The Wall Street Journal’s Climate & Energy Column Doesn’t Mince Words
Today’s piece in the WSJ’s Climate and Energy section is called “The Problem With Stuff.”
It begins:
A Glass-Half-Full Look at the Gargantuan Carbon Footprint of Making Stuff
Every year, America gets through roughly 700 pounds of cement, nearly as much steel, 300 pounds of plastic and 25 pounds of aluminum per person. Providing the raw materials of modern life with far less emissions is starting to look tantalizingly possible, but the making-stuff business remains a laggard in its response to climate change.
“Making less stuff” is akin to morphing away from our consumer society, and it’s refreshing to see the WSJ talk about that, even obliquely.

NPR reports: The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in an important environmental case today. It will consider whether to pause a federal rule obligating states to be “good neighbors.” At the heart of the dispute is a provision of the Clean Air Act that

Senior energy analyst Robert Rapier writes: This is what sucking up to Putin and Russia gets you. First, Putin publicly humiliates Tucker Carlson, and now Russian media is laughing at Trump supporters.
Re: the meme here, a reader notes: Too many liberals on the poll taking organization. The same poll taken by a conservative polling group rated Trump higher, fifth from the bottom. I am willing to split the difference and agree that he is second worst.
