    I like to read science articles to learn the latest discoveries in science but today, I saw an article that really made me laugh. We have all kinds of self-help books published these days written for the average person, not in technical language for experts. There is Math For Dummies, Computers for Dummies, and a…

    I continue to see articles that hammer on the old lie that the United States is the greatest contributor to pollution, just as they pushed the threat of mass starvation from over-population to push through abortion. That was a lie because the world’s population was on the verge of going into negative growth as we…

    I recently came across two articles that made me think about our approach to the environment. In Russia, the world’s fourth largest lake has been reduced to two small stagnant ponds due to poor agricultural practices that waste water. In the next article, transgender people were calling for us to do away with gender designated…

    I have always had the impression that the environmentalists operate solely on feelings and ignore facts but saw a recent article confirming it once again. Some time ago I heard they were tearing down some dams in Washington State and didn’t think anything of it because we have a lot of old coffer dams that…

    Energy policies are also not being implemented wisely in managing our power grid. Old power plants using coal and gas are being pulled offline faster than  new solar and wind production is being built to replace them. That is straining our already overburdened systems.  In addition, electric cars have to be charged and the demand…

    President Biden continues to push for more reliance on renewable energy with no concern for how it is done. We are facing an increasing energy crisis with existing energy use and our electric grid is being pushed to the limits. We are using an increasing amount of electricity. Homes that once used electricity for lighting…

    My  wife and I took a trip to Van Wert, Oh  a couple years ago, and were surprised to see rows and rows of wind turbines. There looked like there were over 100 that we could see. They stretched for miles north of town and as far west as we could see. We also saw…

    We are continuing to see the folly of depending on wind and solar power. Texas endured a long period without electricity over most of the State because they got an unexpected snow storm. It is extremely rare but a major problem if it occurs. Their solar panels got covered with snow and the wind turbines…

    While Democrats claim to support scientifically based transition to renewable energy, they ignore much of the scientific evidence. While they push the benefits, they ignore the problems created. While they push reducing pollution emissions in the United States, they ignore the fact that we have already reduced the vast majority of emissions and further efforts…
