Globally, The Green Energy Transition Is On The Skids As Costs Wallop Households
by Stacy Meichtry, Bertrand Benoit, and Phred Dvorak  2 hours ago 
 

…Consumers are starting to pay for the energy transition, and they aren’t happy about it. [emphasis, links added]

Governments that were among the earliest in the world to adopt climate legislation tried to take the sting out of the transition by motivating consumers with subsidies.


Now, however, the same capitals are cash-strapped and many are passing the bill to the consumer.

Subsidies are being scaled back, taxes tied to carbon emissions are being phased in, and rules requiring expensive renovations are starting to bite.

ClimateTV – CLIMATE CULT COLLAPSE? – The People and the Market Speak Their Mind
18 hours ago Anthony Watts 6 Comments

On episode 109 of The Climate Realism Show, we look at two recent polls that show climate change opinion is sharply waning in its perception as a threat to the public. At the same time, ESG funds have essentially collapsed as investors pull their money.

Joining us to discuss these issues is Donald Kendal deputy director of Heartland’s Socialism Research Center, and video host of the In the Tank weekly podcast.

Plus, host Anthony Watts, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken analyze this downturn. And, as always, we have the Crazy Climate News of the Week. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET (12 p.m. CT) for the kind of climate realism you can’t find anywhere else, and join the chat to get your questions answered, too.

Watch: Green Extremist Activists Attack Magna Carta Document in London

Two elderly green protesters entered an exhibit at the British Library and used a lump hammer and cold chisel in an attempt to smash the glass case of the Magna Carta.

One of the four remaining copies of the 1215 Magna Carta was the subject of the latest attack against symbols of Western culture by Green extremists on Friday. The British Library, where two of those four copies are held, and where the Treasures Gallery where one of them is on display was closed after the incident today, confirmed the ancient vellum document laying out the roots of Western liberty was not damaged.


A spokesman for the British Library said: “An incident occurred at the British Library on Friday, 10 May, in which two individuals attacked the toughened glass case containing the Magna Carta in the Library’s Treasures Gallery.


“The Library’s Security team intervened to prevent further damage to the case, which was minimal. The police were notified and the Magna Carta itself remains undamaged.”

Navy's Secretive Fleet Of Stealthy Special Operations Boats Set To Evolve

The U.S. Navy just recently awarded a contract for the production of the fourth Combatant Craft Heavy (CCH). This is part of a larger plan to modernize the fleet of CCHs, also known as Sealions, which are the biggest and most secretive of the service's three tiers of stealthy special operations boats. Testing is also now underway on a pop-up eight-round loitering munition launcher for the middle-weight Combatant Craft Mediums (CCM).
 
Navy Cdr. Marty Burns, the program manager for surface systems within U.S. Special Operations Command's (SOCOM) larger Program Executive Office for Maritime systems (PEO-M), provided details about the CCH fleet and the loitering munition launcher for the CCM to The War Zone and other attendees at the annual SOF Week conference on Tuesday. Beyond the CCH and CCM, the current U.S. special operations boat fleets include the Combatant Craft Assault (CCA), the smallest of the stealthy types, and the non-stealthy Special Operations Riverine Craft (SOCR). The Navy has other patrol and riverine-style combat boats in service outside of the Naval Special Warfare community, though the size of those fleets has been shrinking in recent years.

"We just put [CCH] number four on contract" in "late April to Fincantieri," Burns said. Under that contract, "they have an option for craft five," as well.
