3

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ There are lots of happy reports on the Supreme Court’s ruling throwing out EPA’s so-called Clean Power Plan. Some go so far as to suggest that EPA is barred from regulating power plant CO2 emissions. It is not quite that simple and the result is rather amusing. EPA is still […]

3

By Peter Murphy ~ This Independence Day weekend, the 246th, America is in turmoil, both domestically and overseas due in large measure to federal climate change policies.

By Duggan Flanakin ~ The Biden Administration is proving to be the willing lackey of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Biden Policies Unnecessarily Pit Development Against Nature

January 9, 2022 by

1

By Duggan Flanakin ~ The Biden Administration, in a mad and ineffective rush to stave off climate catastrophe, is confounding those who seek protection of threatened and endangered species and habitat.

August 10, 2021 by

1

By Katie Tubb ~ President Joe Biden issued an executive order Aug. 5 calling for half of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be zero-emission vehicles by 2030.
