America’s light usage reveals insanity of relying on weather-dependent wind & solar
/in Economy, Environment, Healthcare, News /by Ronald SteinThe U.S.A. Light Usage Map demonstrates that most of America’s population is East of the Mississippi which represents areas most susceptible to erratic weather patterns, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and ungodly amounts of rain and snow and frigid temperatures extremes, which perpetuate the unreliability of any intermittent electricity attainable from wind and solar. The northern hemisphere turns […]
Correcting The Record On Climate
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment /by Committee For A Constructive TomorrowNary a day goes by without an outrageous claim about climate in the media. These over-the-top, outrageous assertions are not science. They are talking points spoon-fed by radical pressure groups to an all-too-compliant media. They are often made up on the spot. Just this week Marc Morano posted the facts that debunk media claims that “summer droughts […]
Where Is Global Warming’s Missing Heat Coming From? Part-3
/in Environment, News /by Terigi Ciccone and Dr. Jay LehrLET’S RECAP: In Part-1 of this three-part series, we presented the latest findings and data that show how the Earth’s internal nuclear furnace may play a major role in the changes in the Earth’s climate. We demonstrated the enormous impact that the El Nino warming cycles have had on the global satellite temperatures of the past […]
Coral Extinction Crisis Canceled – New Study Documents Billions of Coral Colonies
/in Economy, Environment /by James TaylorA newly published study of coral reefs finds coral populations are staggeringly large and extremely unlikely to face extinction pressures anytime in the foreseeable future. The peer-reviewed study by scientists who had previously promoted alarm about coral populations deals a major blow to alarmist climate change campaigns that corals are on the verge of extinction. The new […]
Let’s Kick This Monster’s Ass!
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Science /by John Droz, Jr.Democrats are hell-bent on implementing a “carbon enforcement mechanism.” What does that mean? It means the enactment of absolutely massive new fossil fuel taxes that will impose draconian lifestyle changes on all but the wealthiest Americans. As we brace ourselves for a plethora of involuntary sacrifices, it’s comforting to know that the wealthy are fully on board […]
‘Social Cost of Carbon’ Nonsense
/in Culture Wars, DrRichSwier.com, Elections, Energy, Environment, Politics /by Committee For A Constructive TomorrowAmerican oil, coal and natural gas are abundant, affordable and efficient, so naturally the anti-energy Left hates them. Fossil fuels keep the lights on, transportation moving, and our houses warm, all at less cost and a tiny fraction of the land required for inefficient wind and solar. The math is not on the side of […]
Electric Vehicle Subsidies and other Fantasies
/in Economy, Environment, Liberty /by Craig RuckerElectric vehicles (EVs) are the future. Everyone will want one because they’re emission-free, ecologically responsible, and more affordable every year. That’s why GM, Volvo, and other manufacturers will soon be making only EVs. Or so we’re told. Some people have high disposable incomes and do most of their driving locally. For them buying an EV […]
Reporting From Frigid Texas: Wind and Solar Power Fail When You Need Them the Most
/in Economy, Environment, Politics /by H. Sterling BurnettContrary to the claims of green energy profiteers and apologists in the mainstream media, wind and solar power, particularly their absence during a critical, surprising period of peak demand, were largely to blame for the widespread power outages in Texas during the polar freeze that hit the state last week. Although the depth and length […]

