The green energy revolution of the past 30 years has resulted in practically nothing. It’s been a flop. Fossil fuels remain as wildly popular as ever. In the 1970s, the big worry was that fossil fuels would soon run out, and so we should “use them wisely.” But in the 1980s, the risk changed to one of an overheating planet, and so we should not use them at all. —P Gosselin, No Tricks Zone, 12 January 2018
Cuadrilla’s controversial bid to frack for shale gas in Lancashire has struck a rare gush of good luck after tests unearthed “excellent” conditions for fracking. The tests also suggest a high natural gas content in the core samples, Cuadrilla said. —Jillian Ambrose, The Daily Telegraph, 13 January 2018
Germany becomes the new poster child for climate change hypocrisy. “Do as I say, but don’t pay attention to what I actually do” is the trademark of climate change policy. —Nicolas Loris, The Daily Signal, 11 January 2018

It’s strange how British advocates of population control are not so keen to practice a one, or even two-child policy themselves. Perhaps such men think that, unlike their poorer fellow-humans, they can better provide for large families. But if, like Stanley J., you believe that over-consuming humans are exhausting the Earth’s resources, then it’s the rich who should be most persuaded to have fewer children, not the poor. –Dominic Lawson, The Sunday Times, 14 January 2018
Energy is the things that is really important nowadays. I think it will be good to know the ways how to make it better.

Ending the use of fossil fuels is one of the stupidist ideas ever these enviromentalists are total idiots and so are the politicians who listen to their mindless banter and do their bidding just like our own idiot Moonbeam Brown is doing
