My work here is finished

For the past decade, I have been dedicated to fighting bad energy policies. My efforts began in New Mexico, where the organizations I lead are based, and expanded to focus on national issues. When I accepted the executive director position on January 1, 2007, New Mexico had an anti-energy governor and America had a pro-energy president.

America needs to use more energy, not less

During the 2016 election, both candidates promised to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. Donald Trump made the recovery of jobs lost to China and Mexico a cornerstone of his campaign. Hillary Clinton's website states: "While too many politicians and experts in Washington gave up on American manufacturing, Hillary never did."

Haiti needs electricity. Hillary gives them a sweatshop, foundation gets a new donor

Until Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti nearly a month ago, on October 4, the impoverished island country was out of the headlines--pushed aside by election news. But new emails which were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the Republican National Committee and then shared with ABC News, made public on October 11, make Haiti part of the U.S. election news, as they highlight the cozy connections between the Clinton Foundation, Hillary Clinton's State Department and the Clinton's cronies. The corruption that has been brought to light is nothing short of scandalous--though, since it's merely one more such story, few are probably following it.

Get ready to break wind

If Hillary Clinton becomes our next president, one of the changes you can expect is an invasion of industrial wind development in your community that has the potential to severely damage your property values, ruin the viewshed, impact your sleep patterns, and cause your electricity rates to "necessarily skyrocket"--all thanks to your tax dollars.

WikiLeaks: Hillary's conflicted comments on fracking

One of the recent WikiLeaks email dumps revealed some interesting things about hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. (This enhanced drilling technology is a big part of America's new era of energy abundance.) First, they add to the growing question about what Hillary Clinton really believes: her public comments, or her private positions?

Striking down Obama's climate legacy has its day in court

President Obama's flagship policy on climate change had its day in court on Tuesday, September 27. The international community is closely watching; most Americans, however, are unaware of the historic case known as the Clean Power Plan (CPP)--which according to David Rivkin, one of the attorneys arguing against the plan: "is not just to reduce emissions, but to create a new electrical system."

Blame for Ford's Mexico move falls on Obama administration

Ford Motor Company made headlines on Wednesday, September 9, when, during an investor conference, CEO Mark Fields told attendees that it will invest $1.6 billion building a manufacturing plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and will move all of its small car production there during the next two to three years.

Ethanol is the wrong solution

University of Michigan's Energy Institute research professor John DeCicco, Ph.D., believes that rising carbon dioxide emissions are causing global warming and, therefore, humans must find a way to reduce its levels in the atmosphere—but ethanol is the wrong solution. According to his just-released study, political support for biofuels, particularly ethanol, has exacerbated the problem instead of being the cure it was advertised to be.

A new international example for bad energy policy

If a country's goal is to decrease carbon emissions by increasing reliance on renewable energy, it only makes sense to install the new equipment in the location with the best potential--both in geography and government.

From fracking to flatulence: the all-out assault on methane

What is the “biggest unfinished business for the Obama administration?” According to a report from Bill McKibben, the outspoken climate alarmist who calls for all fossil fuels to be kept in the ground, it is “to establish tight rules on methane emissions”—emissions that he blames on the “rapid spread of fracking.”

The few, the loud, the anti-fossil fuel crowd

If you get your news from the mainstream media, you likely think the views expressed by the environmental activists represent the majority of Americans. After all, their highly visible protests against the Keystone pipeline--sit-ins in front of the White House, locking themselves to the White House fence and then being arrested for it, and parading down the National Mall carrying a huge inflated tube emblazoned with the words: "Just say no to Keystone"--were effective.

The Renewable Fuel Standard: "set up for fraud"

Researcher Christine Lakatos and I, together, have produced the single largest body of work on green-energy crony-corruption. Our years of collaboration have revealed that those with special access and influence have cashed in on the various green-energy programs and benefitted from the mandates, rules, and regulations that accompany the huge scheme.

Trump: making America's energy policy cheaper, faster, and better

The name Donald Trump will occupy the news cycle during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, OH. Other than comments from oil entrepreneur Harold Hamm, energy won't be a huge topic on the stage--though it does hold a spot on the newly approved Republican Platform and has a starring role in Trump's plan to "make America great again."

El Niño, La Niña and natural gas

Death Valley, California, is known as "the hottest place on earth." But, if you hear the news that the "Hottest Place on Earth Has Record-Breaking Hot June"--when "temperatures exceeded average June temperatures by about 6 °F"--it might be easy to ascribe the heat to alarmist claims of climate change.

May free speech reign and scientific inquiry prevail

Throughout the past four years, climate change activists have been secretly coordinating with one another regarding ways to prosecute individuals, organizations, and companies that are their ideological foes. They met to develop a strategy to use RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), which was intended to provide stronger weapons for prosecuting organized crime, against those who speak out against the Obama administration's war on fossil fuels.
