European Net Zero achieved two things: 1. Deindustrialization in Europe due to high energy costs, many well-paid jobs lost. 2. The same products come now from Asia, but with higher emissions to build and ship. Cars, for example, cause 70% more emissions. Isn’t that genius?

🚨Energy Transitions are happening - just not the ones promised by the climate alarm activist/media complex. My new piece at Substack tells the story. Link in the next post. The so-called “energy transition” sold by activists, media, and politicians for years is a marketing fantasy. What’s actually unfolding in 2026 looks nothing like the wind-solar-EV utopia they promised. Real transitions are happening, and they’re driven by policy failure, market reality, and the stubborn dominance of reliable energy. Here are the highlights: • BP is putting its entire North Sea oil and gas business up for sale after more than 60 years. New CEO Meg O’Neill’s polite line that the assets will “be better positioned as part of another company” is corporate-speak for “the UK made this basin toxic.” • Punitive windfall taxes, the Energy Profits Levy, and successive governments’ determination to throttle domestic production in the name of net zero have driven one of the world’s largest energy companies out of the basin it helped build. That’s not resource depletion or market forces - it's deliberate self-sabotage. • Britain’s former industrial strength is being dismantled by ideology. When a major operator walks away from a core producing region, the transition is real. It’s just not the green one the climate industrial complex celebrates. • Meanwhile, global demand for oil, gas, and coal keeps growing. Energy addition, not substitution, is the actual story. Subsidized intermittent sources are layered on top of the system, not replacing it at scale. The same dynamic is happening throughout the Western world. • Net-zero timelines are slipping or being abandoned as capital, minerals, and physics refuse to cooperate. The real transition underway is governments rediscovering that energy security and affordability still matter more than slogans. The climate alarm activist/media complex promised a rapid, inevitable shift away from hydrocarbons. Reality is delivering the opposite: policy-driven retreats from domestic production in the West while the rest of the world keeps burning more fossil fuels. That’s the transition that is actually happening.

🤣 LMAO! Q: If you got 1 full week off and nobody had access to you, what would you do? SEC. MARCO RUBIO: "My wife's gonna hate this answer. I'd love to sit down and watch every college football game from noon eastern until the west coast games end at 2AM eastern."


🚨 Lost In The Iran Noise: American Energy Leadership Still Matters - my new op/ed at the @DailyCaller tells the story. The breathless coverage of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz is drowning out a critical fact: record U.S. oil and natural gas production has kept a historic supply disruption from becoming a far worse price shock. American energy leadership still matters, and if we want it to keep mattering, we need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot. Oil prices can spike on a tweet or missile launch. Tankers, pipelines, and trucks move in weeks. That’s reality, not “price gouging.” • New England still lacks adequate natural gas pipeline capacity thanks to New York’s roadblocks. • West Texas and Appalachia face ongoing takeaway constraints even as the Permian and Marcellus set records. • California is steadily losing refining capacity under a regulatory climate that treats energy infrastructure like the enemy. Producing more energy is only half the job. Without serious infrastructure investment and genuine permitting reform, abundance never reaches consumers efficiently. Yet some politicians are dusting off the same failed “solutions," like windfall profits taxes and export bans. These are the policy equivalent of pouring sand in the gearbox. They deliver less investment, less production, more volatility, and higher prices. Capital is not patriotic. Punish producers and they invest elsewhere, handing more of the market to OPEC. The shale revolution wasn’t designed in a Washington committee room. It was built by engineers, roughnecks, and risk-taking capital. That same system is buffering American consumers from the full force of Middle East turmoil right now. American energy leadership still matters, perhaps more than ever. The physical market doesn’t care about virtue signaling. It only cares about supply, infrastructure, and the ability to move molecules where they’re needed. Everything else is just noise.

MTV launched on August 1st, 1981🎩🪄 And music television was never the same. Here are the first 10 minutes of that iconic debut, the moment that changed music, pop culture, and a generation forever. Ladies and gentlemen... the beginning of MTV! 45 Years Ago Today😍😍😍

Want cheaper gas and true energy independence? BUILD LIGHT SWEET CRUDE REFINERIES IN AMERICA. For decades, the government's hostility towards fossil fuels has scared everyone away from building the refineries we need to make our own 100% AMERICAN gasoline. Thankfully, @SecretaryWright tells me that under Trump, the U.S. is building its first new oil refinery in over half a century, exactly for this: “We do have a new light sweet crude refinery planned to be built in South Texas… But it does take a few years to build, so it won't impact gasoline or diesel prices in the near term. But it's a hugely positive message to the market that a new refinery is coming, tuned exactly for the kind of crude we're producing in South Texas." KEEP IT COMING! DRILL BABY DRILL! AND BUILD BABY BUILD!


Rich World Net Zero has a tiny impact Even if the US, EU, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, and the rest of the rich world go Net Zero by 2050 it will only reduce global temperatures by 0.10°C (0.18°F) in 2100 Still, it will cost $100s of trillions data.ene.iiasa.ac.at/ngfs, live.magicc.org, worldscientific.com/doi/10.1142/S2…




Chevron just posted $12 billion in profit. Up 400% in a year. Their biggest quarter ever. Exxon made $14.5 billion. You paid for all of it at the pump. Say what you want about Trump. He’s making something great again. And who’s more deserving than Big Oil. In 2024 he asked them for a billion dollars and promised their whole wish list in return. This morning they collected.

@US_OGA This is interesting coming from someone who also never worked a day in the oil and gas industry. (The guy who runs the USOGA)
