From the Daily Caller Irving KlinskyContributor Hundreds of millions of Americans are at risk of power shortages this winter if weather conditions are severe, according to a new report from grid regulator North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).

from CFACT David Wojik Trillions of dollars in fantasy financial negotiations are becoming increasingly complex and uncertain, which makes sense because reaching a deal may be impossible. At the beginning, the co-chairs of the negotiating group submitted a 9-page draft text on the New Collective Quantitative Targets (NCQG) for climate finance.

It is an optional language for existing text. Many of these options are not simple edits; they are distinct texts. The…
