E15 Bill Expands, Not Eliminates, Ethanol Mandate
"The E15 bill isn't a mandate." No, it's the *expansion* of a mandate. The ethanol mandate requires more ethanol than we can use. The Clean Air Act (CAA) serves as a check on it. So do Small Refinery Exemptions (SREs). Loosening the CAA and reducing SREs expands the mandate.
Georgia Data Centers Falsely Claim Renewables, Fueling Shortages
🚨 Scam alert 🚨 Georgia's new "Customer Identified Resources" program lets data centers claim solar and wind farms as "their" electricity sources, while still totally relying on Georgia's overwhelmingly gas-, nuclear-, and coal-powered grid. This is exactly the kind of practice that...
IPCC Scenario Panel Drops Alarmist RCP8.5 and Peers
A rare piece of good news from the international climate bureaucracy: The committee that developed the GHG emissions scenarios used in the IPCC's climate models has removed the three most unrealistic and alarmist scenarios: RCP8.5, SSP5-8.5, and SSP3-7.0. These scenarios, especially RCP8.5,...
Domestic Shale Keeps US Gas Cheap; Europe Pays Import Premium
The Shale Revolution gave US producers access to abundant domestic natural gas, which is why America can maintain low natural gas prices even amid Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Europe's natural gas prices, by contrast, are suffering because Europe banned fracking and...
Government Taxes, Not Wars, Drive Gas Price Spikes
People are well aware that gasoline prices have risen because of America’s war with Iran. But there is another war raising gasoline prices every day, which many people have become accustomed to. That is the war on gasoline, i.e., federal and regional...
Over
A 2024 study, using satellite data, found no evidence of electricity use at night for 1.18 billion people. That means 14% of the world is unable to access modern life. Calls to rapidly reduce fossil fuel use are calls to keep...
EV Adoption Hinges on Subsidies, Not Inherent Superiority
Myth: EVs have achieved superiority over gas cars, as evidenced by their increasingly high adoption rates in China and Europe. Truth: In both of those places, high EV adoption rates are the result of massive government subsidies of EVs and forced...
EPA's Rigorous Cost‑benefit Analysis Supports Energy‑saving Lives
Rep.@AugustPfluger on how unleashing US energy saves lives: "This EPA is doing what the agency is supposed to: rigorous, honest, cost-benefit analysis—not rubber stamping regulations that strangle reliable energy production while claiming to save lives on a spreadsheet." https://t.co/Z4EzsZTtV1
Texas's 44% Renewable Share Still Needs Reliable Backup
44% of Texas's electricity generation in the first quarter of 2026 came from solar and wind. Does this mean Texas is on its way to a grid that's fully or mostly powered by solar and wind? No. Solar and wind are...
Congress Should Permanently Repeal Jones Act, Not Just Waive
The Jones Act requires cargo shipping between US ports to be US-built, US-owned, and US-crewed. It hurts our economy and makes US shipping uncompetitive. It's great that the admin is waiving the Jones Act through August. But Congress should kill the...
IMF: UK and Germany Hardest Hit by Energy Crisis
The UK and Germany are the two countries in the developed world whose economic growth prospects have been most hurt by the ongoing energy crisis, according to the IMF. This is totally unsurprising given that the UK has shut down its...
Free Nuclear From Irrational Policies to Triple Output
A total of 38 countries have now signed a pledge to triple global nuclear energy by 2050. I have argued for years that countries should unleash nuclear power by removing the irrational policies holding it back. But the way to unleash...
Nuclear Complements, Not Replaces, Europe’s Fossil Fuel Mix
Myth: European countries should unleash nuclear because they need an affordable, reliable energy source to replace fossil fuels. Truth: European countries should unleash nuclear because they would benefit from an affordable, reliable energy source *in addition to* fossil fuels.
Stop Senate Bill Subsidizing Utility Monopolies and Wasteful Transmission
Tell your Senator not to subsidize electric monopolies at your expense Electric monopolies love building electric transmission lines, whether they are needed or not, because the government requires consumers to pay for them—meaning a guaranteed profit. That’s why we need transmission policies...
Solar‑plus‑storage Can't Meet Global Energy Demand Soon
Elon claims that energy abundance can be achieved with only solar plus battery storage. This is just not true, not today and not for the forseeable future. Even just supplying global electricity demand (around 20% of energy) with solar and storage would...
