Green Hydrogen in California

May 15, 2025/by Edward Ring

Last week I received an email from a representative of a company planning to build a large scale green hydrogen production facility in California. In reviewing the details announced in this email, which was almost certainly sent to other analysts and journalists, I saw an opportunity to take another look at the challenges facing any […]

In Search of Authentic Abundance

May 14, 2025/by Edward Ring

A fawning article in Politico published on 3/27 touts the “Abundance Movement” as a new focal point for leftist Democrats who are finally willing to admit that everything they’ve done has failed. What better way to deflect criticism than by adopting a concept that is directly opposite to the Democrats’ legacy of scarcity in all things? Scarcity of […]

Saving California’s Rural Water Users

May 8, 2025/by Edward Ring

Despite its status as an agricultural superpower, eclipsing every other U.S. state in farm output, California’s farming sector wields relatively little influence in Sacramento. When you evaluate the state’s GDP components, the sectors that dominate are financial, IT, and services, at around a half-trillion each, followed by manufacturing and government at around $400 billion and $300 […]

Principles of New Environmentalism

May 7, 2025/by Edward Ring

Last month, in recognition of the annual celebration of Earth Day, it seemed appropriate to compile a list of ten common myths that constitute the major premises of modern environmentalism. That list, along with explanations of why each of these premises is unfounded and counterproductive, can be summarized as follows: 1 – There is no climate crisis. […]

The Boomer Apocalypse

April 30, 2025/by Edward Ring

It’s not exactly clear when the term “boomer” became a pejorative, but it’s fairly recent. Once upon a time, there was respect for elders. Today, despite their impending mortality, they must be held in contempt. Now, a new book takes boomer derision to a whole new level. “A Generation of Sociopaths—How the Baby Boomers Betrayed […]
