Out of Control Government
More job-killing rules from EPA
Social cost of methane regulations will further constrain energy production, for no benefit Paul Driessen Having already done yeoman’s work stifling economic growth and job creation, President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency is doubling down again. The United States created a paltry 38,000 new jobs in May: one for every 8,000 Americans. Its labor force participation rate […]
Graduates face a big challenge
When they go into the Real World, college and high school grads will actually have to THINK Paul Driessen As they don caps and gowns, endure commencement speeches and take their diplomas, many high school and college graduates face bleak prospects in an economy that grew a dismal 0.5% the first quarter.

Inside climate propaganda
InsideClimate News excels at propagating environmentalist and Obama thinking and policies Paul Driessen Have you ever wondered how the LA Times, Associated Press, Weather Channel and your local media always seem to present similar one-sided stories on climate change, fossil fuels, renewable energy and other environmental issues? How their assertions become “common knowledge,” like the following? Global […]
RICO for government climate deniers?
How corrupt and fraudulent is the government “science” that denies natural climate change? Paul Driessen and Ron Arnold A self-appointed coalition of Democrat state attorneys general is pursuing civil or criminal racketeering actions against ExxonMobil, the Competitive Enterprise Institute and other organizations. The AGs claim the groups are committing fraud, by “denying” climate change. The charge is bogus. What we contest are […]
Methane mendacity – and madness
Radical green and government agitators slam methane in latest bid to terminate fossil fuel use Paul Driessen Quick: What is 17 cents out of $100,000? If you said 0.00017 percent, you win the jackpot. That number, by sheer coincidence, is also the percentage of methane in Earth’s atmosphere. That’s a trivial amount, you say: 1.7 […]
Prosecuting climate chaos skeptics with RICO
Al Gore, Torquemada Whitehouse, Democrat AGs threaten to silence and bankrupt skeptics Paul Driessen It’s been a rough stretch for Climate Armageddon religionists and totalitarians.

And despite campaigns […]
The Big Green job-killing machine
Environmentalists wield powerful Endangered Species Act to kill jobs, impoverish families Ron Arnold The abuse of environmentalist power to hurt people never stops. “Another one gone,” began the Lost Coast Outpost’s report in late January.

Washington’s despotic lawlessness
We’ve had a “try and stop me” president. Now we need one who will invalidate those actions. Paul Driessen Washington is out of control. Legislators, judges and unelected bureaucrats want to control our lives, livelihoods and living standards, with no accountability even for major errors, calculated deception, or deliberate, often illegal assaults on our liberties and […]
Banning fossil fuel benefits
Does their abysmal grasp of energy and economics make Hillary and Bernie unfit to govern? Paul Driessen “Natural gas is a good, cheap alternative to fossil fuels,” former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi famously intoned. (Psssst. Ms. Nancy, natural gas is a fossil fuel.) “If I thought there was any evidence that drilling could […]
Last-ditch assaults on affordable energy
Obama and allies double down on biofuels and climate, and against carbon-based fuels Paul Driessen Separating reality from ideology and political agendas is difficult, but essential, if we are to revitalize our economy and help the world’s poorest families take their rightful places among Earth’s prosperous people. Energy reality is certainly in our favor. But ideological […]
