Letter: Power plant sale a future-altering decision Poll Do you agree with the city’s decision to collapse certain advisory boards into one, nine-member Community Vibrancy Board? Yes Dear editor, It was with considerable concern to learn, via local media and the letter to News from Ms. Van Dyke, that this city council is seriously considering the sale of the City of Medicine Hat Electrical Generation system. One council member recently said, ‘it would take a long time to get the public...

Yesterday our glorious Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, made his final push for total (clean) dictatorial power. And since Republicans in Congress have lost their courage and their way, he's likely to achieve it. Yesterday the Obama administration unveiled its Communist Clean Power Plan, a plan that illegally violates just about every Constitutional freedom we have left in this country. You see, our Dear Leader believes in the fairy tale of man-made global warming--even though it doesn&#0...

The Trump administration worked for four long, hard years against the radicalism of leftist Democrats to overturn what was called Obama's "Clean Power Plan" (CPP)--an odious and misnamed plan that assassinates coal and mortally wounds natural gas power generating plants (see Obama Stabs Natural Gas Electric Plants in Clean Power Plan). The Trump EPA finally published a replacement called the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule. Yesterday the swamp judges on the U.S. Court of Appeal...

Our favorite government agency, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), is forecasting less power generation from natural gas in 2021, largely as a result of rising fuel costs. EIA says electric power generation by gas-fired plants will decrease by 8% this year. The biggest winner in 2021? Coal-fired generation will expand and produce 14% more electricity this year than it did last year. Renewable sources like solar and wind (two power sources that would be impossible without fossil fu...

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost continues to hammer FirstEnergy Corporation. In November Yost filed a lawsuit to block the collection of $150 million provided for under House Bill (HB) 6, aimed at propping up FirstEnergy's unprofitable nuclear power plants in the state (see OH AG Files 2nd Lawsuit to Block FirstEnergy $150M Nuke Payments). Yost has just filed another lawsuit, this time aimed at preventing a rate hike from going into effect on FirstEnergy customers across the state. HB 6 all...

Ever see a spoiled rotten child, say about two years old, who is told "NO" and proceeds to throw a temper tantrum and drop to the ground and lie there, not moving, pretending to be dead? That's what the scene looked like yesterday in Hartford, Connecticut as a small group of spoiled rotten children (high school and college-age, never really grew up mentally) staged a "die-in" where they flopped themselves on the ground like petulant two-year-olds and stayed there in an e...

Will drive what happens with the navy, with the sailors and how it will make their life possibly a little easier on a ship. >> first of all, anytime you bring a new ship into the navy its a big deal. and you dont get to do that with aircraft carriers very often because it takes so long to build. we dont have that many of them. this is, as you said, an even bigger deal when you have a new aircraft carrier. and this carrier, while its about the same size and look, this ship will be able to do thin...
