A brief video suggests there may be something to the theory that Hillary Clinton is dealing with the early stages of Multiple Sclerosis. In a late summer article, the National Enquirer theorized that Clinton might have suffered at least two strokes and be afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) which is a disease that inflicts serious damage to the nervous system. MS scrambles messages sent from one part of the brain to another. Normal functioning can at times become uncontrolled and responses to various day to day situations can become highly emotional, inappropriate and manifest without regard for actual circumstances. While...

A Chemist’s View of Hydraulic Fracturing or ‘Frac[c]ing” Jacki talks with world renowned British scientist, Dr. Andrew Barron, Chairman of the Chemistry Department at Rice University, about the use of chemical additives in the frac[c]ing process, and how these can be employed safely in today’s frac jobs.

Why EPA Plan Should Concern Fixed-Income Americans the Most Nancy Gravatt, Sr. VP of Communications for the American Mining Association, explains why the President’s new agreement with the Chinese to cut carbon emissions will not fulfill its stated mission, and why the EPA’s new regulations will hit hardest on the pocketbooks of fixed-income Americans.

Trailblazers: Reuse of up to 100% of Frac[c]ing Fluids Leaders from a Big Spring, Texas company named Waterstone Resources join Jacki to talk recent developments in water use and water reuse in fracking.

In this two-part interview, Dr. Ireland and Mr. Giovanetti discuss their participation in public debates about the proposed frac[c]ing ban in Denton, TX, interaction with the international press on this issue, and the legal and economic reasons for opposing the proposed ban on hydraulic fracturing or “frac[c]ing.”

What a Frac[c]ing Ban Can Cost a City: Denton, TX as a Case Study Dr. Perryman, widely regarded as one of the world’s most influential and innovative economists, talks with Jacki.

I just finished the strangest, most disconcerting little book. It's called Why Do People Sing?: Music in Human Evolution by Joseph Jordania. If the title hasn't already piqued your interest, its thesis surely will. The thesis is wild, bold, and original, but makes an eerie amount of sense. If true, it would be a revolution — and I don't use the term lightly — in how we understand the evolution of music, cooperation, warfare, and even religion.

How’s this for the headline of a recent front page article in the Washington Post: “A thinning case that fat causes heart ills”? And, this is followed-up the very next day with “Congress questions the science behind dietary guidelines.” It seems to me that the government is finally beginning to walk back the disastrous low-fat dietary recommendations, that originated officially with the McGovern Committee (1977), but also bear the handiwork of physiologist/nutritionist Ancel Keys and rabid anti-fat nutritionist D. Mark Hegsted. Keys is celebrated for his Seven Countries study, which purported to show that saturated fat consumption was a big...

Phelim McAleer, The producer, director and journalist talks with Jacki about his film ‘Fracknation,’ an expose`of claims about frac[c]ing, breast cancer, and water quality.

Dr. Bill Forstchen The United States is now the top energy producer in the world. For that, we are thankful. But all the shale gas, crude oil, coal, nuclear energy and renewables on earth are of little benefit if we do not have a secure means of delivering energy to our homes, our hospitals, schools and even our military. For this reason, we must focus on securing the U.S. electrical grid, the means of delivering our energy, at all costs. Throughout history, literature has played a key role in educating and inspiring the public to “think beyond” to a world...

In Part I, General Jones and Jacki discuss a view of the world as comprised of “energy haves” and “energy have-nots,” energy scarcity as a weapon of war, and what it means for the U.S. to take leadership as the top energy producer. In Part II, General Jones and Jacki discuss the strategic benefits of the Keystone Pipeline, and efforts by foreign energy producers to fund activism against U.S. and European energy production. Finally, the General answers the question: ISIS in Iraq; What’s energy got to do with it?

In Segment 1, Dr. Ireland explains the benefits of lifting the decades-old ban on exporting U.S. crude oil. In Segment 2, Dr. Ireland explains the benefits of building the Keystone XL pipeline.

Mr. Pena advises United LNG, the company with the largest contracts for LNG exports in line for licensing at the Department of Energy. He explains the benefits of exporting natural gas in the form of LNG (liquefied natural gas). LNG exports are expected to create 100,000 jobs and new investment in natural gas production. Mr. Pena explains why consumer prices for electricity can remain high even with a glut of natural gas, and why keeping the resource in the U.S. does not solve this problem. The world is demanding U.S. participation in the natural gas market.

The Universe Never Expands Faster Than the Speed of Light Breaking my radio silence here to get a little nitpick off my chest: the claim that during inflation, the universe “expanded faster than the speed of light.” It’s extraordinarily common, if utterly and hopelessly incorrect. (I just noticed it in this otherwise generally excellent post by Fraser Cain.) A Google search for “inflation superluminal expansion” reveals over 100,000 hits, although happily a few of the first ones are brave attempts to squelch the misconception. I can recommend this nice article by Tamara Davis and Charlie Lineweaver, which tries to address...
