Professor Roger Pielke is an objective and well-informed professor of environmental policy at the University of Colorado.

A growing number of initiatives by elitist organizations, working hand-in-glove with local kindred spirits, is transforming once-self-governing communities into instruments of environmental political correctness. Cloaked in the mantle of providing for “sustainable” or “livable” communities, these programs include such fashionable ideas as “open space,” “heritage areas,” “view sheds,” ”smart growth,” “clean energy,” and “combatting climate […]
Can the rest of America afford its Alice in Wonderland energy policies for? (Can California?) California loves to be seen as the trendsetter on energy and environmental policies.

It seems scientism passes for science these days. There are rarely any happy prophets. To get headlines you have to claim the world is ending. Add generous helpings of doom and gloom—and a pinch of apocalypse—and you’ll widen your audience. The most recent batch of dire predictions for humanity’s future takes the same dramatic approach. […]

Repeal is long overdue. Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has sent U.S. oil, natural gas, and propane production soaring. Natural gas output is up 36% since 2005. Oil output […]

Last Thursday, 20 March, the Washington Post published an amazing article by Juliet Eilperin, their Environment reporter, claiming the Koch brothers are the major owners of Canadian “tar sands” – the source of oil to be shipped through the Keystone XL . Specifically the article said: “The biggest leaseholder in Canada’s oil sands isn’t Exxon […]
For decades the Green Movement has claimed that Earth is threatened by the activity and even the existence of mankind. Green policies dictate that the noble response is relinquishing our liberties to “save” the planet from peril.
