Editors’ Note: Either by accident or design (your choice), the environmental movement and its subsidiary the ESG movement, always seems to tilt the scales towards benefiting China and hurting the US. Whether making us dependent on Chinese-dominated solar panels and windmills, weakening our electrical grid, willfully overlooking the massive use of coal in China, or […]

When auto (even EV driving) enthusiast Rowan Atkinson – Mr. Bean to his fans – last June wrote in The Guardian that there are “sound environmental reasons” why “keeping your old petrol car may be better than buying an EV,” he was vilified as an eco-traitor. Atkinson had added, “We’re realizing that a wider range of options […]

It is alarming that such an important election coming in November may be decided by people who think that the only issue that matters is the “correct“ use of pronouns according to their personal preferences. Rather, there are a lot more important issues that voters should consider and unfortunately, the country is deeply divided on […]

Farmers in several European countries have engaged in mass protests against the agriculture-wrecking, society-destroying, unscientific “green” agenda. Climate alarmists have been wrong for 50+ years, and there’s plenty of evidence to expose the climate hoax. Yet elites around the world continue to tout the fake climate crisis as an excuse to transform society and increase […]
State of the Union: There must be an overhaul of any post-1945 human rights framework and refugee conventions that oppose any deportation or martial action to deter migration.

In 10 years before the proverbial 2035 date when many mandated transitions to “green electricity” occur to reduce or eliminate the usage of fossil fuels, most of today’s elected officials, policy advisers, and policymakers are: Mostly NOT trained in engineering.

When you buy a new internal combustion vehicle, you are also paying for someone else’s electric vehicle. While the subsidies are egregious enough, it turns out EV manufacturers are fleecing us out of billions, and doing it with government help. Attorneys Michael Buschbacher and James Conde explain at The Wall Street Journal: When carmakers test gasoline-powered […]

Recently The Prickly Pear ran an article by Oren Cass called Free Trade’s Origin Myth. Then we ran a rejoinder entitled On Comparative Advantage and International Capital Mobility by Donald Boudreaux, a staunch defender of free trade.
