By Steve Goreham ~ New England home heating and electricity prices are on the rise with no end in sight.

Shutting Down Middle And Blue-Collar America

June 15, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

By Paul Driessen ~ Vocal activists increasingly drive Democrat Party positions across the public policy spectrum. Print, television, social and click-bait media generally support them, while permitting little debate on liberal proposals or their potential ramifications. Even semi-moderate Joe Biden has been pressured into shifting or flipping his positions on abortion, energy, climate change and […]

Victorians Sweat Through A Great Green Hoax

January 26, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

By Andrew Bolt ~ Lily D’Ambrosio, Victoria’s warmist Minister for Energy, in 2017 claimed Labor was helping to “deliver affordable, sustainable and renewable energy”.

COP 24: Climate Lunacy Takes Center Stage In Poland

December 11, 2018 by PA Pundits - International

By Paul Driessen ~ The unwritten rule seems to be that each successive climate report and news release must be more scarifying than any predecessors, especially during the run-up to international conferences.

June 3, 2018 by PA Pundits - International

By Michael Bastasch ~ My, how time flies. Friday marks exactly one year since President Donald Trump announced the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Agreement on man-made global warming.

Tax Reform Bill Moves Closer To Free-Market Energy Policy

November 4, 2017 by PA Pundits - International

By Nicolas Loris ~ The GOP’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act makes a profound policy statement that is to be commended: The goal of the bill’s energy measures is “to move closer to a free-market energy agenda.” Free markets supply affordable energy, innovation, and a clean environment better than any heavy-handed regulatory approach to manipulate […]

February 13, 2017 by PA Pundits - International

By Andrew Bolt ~ The Australian Labor Party wants to force the country to switch to 50 per cent green power – almost all of it unreliable wind and solar – by 2030, or just 13 years from now. How mad is that? New South Wales (NSW) was baked by a heat wave on the […]

September 27, 2014 by PA Pundits - International

Cornwall Alliance works to ensure reliable, affordable energy for poor families worldwide.

Are Our Energy Sources Moral?

May 27, 2014 by PA Pundits - International

By Stephen Moore ~ Energy is the master resource, as the late, great economist Julian Simon used to say. You can’t produce much of anything if you don’t have affordable electric power. My children learned that lesson the hard way when we lost our electricity due to a blizzard several months ago. Welcome, I said […]

September 7, 2011 by PA Pundits - International

By Niger Innis The Environmental Protection Agency insists that its recent air quality initiatives will protect minority and poor Americans from pollution that “disproportionately affects” their health and impairs “environmental justice.” The Affordable Power Alliance is not convinced.

Power For The People

April 4, 2011 by PA Pundits - International

By Paul Driessen In a scene reminiscent of Colonial Williamsburg, for 16 years Thabo Molubi and his partner had made furniture in South Africa’s outback, known locally as the “veld,” using nothing but hand and foot power. When an electrical line finally reached the area, they installed lights, power saws and drills. Their productivity increased […]
