It sounds like something a Bond villain would think up. A startup wants to put giant mirrors into space to reflect sunlight back toward the Earth at night. Why would someone want to do this? To disturb the sleep of everyone on the “dark side” of the planet? No, but that would happen. To help plants grow faster and feed more people? Nope. It’s to keep giant solar power installations going after the sun goes down. This is a stupid, harmful idea, and we will explain why.

No one wants plastic trash strewn about. But we don’t need another bloated UN program to handle it by orchestrating top-down controls, market distortions, and endless funding streams. Real solutions start with better civics education, policing of bad behavior and local infrastructure where the problems actually originate — not global agendas that sidestep these hard truths.

Households are already £800 worse off a year as a result of Net Zero policies on electricity costs, whether directly via energy bills or indirectly via higher taxes and prices. Based on NESO/OFGEM figures, that figure will likely double in the next few years. Being forced to buy a heat pump will add another £1000 a year to household costs, including loan interest. And with EVs still costing thousands more than petrol cars, they will be unaffordable for many. You don’t need a fancy analysi

Yet, as the Barclays analysts point out, the real risks now lurk in the renewable sector. “Stranded-asset risk is becoming system wide,” the paper warns. “Historically, stranding meant coal plants.

So while I learned a lot about black vultures and double-crested cormorants, I heard nothing about much-needed legislation to protect birds from being slaughtered by wind turbines.

California is steadily dismantling the fuel infrastructure that keeps its economy running. At the same time, demand for that fuel remains enormous. That mismatch is now reaching a point where the companies actually producing the fuel are beginning to issue increasingly blunt warnings.

While in 1990 one-third of Europe’s energy came from nuclear, today it’s only close to 15%. This reduction in the share of nuclear was a choice. And in hindsight, it was as strategic mistake for Europe to turn its back on a reliable, affordable source of low-emission power. This should change. … Nuclear energy is reliable, providing electricity all year around the clock. … Europe has been a pioneer in nuclear technology and could once against lead the world in it.

The huge growth of U.S. natural gas production and renewable energy together helps insulate consumers from global volatility and price increases today. But it also offers the opportunity through permitting reform to greatly lower consumer prices in the long-term, despite pressures from big tech’s AI data centers and President Trump’s military adventurism. Any Republican or Democrat who prevents permitting reform this year faces an increased chance of defeat in November from voters who are in

If CBS is choosing to prioritize balance over saturation, evidence over narrative coordination, and editorial autonomy over activist alignment, that is not something to lament. It is something to be applauded.

For much of humanity’s existence, our traditional worldview or cosmos was based on sacred, reciprocal relationships with the land and governed by natural seasons and localised community rhythms.

The War in Iran is already pushing The Great Reset agenda forward, as every major narrative seems to do.

What IS clear is that …
