Paul H. Tice When President Trump worked with Republican-controlled Congress to pass his large tax bill, its policy beliefs on certain Republican members revealed some ugly truths. With the House Razor-thin Republican profit margins and the federal government's unique budget math, extending lower tax verification of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 has been a challenge, with spending on math cutting cuts to offset the $4.5 trillion “cost” of not raising tax rates over the next decade. To complicate things, several Republican congressmen from high-tax countries have been publicly inciting since Election Day for abolishing the cap…

From cfact David Wojick President Trump’s executive order (EO) to wind power poses a clear threat to the under-constructed offshore wind projects, but they seem to have overlooked it. I did not find them revealing this threat to the public or their shareholders. EO is evident when it initiates an investigation to terminate these leases. Here is the text: “With such existing leases, consultation with the Attorney General as needed, the ecological, economic and environmental necessity should be comprehensively reviewed to terminate or modify any existing wind energy leases and to determine the legal basis for any dismissal and to…

Intelligence officials said Tuesday that cartels and gangs pose the most direct danger to the United States. [emphasis, links added] National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard said they have flooded the U.S. with drugs, helping illegal immigrants flood the border and are increasingly violent in areas south of the border where they operate. Cartels and gangs are “the most immediate and direct threat to the United States,” she said. She noted that she attributed the cartels and most Chinese companies to the point of view of prodrugs as the biggest manifestation of the threat. Ms. Gabbard said the United States still…

U.S. Supreme Court won't hear novel youth-led climate change cases Nate Raymond202511 March 25: 29 AM GMT+10 March 24 (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected bids from 21 young people to resume a new lawsuit claiming that the U.S. government's energy policy violated its right to protect against climate change. The judges denied the youth activists’ demands to hear their appeal against the San Francisco-based U.S. Court of Appeals, instructing Oregon’s federal judge to dismiss the case to dismiss the case because they lack legal status to litigate. ……

The Department of Energy (DOE) announced on Monday that it will delay the effective date of three Biden administration’s rules on home equipment. “Under President Trump's leadership, the Department of Energy takes key measures every day to help American families flourish,” U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a statement.

The Maritime Administration (MARAD), the U.S. Department of Transportation’s deputy, authorized Delfin LNG on Friday to issue a license to build a floating liquefied liquefied natural gas export terminal about 50 miles from the Louisiana coast.

Upon the law The amount of water is estimated to be enough to cover Mars in the ocean about a mile deep. Posted by Leslie Eastman Scientists have discovered large amounts of liquid water reservoirs deep in the surface of Mars, which marks our understanding of the water cycles of the Red Planet and has the potential to be habitable The discovery was made using data from NASA's MARS Insight Lander, which recorded four years of seismic activity in MARS before the end of December 2022. By analyzing the speed of Marsquakes' seismic waves, researchers can infer the presence of…

Our friend Steven Hayward, a late-stage in the Big Power Line blog, a university professor and keen thinker, wrote a compelling article last week about “the lowest point of the climate change movement.” [emphasis, links added] If anyone knows about the hysteria of global warming, it would be Hayward. This is how he started to argue: The prevailing wind does not blow to more windmills, but towards energy common sense. The Trump administration has the potential to blow up death, not only in the United States, but globally, to long-standing climate change and administration hostility to fossil fuels. The Trump…

At present, it is difficult to find signs of progress in efforts to decarbonize the economy, as funds under the Biden-era climate plan were revoked, frozen, backed, or at most–most–simple uncertainty. One theme that is both fun and relatively inspiring is to make low-carb cement, a key ingredient in concrete. These materials are about 8% of global carbon emissions. (In addition, surprisingly, concrete is the second largest edible substance on the planet, only more than water.) Two things make cement production problematic. First, the heat required to make cement usually comes from fossil fuels. 2. The central process of making…
