Obama on our energy future: "We’re making new investments in the development of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that’s actually made from a plant-like substance, algae -- you've got a bunch of algae out here," Obama said at the University of Miami today. "If we can...
Newt has released a 28 minute video discussing energy independence. (h/t numerous readers) Via Human Events, the video will be broadcast in key markets, in its entirety. Also, it was done entirely from memory, without aid of notes or a teleprompter. Big question: Will people watch a...
So Obama is going to kill the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, pending apparently another route being drawn up. Which means that he has killed it dead, because any route is going to be met with objection and delay. Instead, let's build more of the bird...
Windmills are a centerpiece of Obama's energy plans for the nation. We've already documented how wind power subsidies take from the windless to give to the winded, and some problems when the wind blows too much. Here's another, from Britain, regarding noise pollution: Wind turbines are being turned off...

When I dubbed the nascent Solyndra scandal "Teapot Solyndra" in memory of the Teapot Dome Scandal, I worried that I might be getting ahead of myself. But with this administration, it's hard to get ahead of oneself. Fearing the worst usually is the safest bet. And that worst fear seems...
I've been receiving e-mails from readers in the past weeks insisting that Obama would kill the pipeline planned to bring "oil sands" oil from Canada to the U.S. Given the Obama administration's policies to date, such expectation was reasonable. The environmental movement made the oil sands...
You know how much Obama loves windmills, and how overblown is the future of wind power. In Britain they have been pushing wind power far harder and longer than we have, and it is turning into a fiasco of subsidies from the windless masses to the winded-gentry. Anthony...
Taking wasted energy from auto traffic and turning it into electricity sounds hard to believe, but these Israeli researchers may be onto something (h/t LukeHandCool): Scientists in Israel say they have invented a way of turning traffic into electricity. The bright sparks at the country's Technion Institute of Technology...
Because as we know, windmills are our future. While I did send a Tweet, I didn't get to follow the Twitter Townhall. Please tell me, did he mention windmills? or at least "wind energy"?...
Yes, "drill baby drill" will not increase the supply of oil this month, but if we had been drilling baby drilling the past two and one-half years, instead of stifling production almost everywhere, we would not need to be releasing our strategic petroleum reserves. Via...
More in the high-speed rail follies (h/t Charlie Sykes), from the LA. Times:California's much-vaunted high-speed rail project is, to put it bluntly, a train wreck. Intended to demonstrate the state's commitment to sustainable, cutting-edge transportation systems, and to show that the U.S. can build rail...
Sure, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may be about to shut down oil production in a key region of Texas to protect the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard. But the Feds are ignoring the threat from this environmental danger, the Texas Roadrunner, caught here eating a,...

It's not just in the Gulf of Mexico. Or in West Virginia.There is a concerted effort on the part of the Obama administration to choke the growth of domestic supplies of fossil fuels. Instead, we have a President obsessed with windmills.Now it's Alaska (h/t reader sort of...