National Climate Emergency Act: America Declares War on Itself
/in Economy, Environment, Liberty, National Security, Politics /by Hayden LudwigDemocrats have introduced a bill intended to give President Joseph Biden sweeping powers to halt global warming, using wartime measures to declare war on nature itself. The National Climate Emergency Act (NCEA) (H.R. 794), introduced on February 5 by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) with support from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), exhumes a […]
RENEWABLES: Learning the Wrong Lesson in Texas?
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics /by Jerry NewcombeAs we all know, terrible ice storms recently in the Lone Star state froze many of their wind turbines and froze some of the gas pipelines, knocking out electricity for millions at a critical time. Some people even froze to death. This was a tragedy, but despite the utter failure of “green” energy sources during […]
Those millions of new ‘green’ jobs are going to China and India
/in Economy, Environment, Politics /by Ronald SteinWhen U.S. “Special Envoy” for Climate John Kerry recently urged workers upset by the Biden administration’s decision to scuttle the Keystone XL pipeline to “learn to make solar panels”, he was oblivious to the fact that China and India dominate the solar panel manufacturing market. President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Recovery Plan is to build a modern, […]
Corporate Leaders Cozy up to Costly Biden Climate Agenda
/in Economy, Environment, Politics /by Craig RuckerIn simpler times, environmentalists and Big Business were on opposite poles. While Greens blamed capitalism for destroying the planet, industry leaders credited the free market system with providing jobs and prosperity. It seems those days are gone. Shortly after President Biden was elected, more than 150 world leaders signed an open letter to Biden, pledging […]
Texas Energy Commissioner: Grid Spending Placed Green Politics Over Reliability
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment /by Pamela GellerAn Emergency Order from the Biden administration’s Department of Energy shows Texas energy grid operator ERCOT was instructed to stay within green energy standards by purchasing energy from outside the state at a higher cost, throttling power output throughout the state ahead of a catastrophic polar vortex. Climate crap kills. As a social principle . […]
Biblical Conditions of Pima County Roads
/in Economy, Environment, News, Politics /by Craig J. CantoniAccording to the Bible, the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years. Likewise, homeowners on a suburban street in Pima County, in metro Tucson, have been wandering in the desert for 40 years why their street hasn’t been repaved. To the last point, below is a complaint sent by an unidentified citizen to Pima […]
Climate Hypocrites Hall of Shame – No. 1 Bill Gates
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment /by John EidsonIn addition to multiple other opulent estates he owns, billionaire climate preacher Bill Gates lives in a 66,000 sq. ft. mega-mansion in Seattle, flies the world at will in a gas-guzzling $70-million Bombardier BD-700 Global Express private jet that burns 486 gallons of fossil fuel per hour, and owns more carbon-emitting farmland—242,000 acres—than any other […]
Fascistic Facebook Says It Will Fact Check Global Warming ‘Misinformation’

American K-12 science education gone bad
/in Education, Environment, Politics /by David WojickI don’t often write an article about someone else’s article but Shepard Barbash’s deeply researched piece “Science betrayed” deserves a wide readership. His subtitle says it all: “The propaganda infecting K–12 science curricula, especially on the environment, won’t go away.” Barbash first looks at the history, then where we are today. The entrenchment of the great […]
Left Spins as Texas Turbines Freeze
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Science, Waste, Fraud and Abuse /by Committee For A Constructive TomorrowGreen energy policies have failed Texas. Power outages, in large part caused by frozen wind turbines and snow covered solar panels, are still keeping nearly 500,000 Lone Star residents freezing in the dark. Now, Big Green and the wind and solar industries are in non-stop spin-mode, trying to drum up an alternative narrative to shift […]

VIDEO: Something Evil This Way Comes
/in Commentary, DrRichSwier.com, Elections, Energy, Environment, News, Politics, Science /by John Droz, Jr.Last night Tucker Carlson did a fine segment on the stupidity of wind. Make SURE that you watch the short video in the article, which is superb! My only beef is that Tucker repeatedly called industrial wind projects “wind farms.” There is nothing being farmed, other than subsidies. The lobbyists purposefully coined the phrase “wind farm” to deceive […]
VIDEO: Texas Freeze Shuts Down ‘Renewable’ Power
/1 Comment/in Culture Wars, DrRichSwier.com, Economy, Energy, Environment, Politics, Science /by Committee For A Constructive TomorrowTexas is experiencing a serious deep freeze which is causing people to lose power. Texas investors larded their state with solar panels and wind turbines to rake in federal subsidies and tax credits. Wind and solar are not only inefficient, a cold snap can shut them down all together. CFACT’s Marc Morano discussed the Texas […]
Green Energy Leaves America Out in the Cold in More Ways Than One
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Science /by Family Research CouncilFebruary gave Texas the cold shoulder this weekend as an extreme winter storm pounded the entire state. As of this morning, power had not been restored to more than 4 million Texans. Hundreds of thousands have also lost water after the water treatment plants in Fort Worth, Abilene, and elsewhere suffered power outages. A handful of […]
Progressive Eco-Group: Renewable Energy is a Hoax
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Science /by John EidsonIndependent physicist John Droz alerted me to the website of Deep Green Resistance (DGR), an international environmental organization that calls for the total destruction of what it refers to as the “global industrial economy,” a.k.a. capitalism. Given the group’s progressive credentials, its call for dismantling capitalism throughout the world is not surprising. What is surprising is that […]
Wind Turbines Don’t Even Last 20 Years
/in Economy, Environment, News, Politics /by Isaac OrrEditors Note: As some at the Arizona Corporation Commission want to take us down the “green” rat hole of subsidies and expensive electricity, we need to learn what has happened in other states, in this case, Minnesota. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), wind turbines are supposed to have a useful lifetime of 20 […]
AFL-CIO’s Trumka: Biden Mistake to Kill XL Pipeline
