Energy Matters: Corny Subsidies
We can’t shake the conviction that using actual quantitative analysis – the numbersS – in making energy decisions would help the world along on the road toward making sense. Take for instance nearly everything that’s said about energy policy in opinion pieces in the media. It’s no place for opinion, this energy transition stuff. The […]

Movie Review: The Courier
“The Courier” would have done well to open last month, before the cutoff date to qualify for the Academy Awards.

Now, with the lack of news this time of year and not having anything to write about last week I will try to have a bit this week and possibly go back to the archives in the Church records. Since I haven’t heard from any of you with thoughts on topics you’d like to share […]

Movie Review: Raya and the Last Dragon
“Raya and the Last Dragon” was the first movie I saw in a New York City theater in nearly a year. No testing the waters with small-scale releases for us, we got a major Disney animated feature on the first day theaters were reopened. And I’d like to take this moment to thank the staffs […]
