Risky Reliance: The US's Dependence on China for Rare Earth Minerals

 

Risky Reliance: The US's Dependence on China for Rare Earth Minerals: A Chinese warship's aggression against a U.S. Navy vessel last month makes questionable the wisdom of American dependency on China for 71% of America's rare earth minerals (REM). According to a recent U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) summary report, the U.S. produces only 24% of the REMs needed to produce many American manufacturing necessities. Rare earth minerals are necessary for agriculture fertilizers, high-tech and green energy products, oil-refining processes, and military equipment.

Germany's green transition has hit a brick wall - CFACT

 

Germany's green transition has hit a brick wall - CFACT:

More people are
finally beginning to realize that supplying the world with sufficient,
stable energy solely from sun and wind power will be impossible.


Germany
took on that challenge, to show the world how to build a society based
entirely on “green, renewable” energy. It has now hit a brick wall.
Despite huge investments in wind, solar and biofuel energy production
capacity, Germany has not reduced CO2 emissions over the last ten years.
However, during the same period, its electricity prices have risen
dramatically, significantly impacting factories, employment and poor
families.

Farewell to Syria

 

Farewell to Syria: Trump is right in his decision to pull the U.S. forces out of Syria. Hopefully, he will soon follow with Afghanistan. For too long, the wars there have played a disproportionate role in U.S. foreign policy. Many American lives have been lost to little purpose, and heaven only knows how many of trillions of dollars have been wasted. Instead of squandering our forces in Middle Eastern quagmires and the barren mountains of Afghanistan, America's military attention needs to be on China, a country that is a true threat to U.S. national interest.

The war on Christmas, and Thanksgiving, and Columbus Day, and...

 

The war on Christmas, and Thanksgiving, and Columbus Day, and...: The truth of the matter is that leftists do not really hate Halloween, or Columbus Day, or Thanksgiving Day per se. The attacks on the holidays are just the tip of the iceberg. Saturated with hatred, deep down, their real hate is for the country, the society that they live in; the holidays and the anthem are just manifestations of America (or Canada). They are addicted – yes, addicted – to hate. That is one of the characteristics of a liberal personality.

Texas city featured in Al Gore film lost millions in green energy investments

 

Texas city featured in Al Gore film lost millions in green energy investments: As usual, the promise of solar energy never quite pans out.



A
green energy scheme to supply a small town in Texas with 100% of its
electrical needs via cheap solar and wind power is, instead, costing the
city almost $7 million.



Georgetown, Texas was featured in the sequel to Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth
as the "future" of American power generation.  But falling fossil fuel
prices are making the scheme ruinously expensive for the town.

The Corrupt Vote Harvest in Orange CountyThe American Spectator

 

The Corrupt Vote Harvest in Orange CountyThe American Spectator: Why ballot harvesting must be made illegal.

Unlike Stacey Abrams, the Democrat sore loser in Georgia; Bill Nelson, the Democrat sore loser in Florida; Hillary Clinton and her Year 2016 Democrat sore losers; and Al Gore and his Year 2000 Democrat sore losers, I accept that the Democrats have obtained the House seats they flipped in Orange County and elsewhere in California after tons of come-from-behind votes were tallied many days after Election Day. This article therefore looks ahead to infinity and beyond. In particular, all fifty states rapidly must act to ban ballot harvesting.
