Wall Street Journal: Trump Vowed to Kill Biden’s Climate Law. Republicans Say Not So Fast
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-biden-climate-bill-renewable-energy-b3e5fe03 Billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs are at stake in red states By Scott Patterson WASHINGTON—Donald Trump’s campaign-trail vow to end President Biden’s signature climate law is running into a cold reality: Too many Republican lawmakers want to keep it. The Inflation Reduction Act has channeled billions of dollars to renewable-energy […]
Climate Lockdowns Have Arrived: Spain introduces ‘paid climate leave’ so workers ‘can avoid travelling during weather emergencies’ – ‘The worker must refrain from going to work…in accordance with the climate emergency’
UK Guardian: Spain introduces paid climate leave after deadly floods – Government approves up to four days of paid leave so workers can avoid travelling during weather emergencies – Spain’s leftwing government has approved “paid climate leave” of up to four days to allow workers to avoid travelling during weather emergencies, a month after floods killed at least 224 people. …
The new measure aims to “regulate in accordance with the climate emergency” so that “no worker must run risks”, labour minister Yolanda Díaz told public broadcaster RTVE. If emergency authorities raise the alarm about a risk, “the worker must refrain from going to work”, said Díaz. Employees can resort to a reduced working day beyond the four-day period, a mechanism that already exists for emergencies, the government said. The legislation was inspired by similar laws in Canada, RTVE reported. “In the face of climate denialism from the right, the Spanish government is committed to green policies,” Díaz said, according to a report in El País.

Utility Companies Are Not on Our Side: ‘Reliability & affordability come secondary to the decarbonization agenda’
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/11/20/utility_companies_are_not_on_our_side_151975.html By Linnea Lueken & H. Sterling Burnett When electric power was a novel idea and just beginning to be adopted in urban centers, the industry had a Wild West feel to it as multiple companies strung wires, opened power plants, and sold electricity on an unregulated market. Competition was fierce, but state and local governments concluded that […]
Analysis: ‘The tide is turning against the green elites’ as COP29 turn into ‘the conference that no one cares about’ – ‘Election of Trump…all but guarantees the war on fossil fuels waged by the Obama-Biden is dead’
Joel Kotkin – Spiked Columnist: The late-19th-century US political wire-puller Mark Hanna once quipped: ‘There are two things that are important in politics. The first is money and I can’t remember what the second one is.’ Billions, potentially trillions, have been sunk into green projects enriching the already wealthy and their nonprofits, in what outgoing US treasury secretary Janet Yellen has proclaimed the greatest business opportunity of the 21st century. …
The only major country set to benefit from the ‘energy transition’ is China, which continues to spew more greenhouse gases than all advanced countries combined. It is using efficient, cheaper fossil fuels to dominate the solar-panel industry, building its battery capacity to roughly four times the size of America’s while exercising effective control of rare-earth minerals and the technology for processing them. …
Given the damage being done to Europe’s industrial base, the political tide is unsurprisingly turning against the greens. The gilets jaunes demonstrations in France in the late 2010s have been followed by large-scale farmers protests in the Netherlands, Poland and Germany. This year, voters gave the greens a ballot-box kicking at the European Parliament elections. Even as the technocracy sticks to its green religion, voters are headed in the opposite direction.
The election of Donald Trump, one of whose campaign slogans is ‘drill, baby, drill’, all but guarantees that the war on fossil fuels waged by the Obama-Biden administrations is dead. …
But don’t expect the big green investors, nonprofits and their allies in the media and academia to give up easily. The ‘anti-industry industry’ behind such moves as banning gas stoves, stopping new LNG facilities and cracking down on plastics draws support from the ultra-rich, including Steve Jobs’s widow, Laurene, Michael Bloomberg, the Rockefellers, Jeff Bezos and venture capitalist John Doerr.
Most Americans and Europeans simply aren’t buying the climate jihad. In the US, a recent Gallup poll shows that just three per cent of the population considers climate change and the environment their main concern. Even young people, the group most concerned with climate change, rank it far below issues such as inflation, housing, gun violence, jobs and corruption. …
As it stands, the madcap drive to Net Zero in the West essentially guarantees economic decline on a global scale. As other nations seek to grow, the use of fossil fuels continues to increase not only in China, but also in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Vietnam. Some Africans see efforts to stop fossil fuel or nuclear development in their countries as ‘climate colonialism’. As Nigerian vice-president Yemi Osinbajo has noted: ‘No country in the world has been able to industrialise using renewable energy.’
The leaders of the West want to spend upwards of $6 trillion annually for the next 30 years on green largesse.
Faced with such competition, the leaders of the West want to spend upwards of $6 trillion annually for the next 30 years on green largesse. But while previous environmental actions to tackle water and air pollution were popular, the current green agenda offers little more than immiseration. It will force the masses to huddle in smaller dwelling units, enjoy less mobility, endure more costly home heating, less air-conditioning and a more austere diet.
It will force the masses to huddle in smaller dwelling units, enjoy less mobility, endure more costly home heating, less air-conditioning and a more austere diet.
Net Zero can only be imposed by what a senior executive at Deutsche Bank calls ‘a certain degree of eco-dictatorship’. Many climate activists, including at the UN, saw the controls governments imposed on their populations during the pandemic as a ‘fire drill’ for what must happen to meet climate goals.
Trump wins U.S. presidency! Net Zero, UN climate pacts, Green New Deal & Inflation Reduction Act face ruin
Climate Depot’s Marc Morano: “Congratulations to President Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance. Finally, US leadership has returned to fight the international climate agenda. The U.S. will finally have a president back in the Oval Office who will be pro-science, pro-environment, and fight the demented net zero climate agenda, the Green New Deal, and the UN climate treaty process.
President Trump will also be able to face off against the ridiculous, unsustainable, and unscientific claims that emanate from our most esteemed institutions. America will once again be a beacon of scientific realism regarding climate change and energy policy. Bravo!”
A Looming Political Earthquake: Inflation Reduction Act’s unprecedented climate spending—much of it uninvestigated—may soon lead to unprecedented scandals

Mills If it weren’t for the election season swamping news coverage, odds are more people would be talking about the revelation that, to quote a Bloomberg headline, “The World Bank Somehow Lost Track of at Least $24 Billion.” In fact, that may understate the reality: the World Bank’s “accounting gap” could be as […]
