Aldyen Donnelly: Quota allocation schemes: the leaded gasoline example
Question: If Canada stopped selling leaded gas in 1986, and stopped making leaded gas in 1989—what happened in the intervening years when access to the US market was restricted? Why would our refiners eat the 30% premium to enter the US market? Is it just because they had to exhaust their leaded gas capital, or is there another story here? Continue reading

Aldyen Donnelly: Residential electricity users will finance any cap-and-trade or feed-in tariff scheme
I have pointed out, previously, that every nation that relies heavily on carbon taxes and/or feed-in tariffs as GHG mitigation/climate change measures has ended up delivering massive and continuing green subsidies to industry—while passing more than 100% of the incremental cost of carbon taxes, cap-and-trade compliance costs and Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) to their residential customer bases.

Al Gore’s global warming claims aren’t fooling Americans

Global warming: a theoretical fact
(March 5, 2010) The concept of manmade global warming – the idea that global temperature is increasing as a result of the green house effect from pollutants like CO2 that come from the industrialization of society – has become widely known. Continue reading

Aldyen Donnelly: Is it a “fact” just because a tenured professor says it is?
Dr. Jaccard said: "When the price of oil fell in the 1960s…"
Neither the nominal nor the inflation-adjusted price of oil changed much during the 1960s—at least compared to other decades. After a significant post-WW II hike, the inflation-adjusted price of oil fell during the 1950s and did not really change much until 1974, when the price went through the roof.
