"Nature is very good at producing bad weather. You can't blame every flood or fire on fossil fuels."

Words of wisdom . . .

Not every one. But how many will be the indirect consequence of using fossil fuels?...

It is also news to me too. I am against subsidies of any kind. Let the market decide which energy is cheaper. Don't waste taxpayers' money on subsidizing either coal or green energy. Let them compete and the cheaper energy prevail. When you add all the costs of climate upsets - from floods to bush ...

For most people in Europe WW I was as long ago as the Middle Ages, and even WW II was too long ago to matter anymore. Europe must look ahead, not backwards. If anybody expects Europeans to remain grateful for anything Americans, British or Canadians did in 1939-1945, just forget it. Future relations...

My figures related to electricity, not to energy as a whole. In 2015 Portugal's electricity consumption was 46,853 GWh, and production by renewable sources was 25,511 GWh (54.4% of the total consumption). If we talk about total energy dependence, in 2015 Portugal was 78.3% dependent from foreign so...

I used to share that point of view, but now I feel that Trump - or his mob in the Administration - is more likely to start a major war than Hillary ever would. I would not be so sure about that. I do know that the US system of selecting candidates for election to president seem to come up with some...

Russia Grinds Out Wins in Europe by Tom Luongo - May 19, 2019 Europe is finally coming to its senses five years after the coup in Kiev started what is now the new Cold War between Russia and the West. The first part of Russia’s win comes from Italian leader Matteo Salvini. Speaking for the under-re...

What the future holds? Unknown, but I'll always consider the belligerent manchild's greatest accomplishment was to deny the presidency to Hillary and the corrupt Clinton machine.
