Advice for Global Climate Summit-goers: Don’t Do What We’re Doing!
Today, thousands are gathering in San Francisco for a so-called “Global Climate Action Summit.” Co-hosted by Gov.

Would California Be Better Off With Part-Time Legislators Rather Than Professional Politicians?
California lawmakers have sent legislation to Gov.

Shutting Down California Energy Production Would Be Foolish
Of the 50 states, only Texas and North Dakota have more proved oil reserves than California. The state should be capitalizing on the riches, shouldn’t it? But, no. That’s not the plan. California politicians want to leave crude in the ground where it doesn’t do anyone any good. And it’s ...
