Hello readers. Here are the latest symptoms of Mother Earth's fever... Wildfires in Chile, freezing temps in Vancouver caused breakage of the electrical power cables for buses, wet snow in Juneau sank fishing boats, 85 mph winds at Heathrow (world's busiest) Airport in London. Experts say 2023 warmest year worldwide. The technology for renewable energy sources is advancing very quickly. We live in the wind belt and there are now thermal batteries for the wind turbines. There are increasing numbers of electric powered vehicles. Norway has the highest % in the world. China and now VW have sodium instead of lithium EV batteries, which will be built in a new factory in Ontario. Those same wind turbines can make green hydrogen fuel by hydrolysis and many companies like Cummins are converting their engines to hydrogen fuel. The United States is the largest producer of fossil fuels for export, but the answer for the future is not drill, drill, drill. If we look at the price of fuel here, the cheapest have renewables in them. My home in Pangman is heated with natural gas (methane) which I pay a carbon tax on. Companies whose factories emit CO2 can get a tax credit for sequestering it. For you, opponents of the carbon pipeline, ask yourselves what would be the price of fuel or the price of corn and soybeans, if there were no ethanol or soybean processing plants nearby?

Excavation workers have finished carving out the future home of the gigantic particle detectors for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. Located a mile below the surface, the three colossal caverns are at the core of a new research facility that spans an underground area about the size of eight soccer fields.

Who would have thought the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would play the role of facilitating the erosion, if not destruction, of livestock producers’ private property rights? Very recently, 31 members of Congress, 23 state treasurers, and 25 state attorneys general all stepped to the plate and pushed back on the SEC’s proposal that would have allowed Natural Asset Companies to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Recall that these Natural Asset Companies involved empowering investors to control the use of natural resources on land they did not own, including both private and federally managed lands. Now the New York Stock Exchange has withdrawn its proposal but the SEC’s cavalier attitude toward the importance of private property rights remains at issue.
