This national holiday weekend presents another opportunity to appreciate the labor-saving qualities of energy, the master resource. The utility of affordable, plentiful, reliable energy is not a partisan issue except to a fringe anti-industrial sect (see below).
Note how leading climate alarmists do not question the importance of energy for the masses. “A reliable and affordable supply of energy,” stated John Holdren, Obama’s two-term science advisor, “is absolutely critical to maintaining and expanding economic prosperity where such prosperity already exists and to creating it where it does not.” [1] The father of climate alarmism, James Hansen, has stated:
