Experts agree the tide has turned in nuclear power’s favor, but obstacles remain

The most far-reaching international agreement ever must get Senate advice, consent and vote

California’s high cost of electricity is already fifty percent higher than the national average for residents

The world keeps adding natural gas and nuclear power plants to provide continuous uninterruptable electricity while California is eliminating natural gas and nuclear and relying on wind and solar

If you’re going to replace fossil fuels, the alternative must be compelling.

CPP, the centerpiece of the Obama administration’s climate change agenda, forced the premature closure of dozens of coal-fired power plants and deserved to be eliminated.

John and Donny continue their weekly exploration of think tanks across the country in episode #52 of the In The Tank Podcast. Today’s podcast features work from the Nevada Research Institute, the Cato Institute, the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity, and The Heartland Institute.

In this episode of The Heartland Institute’s weekly Budget & Tax News podcast, research fellow and managing editor Jesse Hathaway talks with Dan Johnson, executive director of the Tax Revolution Institute, a national think tank rolling out a new project to “Audit the IRS” and shine light and transparency on one of the most secretive and powerful federal government agencies, the Internal Revenue Service.

Democratic operatives responsible for writing their party’s platform unanimously adopted a provision calling for the Department of Justice to investigate companies that disagree with Democrats on global warming science.

Heck, the GOP has contributed to its growth almost as much as have the Democrats.

In today’s edition of The Heartland Daily Podcast, Heartland Science Director Jay Lehr joins Managing Editor of Environment & Climate News H. Sterling Burnett to talk about the Alternative Energy and Shale Gas Encyclopedia.
