In City Journal, Mark P. Mills reveals a future for renewable energy…one that depends on oil and natural gas. The narrow-minded “transitionist” rationale, he argues, overlooks the US$5 trillion price tag (in the U.S. alone), the shakeup to industry, mining constraints, the costly overbuild of backup generation, the false analogy of green energy’s scalability, the dubious development of battery storage – and the ultimate impotence of government-imposed “mandates”.
Radical Transgenderism Takes Another Hit
The 11,000-member American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) – which includes hundreds of Canadian members – “has come out unequivocally against ‘gender-affirming’ surgeries in adolescents under age 19,” writes Leor Sapir in City Journal. The ASPS has also joined a growing number of international organizations in warning about the potential physical and psychological damage to children and teens of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
[Editor’s note: Two days after the ASPS’s announcement, the American Medical Association announces it now agrees that gender-altering “surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”]
