NH in center of storm in New England renewable energy battle
by ShawnMillerick

In January, a proposed EPA regulation called the “Tailoring Rule,” designed to target greenhouse gas emitters will include the biomass industry in it’s purview, leveraging a backdoor energy tax that could cost New Hampshire and ultimately the American economy.


Welcome to the Green Economy. Where politics chooses the winners and the losers.

Get excited about recycling? Not me

Unlike commercial and industrial recycling — a thriving voluntary market that annually salvages tens of millions of tons of metal, paper, glass, and plastic — mandatory household recycling is a money loser.

Stop Spending Our Future



Drowning in Debt

Stop U.S. Senate Bill S.1619: The "Dodd Homeowner Control Act"

S.1619 - The Livable Communities Act

Under the guise of "sustainability" the Dodd Homeowner Control Act will create a massive new Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities, likely to be under the control of a "Development Czar."

Such a Czar would be tasked with imposing federal standards on energy, zoning, and housing that line up with the U.N.'s radical environmental agenda.

State and local laws and zoning would be wiped out.
