I’m a conservative and I love nature, believe it or not. How about that?
The president said the bill will spark a “clean energy transformation” of the U.S. economy and “make possible the creation of millions of new jobs.”
“Make no mistake,” he emphasized. “This is a jobs bill.”
So claimed President Obama in an appearance today in the Rose Garden. Technically, the claim is true. If the government funds so-called “clean energy”…
Thanks to Eran for first publishing this. This address was given April 2, 2009 by Keith O. Rattie, Chairman, President and CEO of Questar Corporation, at Utah Valley University. It’s available on the Questar website in PDF form, which is part of the reason why I’m posting the text version here. I’m not a big…
Gore is advocating “civil disobedience” against coal plants. “Clean coal” may indeed not exist, but “cleaner coal” certainly does. And yet Gore is against Duke Energy building a new, cleaner plant in North Carolina that will replace four aging plants. “Overall, sulfur dioxide emissions will fall by 80% a year, nitrogen oxide by 50%, and the entire project is carbon…
Once again, somebody tries to do something to help the environment and ends up making things worse. This time it’s ethanol, again. Apparently the increase in fertilizers used by corn farmers to grow increased amounts of corn to fuel the ethanol craze has resulted in increase runoff of those fertilizers into the Gulf of Mexico which has created…
In addition to being an entrepreneur and wildly successful political blogger (I think at this point as many as two people are reading this blog, and I’m one of them), I’m also a skateboarder, and one of my favorite professional skateboarders is Steve Berra, who also runs one of my favorite skateboarder blogs. Every week or so Steve…
It seems that many people who believe in global warming and that the cure is taxing carbon emissions and investing in alternative energies often make the claim “It will create jobs!” Yes, but it’s one thing for one company to create jobs and another thing for there to be net job growth, or more jobs created than jobs lost. Another…
I think there are four types of environmentalists. The first kind are the normal people who like nature. They go hiking, they like to be outdoors, they think trees and lakes and animals are nice to look at and that fresh air is good for you. The second kind are the people who love nature so freakin’ much that they…
Let’s suppose that you stood to make a ton of money if you could get people to believe in man-made global warming, and the more people you could get to buy into it, the more money you would make? How far would you go to convince people that global warming exists and is man-made? Maybe you’d start by blaming one…
Answer these two questions:
1. Do you believe that man-made global warming poses a threat to the planet and that action must be taken immediately?
2. Do you believe gay marriage is a good thing and should be legal everywhere?
If you answered “yes” to both questions then you’re either ignorant or a hypocrite. There is little to no credible,…
Some people think man-made global warming is going to kill us all and destroy the planet within 10 years. Some people think the entire idea of man-made global warming is a hoax. Does this mean we’re at an impasse and nothing can happen? Far from it, but the politicians set us up against each other in order to get votes.…
