The Roth Effect with Carol Roth

A Free Market Approach to Energy

3 COMMENTS
Hosted by Carol Roth

Wayne Winegarden, Ph.D., Senior Fellow of Business and Economics for the Pacific Research Institute joins Carol Roth to discuss a free market approach to energy. He talks about why electric car subsidies help the rich, why overregulation hurts the poor and how Californians could save more than $2,000 a year if lawmakers enacted free market policies. Wayne and Carol talk about California’s rolling blackout problems and why big government is to blame, the big problem with solar energy that nobody is talking about, nuclear power and more.

Plus, a Now You Know segment on the Canary Islands.

Both of the pictures below were taken, with my phone, within 0.6 miles of my front door, within the past week. We are getting a bit of rain and wind, so those leaves will be on the ground soon. But they sure are pretty when they are on the trees. Read More View Post

You might remember from my 1st MAIN FEED post what prompted it. Well, not 15 minutes ago, the city cops were stopping traffic and making people turn around—on the overpass. I’m glad I was driving my 200S, and not the Ram 1500! Just imagine what a semi driver would have to do. The more I’m […]

Today at Toad Hall it has been super windy. My son was able to get a kite up into the air, no mean feat considering our very tree covered property. While the kite was flying, it attracted the attention of an eagle which flew over to check out the competition. In spite of his mother […]

If you are gearing up for Thanksgiving travel, you may want to add a few layers to your suitcase attire. There is an unusually dramatic weather pattern headed from the Plains to the Northeast that will dramatically change the forecast very quickly, beginning this weekend. This could include high winds and possibly, snow. If you […]

March is over, and with it the “Winds’ project. We had 30 entries this month from 29 different contributors. It proved a fascinating array of conversations on different aspects of winds — real to metaphorical. None made the Main Feed this month, but that is okay.  Read More View Post

I’ve debated whether I should share this or not. After all, I didn’t want to scare anyone or add to any burdens that are already being carried. But now that the danger is over, I think it’s ok to let people know what almost happened. We were almost invaded by aliens. Honest, we were. I heard […]

Have you seen the wind? No, not really. No one sees the wind. We see only the things it moves. The leaves sway because the wind has touched them, so we know it is passing our way. The chimes ring and we know they do not ring without being acted upon. We feel the wind’s […]

It’s fascinating to me the way certain musicians and composers can so easily and perfectly evoke the sound and feel of things in nature. Claude Debussy was a master at this, but there were others who could do this, too, without the composition actually being about the natural phenomenon they are evoking. I’m thinking, specifically, […]

Midget Faded Rattlesnake

Bio:  Other rattlesnakes make fun of the Midget Faded Rattlesnake because even though it's a rattlesnake, it's both midget and faded (how embarrassing). Mainly it puts up with this, because it's fairly even-tempered (for a rattlesnake), though it's surprisingly venomous for such an unprepossessing creature. The Midget Faded Rattlesnake hibernates from time to time, but is usually back within a few months.   The M: The M stands for “Moderator”. For more info on what Moderators o… [more]

I have loved using Scholastic News in my classroom. I’ve also taught with The Weekly Reader, or Time for Kids. However, in the last five or six years, I’ve increasingly found myself reading the cover article, and then putting the entire packet of magazines into the recycling bin. Why? Indoctrination, PC, Science-y Nonsense… The latest […]

I cruise through life content most of the time. Occasionally, though, a peculiar convergence of sunshine, azure sky, gentle breeze, and felicitous song will deepen that outlook. For a few savory minutes, the contentedness mellows into a sense of serene pleasure. All the parts of my world have blended into a lovely tune. This happy confluence of elements occurred more than […]

Wind is fickle. Wind comes and goes as it pleases, and seems subject to no laws outside of those crafted by The Great Murphy. Populated areas can go days with still air, and be subjected to gale force winds at other times. Which makes it all the more surprising that people ever thought harnessing wind […]

The wind is rather fascinating as far as natural phenomena go. Sometimes the wind just moves a few dead leaves around and sometimes it takes a few shingles off your roof. When the wind gets it together to actually do something nice for you, that’s called a windfall. Those don’t happen very often. Sometimes you […]
