What happened when an energy CEO tried to order employee Christmas gifts.

Tired of misleading and hypocritical virtue signalling about “sustainable” business practices? Today let’s celebrate a CEO who decided to challenge trendy corporate wisdom about fossil fuels and explain the virtues of low-cost energy. Four months after publishing a few truths that are highly inconvenient to the environmental lobby, Innovex Downhole Solutions CEO Adam Anderson says that “the reaction has been overwhelming.”

The energy services entrepreneur appeared this morning on the Fox Business Network with Maria Bartiromo (co-author of a book with your humble correspondent) and reported that his message has been resonating with people inside and outside his industry. “I’m very passionate about the oil and gas business and the good—the virtue of the business—and how it helps human prosperity and flourishing around the world,” he said.

The story began last year when Mr. Anderson wanted to get each of his roughly 400 employees a nice Christmas gift at the end of a very tough 2020. He settled on the idea of some high-quality outdoor apparel, customized with the logo of his Houston-based oilfield services company. But the potential vendor wasn’t as enthusiastic.

P.T. Barnum once said, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity,” which is almost as good as Oscar Wilde’s version, who put it like this: “There’s only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”

Both men could turn a phrase, and both men had a point.

With Discovery premiering Six Degrees this Sunday at 10 PM, you’d think that any surrounding press would be a good thing.

But neither Barnum or Wilde lived in these extraordinary times, where anyone can post anything from anywhere, and reach millions of people anytime. Many of you have called the attached article to my attention, along with a very misleading headline I would have ignored, once upon a time, but cannot, in this day and age.

Here’s a link to the original article, if you’re interested. https://bit.ly/3wNrkGc

Or, if you prefer, you can scroll down and enjoy the same copy, along with my gentle attempts to set the record straight.

Either way, better strap in. This one’s a doozy…

“Roman Forum, Latin Forum Romanum, most important forum in ancient Rome, situated on low ground between the Palatine and Capitoline hills. The Roman Forum was the scene of public meetings, law courts, and gladiatorial combats in republican times and was lined with shops and open-air markets. Under the empire, when it primarily became a centre for religious and secular spectacles and ceremonies, it was the site of many of the city’s most imposing temples and monuments.”

Here are the new gas and road-usage fees behind Colorado Democrats’ $4 billion transportation plan

The new fees would start in July 2022 to pay for infrastructure projects, efforts to improve air quality and public transportation initiatives

Colorado drivers would begin paying a new fee of 2 cents on every gallon of gas they purchase starting in July 2022 under legislation Democratic state lawmakers are expected to introduce in the coming weeks.

That fee, which would not require voter approval, would increase to 8 cents per gallon starting in July 2028 under the proposal, which is part of a $4 billion, 11-year effort to raise and spend money for badly needed transportation projects across the state.

Lawmakers, political groups and business interests have been trying for years, without much luck, to find a transportation funding solution. The proposal, which includes a number of other new road-usage fees, is backed by Gov. Jared Polis and also aims to reduce traffic congestion on Colorado’s roads, expand public transportation and improve air quality by making it easier for people to own electric vehicles and spending millions on environmental initiatives.

“We think this is the time that we absolutely have to get something done and something meaningful,” said Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat. “Not a baby step, but a real meaningful step toward solving the transportation problems that we have in our state.”

Governor Polis’ meat-less proclamation prompts meat-full celebrations statewide

March 17, 2021 By Sherrie Peif

Over the last three weeks, nearly 9,000 frustrated Coloradans of all political stripes have taken to social media to express their thoughts over a proclamation by Gov. Jared Polis declaring March 20 as “MeatOut” day. Read more …
Union Workers Response To Candidate Joe Biden, Who Trhreatened Him With AR-14 Confiscation, Is Perfect

Joe Biden threatened to take this union worker’s “AR-14” in a train wreck of a viral video. That union worker’s name is Jerry Wayne and one day after the interaction, he went out and got an “AR-14” in honor of Joe. This is his message to America:
This Blizzard Exposes The Perils Of Attempting To ‘Electrify Everything’

It’s clear that we still need Colorado oil and gas. “This blizzard proves that during extreme weather winter, solar panels and wind turbines are of little or no value to the electric grid.”

Energy

I write about energy, power, innovation, and politics.

This blizzard proves that we have not been taking our energy security seriously enough. The concept of energy security has many aspects. But the most fundamental one is that we all have enough reliable and affordable energy (of whatever type) so that we don’t freeze to death during cold spells like the one now wreaking havoc across the continent 30 January 2021, snow lies on a photovoltaic system on a private house roof.

The massive blast of Siberia-like cold that is wreaking havoc across North America is proving that if we humans want to keep surviving frigid winters, we are going to have to keep burning natural gas — and lots of it — for decades to come.

That cold reality contradicts the “electrify everything” scenario that’s being promoted by climate change activists, politicians, and academics. They claim that to avert the possibility of catastrophic climate change, we must stop burning hydrocarbons and convert all of our transportation, residential, commercial, and industrial systems so that they are powered solely on electricity, with most of that juice coming, of course, from forests of wind turbines and oceans of solar panels.

But attempting to electrify everything would concentrate our energy risks on an electricity grid that is already breaking under the surge in demand caused by the crazy cold weather. Across America, countless people don’t have electricity. I’m one of them. Our power here in central Austin went out at about 3 am. I am writing this under a blanket, have multiple layers of clothes on, and am nervously watching my laptop’s battery indicator.

The new NSRF is back!!!!

Well, we were planning to, but the Tri-County Health Department (http://www.tchd.org/), whose mantra is “Bigger government control over your life is our goal,” using their 1984 playbook has decreed that our meeting is “null and void.” So, until we figure out a way to beat the system, probably with online video meetings, you have our permission to sleep in, or go protest, or sign a recall petition, or do something to irritate the party who values control over everything else. Stay tuned….

The first 2021 meeting of “the New Forum” is scheduled for this upcoming Saturday morning, February 13, from 9:00am-11:00am.

We have a NEW LOCATION!

The meeting will be held at the Americans for Prosperity Office, 1305 West 121st Avenue , in Westminster. It’s located at the northwest corner of Mariposa & 121^st. See the maps below.
