California’s refining capacity is collapsing—not because demand has disappeared, but because it is being deliberately dismantled by regulatory fiat. The recent announcement that Valero Energy will idle or shutter its Benicia refinery by 2026 isn’t just a business decision. It’s the calculated result of a hostile policy environment designed to punish traditional energy producers until they either leave the state or fall into government hands.

Using words like ‘must’ and ‘critical’ is just foot-stamping, leading nowhere. Where would all the storage come from in that timescale, or any timescale […]

Climate scientist Michael Mann won $1 million in a defamation lawsuit against writer Mark Steyn. However the damages have been reduced to $5,000 due to false claims by Mann about lost grants. Some extracts from the recent court ruling: It seems Dr Mann has done more damage to his own reputation through this lawsuit, than […]
