Crony Alert: Jigar Shah at ‘Climate Solutions’ Dinner in Seattle
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 19, 2025Climate Solutions, “accelerating the transition to our clean energy future,” has its annual dinner this Tuesday night. This is your chance to visit with leaders of the Climate Industrial Complex, rich and bossy with a strong desire to pick the pocket of local, state, and national taxpayers.
With billions of DOE dollars held in escrow, Jigar Shah will provide the latest coordinates of where the gold bricks landed that were thrown off the Titanic. No talk title was given, so I’ll suggest one: “Monetizing the Unearned: Podesta/Biden Energy Policy by the Billions.” This refers to the Inflation Reduction Act’s $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, $20 billion of which was rushed out the door with Trump’s electoral victory. Shah was at the controls of the legal looting.
Here is the official announcement:

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 16, 2025“The Progressive Left is being pillared to stop pushing 20 percent issues (80 percent nonsupport). Blackouts might be a 2 percent issue. The working class deserves the Democrat Party to ditch climate alarm and forced energy transformation–for all the right reasons.”
Now that solar itself got the blame for the recent European blackout, what is the argument from the Deep Ecology, anti-modernism cult?
LA-based climate campaigner Michael Mezzatesta, self-described economics and climate educator, has a new one for the climate debate: blackouts are good, bringing us together! He states:
… Continue ReadingThe mainstream economic narrative in the USA would have us believe that power blackouts are always a bad thing – just think of all that lost productivity! Think of the effect on the GDP!
So I was curious to see this video about the recent blackouts in Spain rack up millions of views on Instagram 👇
I think it resonated with people because it points towards a *new* narrative for society and the economy – one where joy & connection are prioritized over economic productivity.
Green Retreat: The Early Trump Effect
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 15, 2025It never should have happened. Politics, magical thinking, and corporate rent-seeking tried to reverse the physics of energy density to transition away from consumer-chosen, taxpayer-neutral hydrocarbons.
After decades of waste, the politics have changed. So much for not-so-green energy in the U.S.
Renewable advocate George Lawrence reported on LinkedIn, quoting Canary Media:
Trump is killing the country’s clean-energy manufacturing momentum.” This is all about momentum indeed, + the few yrs we have to turn things around.
“In the first three months of this year, firms have already abandoned plans to build nearly $8 billion worth of clean energy projects—mostly factories that would have produced everything from grid batteries to electric vehicles, per new data from E2 [consulting engineers].”
This draconian reversal contrasts with the Biden era, where from 2022 to 2024 only a cumulative $2.1 billion in investments was canceled.…
