The Warmth of Collectivism: Statista Forgets the 1987 Gorbachev Machine Tool Campaign (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Statista publishes an interesting regular review of various data trends, the most recent of which is a short discussion by Felix Richter reporting that “China Deploys 59 Percent of the World’s Industrial Robots.” In a year that saw a record number of 603,000 industrial robots installed worldwide, China continued to expand its lead in robotics deployment. . . . [China] installed 354,000 units last year, adding to its already industry-leading operational stock of more than two million units. Havin
An Imminent Fork in the Road: Vertical Integration or Decentralization of the Electric Power Sector (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The economic environment shaping the electricity market has changed substantially in recent years.

The National Academy of Sciences Endorses the Impossible (opens the original)

In a new report, the National Academy of Sciences endorses “extreme event attribution (EEA), a field of climate science that analyzes whether and to what extent human-caused climate change influenced an individual extreme weather or climate event.” This endorsement is based upon purported “expanded observational datasets, large-ensemble simulations, and methodological advancements over the past decade…” This is balderdash, as the NAS itself concluded (p. 29) in 2016: “Event attribution questions
Why American Consumers Will Not and Should Not Abandon Fossil Fuels (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The question before us: “Is the American consumer ready to give up fossil fuels?” Please allow me to change it a bit: “How much more would Americans be willing to pay to shift massively toward such unconventional alternatives as wind and solar power and electric vehicles (EVs) and politically approved appliances in a large-scale transformation away from fossil fuels?” That reformulation of the question incorporates both the quality and cost dimensions of the choices among energy technologies.
