Energy reporter writing from a pro-human, pro-civilization perspective on oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear and everything else.
Climate NGOs and legacy media outlets focus obsessively on solar and wind energy. But since 2011, the global growth story has been natural gas, and it's not even close. My latest, on another platform:
📊**The "LCOE is misleading" megathread **📊 When I write about electricity prices, one of the most common comebacks is a link to some form of LCOE report that says wind and solar are insanely cheap. Let’s break down what it leaves out, and why it misleads on renewables. 🧵
They want you to be afraid Such a self-defeating approach to advocacy
BREAKING: Newly unearthed emails show sitting judges were quietly engaged with climate activists via a private listserv — sharing talking points, updates, and peer mentoring. Serious judicial ethics questions now looming. Full story: foxnews.com/politics/judge… 📩 👇
Environmental groups are now rich. In 2020 (the most recent data available), they collected $8 billion in donations. $8 billion! johnstossel.com/big-green-indu…
Interesting fact from @pwrhungry: Since 2004, about $5.4 trillion has been spent on solar and wind, and yet they are still only providing 3% of the world’s primary energy.

Unreliable energy advocates claim solar panels and battery storage are now able to deliver "baseload" power at a lower cost than coal or nuclear. But we ran the numbers in ERCOT, and solar and storage aren't low cost, they are the most expensive energy out there. A thread:
This "ClimaMeter" flash study on "Texas Floods" is hot garbage. Their methodology is not robust -- and they say so: "For this event we have low confidence in the robustness of our approach" ... their conclusions are unfounded. There is no way to get from their analysis to…
This is simply false: “climate change is making severe disasters more common and more dangerous, according to studies and past warnings from the U.S. government” Flood disasters (& other weather-related) have become markedly less extreme and dangerous over many decades @zcolman
Climate change means last time is not like next time. “The frequency & the severity associated with these types of events all across the country have been substantiated over and over,” ex-FEMA flood insurance chief David Maurstad said. “I don’t know how anybody can ignore that.”
“Any media or other organization suggesting that the National Weather Service was not on top of this event is not only not telling the truth, but doing a deep disservice to the highly professional and skillful folks in that organization” cliffmass.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-te…
Journalists should be embarrassed by this approach to “reporting”

Grotesque misinformation. NWS in Texas had extra staff on duty and did their jobs admirably, as always.
George Stephanopoulos on @ThisWeekABC: “We’re also learning there were significant staffing shortfalls to the National Weather Services offices in the region.”
Accurate.
My first day in Cheyenne, a woman screamed at me at WalMart because she said I wasn't six feet away from her. Yesterday I saw a couple wearing masks at Natural Grocers. We have our share of crazies here too.

This well-researched Kevin Killough article (below) on influencer Lucy Biggers' heartwarming journey from Greta/AOC supporter to climate realist is a fun read. (Lucy will be my podcast guest later this month).
Influencer @LLBiggers spent years promoting the "climate crisis." Now she says it's a scam that undermines gratitude for the abundance of modern life. She's sharing a different message in hopes that young people won't fall into the same misguided outlook she once had.
