Let’s stay on the topic of the demise of fossil fuels to boil water to create steam to run the turbines that create electricity for the power grid. In a recent article I sent you I said “it’s clear that fossil fuels are toast.” And the hits keep rolling. You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to figure this…
I have been writing for a long time about following the money as it relates to climate change. More recently I’ve been revealing how more and more finance entities have been committing to begin redirecting their capital away from fossil fuel projects and into renewable energy assets.

The last couple of messages weren’t particularly encouraging. This one brings a better message: The message is getting through. The message is that climate change is REAL, something to be concerned about and will have a personal impact. “Nearly three-quarters of respondents also said they were worried about the current global climate, with 34 percent saying they…
The following Newsweek opinion piece’s principal message is that the current COVID-19 pandemic should teach us the lesson about the cost of failing to recognize foreseeable disasters and take actions to mitigate them. Denying the science behind pending catastrophes doesn’t make them go away. “The real discussion we should be having is not about the age-old debate of big government versus small…
Before I start my overview of the attached article I want to address the feedback I received from many of you about my format. Thanks to all of you who responded.
