May your holidays be merry and bright!
Institute for Energy Research (12/23/19) blog: "Never has there been a better time to enliven darkness with celebratory holiday lighting. Nationally and globally, the human condition is improving. And great progress has been made with each of the most affordable, plentiful, reliable energies to meet present and future needs: natural gas, oil, and coal. These are the dense energies, the mineral energies formed over the ages, which consumers voluntary choose and which require no taxpayer subsidy...The climate nannies at the New York Times, while urging less consumption of meat and many other lifestyle alterations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, recommend being 'smart' about holiday lights. Replace your incandescent bulbs with LED ones. Turn off the lights after midnight. And 'promptly' take them down 'when the holidays are over.' Instead, how about a 'thank you' and encouragement of holiday lighting? The displays can be left on for the whole night—and up into the New Year. Here’s to ever greater holiday celebrations in the years ahead in the energy superpower, the United States of America, and around the world."
