Institute for Energy Research: ‘From 1970 to 2023, U.S. emissions of six criteria air pollutants declined 78% while GDP grew 321% & energy consumption rose 42%’
From 1970 to 2023, U.S. emissions of six criteria air pollutants declined 78% while GDP grew 321% and energy consumption rose 42%—consistent with the Environmental Kuznets Curve and driven by wealth creation and market incentives rather than central planning. pic.twitter.com/CTXjysyrZi — Institute for Energy Research (@IERenergy) February 3, 2026
Meta’s Nuclear Bet Is an Endorsement of Trump’s Energy Vision
https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2026/02/03/metas_nuclear_bet_is_an_endorsement_of_trumps_energy_vision_1162681.html By Anthony Watts , H. Sterling Burnett Donald Trump’s call for “American energy dominance” once drew eyerolling from Silicon Valley. Now, in a twist no one saw coming, Meta and other big-tech AI giants are beginning to embrace Trump’s energy vision. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Meta has struck sweeping agreements to develop nuclear power […]

Energy Sec. Wright: $10 trillion spent on ‘wind, solar, & batteries’ and they are only ‘2.6% of global primary energy’ – ‘Hydrocarbons were 84% of primary energy in 1973, & they’re about 83% today’
President Trump and @SecretaryWright are focused on COMMON SENSE: Hydrocarbons are 83% of global primary energy consumption, while wind, solar, and batteries are ONLY 2.6%.

Democrat Governors Ignore Global Realities, Cling to ‘Green’ Policies By Gordon Tomb As global corporations and governments increasingly shed ideologically driven policies that raise energy prices and undermine supply, governors in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic cling to counterproductive agendas of contradiction and equivocation. Programs that prioritize dubious environmental goals over economic growth and basic human […]

Vibe shift at Davos: Honeywell CEO says solar power cannot produce cement or steel: ‘They are very energy-intensive… It’s physics…it cannot bring the amount of joules we need to produce this infrastructure which is required in the world’
The vibe shift is real and spectacular! Now we've got a guy at a WEF Davos panel pointing out obvious, showstopping problems with woke energy, and instead of pushing back, the other panelists nod and agree. https://t.co/8xCZxman8G — Tom Nelson (@TomANelson) January 22, 2026
Analysis: The end of green energy Fossil fuels are still king – ‘Green doomerism has failed to meet the reality test’
Joel Kotkin: But the green doomerism has failed to meet the reality test. We now know that predictions of climate crises, some of which date back to the 1970s, have turned out to be exaggerated or even plain wrong. For example, both ABC and NBC boldly predicted in 2008 that New York would be under water by 2015; last time I visited my familial home town, however, it seemed very much on dry land. Extinction rates, often blamed on climate change, have slowed, with even the polar bears continuing to thrive in somewhat warmed temperatures.
A 2021 paper by Carnegie Mellon University researchers David Rode and Paul Fishbeck tracked apocalyptic predictions dating from the first Earth Day in 1970. Across half a century, 61% of the forecasts of planetary collapse have come and gone (and the planet is still here, chugging along). Even the committed climate sirens at Nature journal have been forced to retract a study that claimed the world economy would contract due to climate change.
