And a big tax cut. Seldom has so much good news been portrayed so
negatively. Oil prices continue to fall in the U.S. and around the
world, but near everyone in the media is grumpy about it. The headlines
today are among the silliest I’ve seen: Energy-company stocks are
declining, oil deflation is an economic threat, the Fed might raise

Larry Kudlow: Lower Oil Prices Are a Free-Market Victory
And a big tax cut. Seldom has so much good news been portrayed so
negatively. Oil prices continue to fall in the U.S. and around the
world, but near everyone in the media is grumpy about it. The headlines
today are among the silliest I’ve seen: Energy-company stocks are
declining, oil deflation is an economic threat, the Fed might raise
rates much ... MOREWind Turbines are 'Expensive, Unreliable and Inefficient'
by Donna Rachel Edmunds. Study reveals another inconvenient truth. Wind power is too variable and too unpredictable to provide a serious alternative to fossil fuels, a new study by the Scientific Alliance and the Adam Smith Institute has confirmed. The researchers concluded that, although it is true that the wind is always blowing ... MOREFay Voshell: The Unabombers At The EPA
The dangerous true believers. Students of recent history will remember Ted Kaczynski as the man who is responsible for three murders and sixteen bombings over a period of eighteen years. These actions were fully excusable from Kaczynski's point of view. As he dispassionately puts it, “In order to get our message before the public with some ... MORE
Shale Revolution Deniers Face Inconvenient Truth
by Mark Perry. Peak what? Despite turning the U.S. into the world's largest producer of natural gas and driving a 3 million barrel per day surge in U.S. oil production in just the last three years, the shale revolution still has its doubters. They couldn't be more wrong. The Montreal-based Centre for Research on Globalization recently dismissed shale ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Why Farmers Need Keystone XL
It’s harvest time! But oil shipments out of the Bakken are causing dangerous and costly rail delays for farmers. The oil boom in the Northern Plains is a boon to the U.S. economy, creating thousands of jobs and increasing our supply of American energy. With nearly 3 million Americans out of work, the Bakken is like a pool of cool water in an arid ... MORECalifornia Drivers Brace For Costly New Gas Tax
Tax-happy politicians take aim at auto drivers. Californians already pay the nation's second highest gas tax at 68 cents a gallon -- and now it will go up again in January to pay for a first-in-the-nation climate change law. "I didn't know that," said Los Angeles motorist Tyler Rich. "It's ridiculous." "I think it’s terrible," added Lupe Sanchez, pumping ... MORETwelve States Sue EPA For "Overstepping Its Authority"
by Barb Berggoetz. The state of Indiana and 11 other states are suing the U.S. Environment Protection Agency over its recent carbon dioxide regulations, contending the agency is “overstepping its authority.” The lawsuit, filed today in U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, charges that the EPA doesn’t have the legal ... MOREKatie Kieffer: One Year of Fracking in CO. Creates More Jobs Than Has Obama’s Entire Economy For Millennials
If only government got out of the way. Fracking in the state of Colorado during the year 2012 created 111,000 jobs whereas Barack Obama’s entire economy has only generated 110,000 jobs for Millennials since 2007. What is wrong with our president? Does he suffer from a migraine headache or is he simply refusing to think straight? ... MORESam Batkins: The Nation's $100 Billion Regulations Tab
Obama’s pen-and-phone regulations are very costly. What does President Obama’s “Year of Action” mean, exactly? The answer is more than $100 billion in regulatory burdens so far this year, putting the nation on track for $200 billion by year’s end. This is what “using his pen and his phone” means for countless manufacturers, energy ... MORECharles Krauthammer: Government By Fiat
The Constitution means nothing to the current regime. The Supreme Court this week admonished the Environmental Protection Agency for overreaching in regulating greenhouse gases. The Clean Air Act covers polluters that emit 250 tons per year (or in some cases, 100 tons). This standard makes no sense if applied to greenhouse gases. ... MORECurbing Carbon Vs Rational Recklessness
by Steve Chapman. Rousing the public to do something about the growing federal debt is not easy. The dangers it poses are distant and vague. The immediate effects are not apparent. Any measure to cut deficits looks trivial next to the scale of the problem. Doing nothing is the easiest option. But responsible adults understand the need to ... MORE
Richard Rahn: How Fracking Saved Obama
The only thing keeping economy afloat. Without fracking of oil and gas deposits, there would have been no economic growth in the U.S. over the past five years. Yet the oil and gas industry has been a favorite whipping boy of the environmental zealots both inside and outside of the administration. Without those brilliant entrepreneurs and ... MOREEPA's Next Target In Climate Change Fight: Cooking Stoves
by John Solomon. The war on humans. The Obama administration's war on climate change may soon be moving inside the kitchen. Environmental
Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy is set to unveil Tuesday
six federal grants to universities to fund research on clean
cooking-stove technology. The announcement will put the EPA's ... MORE
William Sullivan: Tilting At Climate Windmills
Another round of hope and change, anyone? The sheer egotism in big government mouthpieces claiming that they can rescue mankind from all the natural threats which afflict us should be laughable. And make no mistake -- for many of us, it is. For my money, the humor in such egotism doesn’t get any more obvious than then-governor ... MOREPeter Suderman: The Ethanol Disaster
Bad for consumers, the environment, and the poor. Last November, when the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) proposed moderating years of escalating mandates by reducing the amount of ethanol that must be mixed into gasoline, a top ethanol lobbyist seemed perplexed. "We're all just sort of scratching our heads here ... MORE
