Here is some information about hurricane Michael you westerners never get to witness.

Many climate alarmist claim 97 percent or more climate scientists state carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels is causing global warming

The result of President Trump’s actions is to lead our country to great economic wealth instead of economic stagnation.

Policies on developing renewable energy resources, in particular during the Obama Administration, have led to waste of billions of tax dollars.

Georgia has a one-hundred mile Atlantic sea coast protected by a series of barrier islands called the Golden Isles. A marvelous one-hour documentary about the Golden Isles during World War II is described by the following narrative.

The 1940’s members of the RESISTANCE will be hailed as heroes for eternity. The new Progressive’s RESISTANCE will be judged as bullies in the future.

Energy has long lost media attention; so we no longer think about ways we use energy and its effect on national policy or our pocketbooks. However, problems of energy supply we deemed a crisis in the 1970’s are still with us. U. S. warships still protect Persian Gulf supply of Middle East oil which accounts for one-quarter world’s oil production.

There are many disadvantages to solar energy because it is unavailable most of the day—availability is expressed as capacity factor defined as the fraction of total annual solar energy produced compared to a facility operating 24-hours daily, 365 days per year. Capacity factors of solar plants in Southwest desert areas are 0.19 compared to capacity factors of 0.9 or greater for nuclear and fossil-fueled electricity plants.

The Department of Energy announced state revenue from severance taxes dropped as the price of crude oil falls below $30 per bushel. The following charts show tax revenue for 6 states.

Campaigning in San Francisco during the Democrat Party primaries in January 2008, Presidential Candidate Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board, “So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” Carbon dioxide from burning coal, and other fossil fuels, is falsely claimed to cause catastrophic climate change (global warming).

On October 5, 2009, President Obama issued an executive order, FEDERAL LEADERSHIP IN ENVIRONMENTAL, ENERGY, AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE, that showed his policies toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions for the rest of his term in office. The executive order is 15 pages, divided into 20 sections that provide strict guidance for all agencies in the executive branch and their interactions with outside organizations. Portions of the executive order follows (numerous words run together in the document are left in place):

Quite a few GOP 2016 presidential candidates have responded “I am not a scientist” which may come back to haunt them in the future. This GOP response is unsatisfactory because political candidates should be aware of important issues. In particular about climate change; where the Democrat Party’s response is overturning our entire energy supply system by abandoning our abundant, inexpensive, and geographically distributed fossil fuels of coal, oil, and natural gas. The U. S. is the most blessed nation on the planet with abundant fossil fuels.
