CLINE: New England’s Embrace of Nuclear Power Leaves Out a Crucial Step

8 hours 59 min ago

For years, decarbonization was the most fashionable energy policy in New England. With the exception of New Hampshire, New England states made carbon emission reductions their top priority, even if that meant higher prices, slower economic growth and an increased risk of periodic energy shortages.

Wed, 2026-10-07 21:00 +0000

My first reaction to a story about one million dollars in state grants to build EV Charging stations was, “Where’s the grant money to help build gas stations?” Or, more correctly, if we aren’t giving out grants for that- and we don’t, as far as I can tell- then why would we give grants for ...

COLQUHOUN: Ink Link, Partisan Media, and Left-Leaning Opinions

Wed, 2026-10-07 18:00 +0000

Ink Link states that it is “dedicated to being your preferred source for reliable information that moves the community conversation forward, one story at a time.” It also emphasizes that “journalism is essential to an informed and engaged citizenry.” Those are admirable goals.

MACDONALD: Where’s the Outrage?

Tue, 2026-10-06 21:00 +0000

The so-called privacy freaks who refused to cough up voter roll data have been awfully quiet when you’d expect them to be caterwauling. After all, it was your privacy that concerned them.
