The Green Energy Future Is Arriving Faster Than You Think -- Or Not
August 19, 2023/ Francis Menton

Among the media sources serving as propagandists and cheerleaders for the “green energy transition,” two of the most prominent are the New York Times and Bloomberg News.  To get an idea how the “transition” is going, let’s take a look at the latest from those two.

From the Times, in this morning’s print edition, we have a feature article that apparently first appeared online a couple of days ago, August 17.  The headline is:  “The Clean Energy Future Is Arriving Faster Than You Think.”  The sub-head continues the excitement: “The United States is pivoting away from fossil fuels and toward wind, solar and other renewable energy, even in areas dominated by the oil and gas industries.”   

But then Bloomberg News comes out yesterday with an editorial that seems to reach the exact opposite conclusion.  Headline: “Net Zero Is Stalling Out. What Now?” 

So which is it?  Is the green energy future arriving “faster than you think,” or “stalling out”?  Both can’t be right.  Who has the better side of this?

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Comments aren't too bad, either.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
