**Written by Doug Powers Last spring while visiting Nevada Geothermal Power, Sen. Harry Reid said “this project is exactly the type of initiative we need to ensure Nevada creates good-paying jobs.” Notice Reid didn’t say the geothermal power company was exactly they type of initiative Nevada needed to create power. From the New York Times: [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Last month Democrat Rep. Ed Markey from Massachusetts touted a wonderful side-effect of government regulations: more jobs. The EPA agrees and is trying to run with it more aggressively than ever. From the Daily Caller: The Environmental Protection Agency has said new greenhouse gas regulations, as proposed, may be “absurd” in [...]

**Written by Doug Powers On any given day I’d bet the amount of greenhouse gases Al Gore singlehandedly spews into the atmosphere more than trumps the chlorofluorocarbon footprint of all the epinephrine asthma inhalers in the U.S. combined. That said, since we’ve apparently solved all other major problems, it’s time to save the world from [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Learning that Solyndra investors were placed ahead of taxpayers when it comes to who gets paid back in the event of a loan default wasn’t a big surprise. After all, the auto bailouts were also structured in a way so that the unions were taken care of first with taxpayers stuck [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Nobody in his or her right mind would resign from the prestigious American Physical Society, but that it has happened can now serve as further proof that global warming causes mental illness. From Fox News: Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Given Gore’s enormous level of eco-hypocrisy, it’s possible he’s only opposed because the proposed pipeline wouldn’t run straight to his mansions, limos and private jets. From The Hill: Former Vice President Al Gore called on President Obama late Wednesday to reject a pending permit application for a controversial pipeline project, calling [...]

**Written by Doug Powers During President Obama’s upcoming job speech, if you do a shot whenever you hear the words “invest in clean energy” you’ll be asleep before the teleprompter’s internal cooling fan kicks into action. Not that it was necessary, but here’s yet another reason to be extremely wary of that repeated green clarion [...]

**Written by Doug Powers President Obama promised to present America with his jobs plan after his vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. That was in 2010. This year he said the exact same thing before his vacation on Martha’s Vineyard (an administration that’s gone into reruns after only two and a half years is officially out of [...]

“NOOOOO!”

Thinning the herd?

**Written by Doug Powers Over two months ago, Mitt Romney told a New Hampshire audience, “I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that.” Al Gore offered praise and polar bears rejoiced. At some point between that early June day and now, Romney had a scientific or political [...]

**Written by Doug Powers And you thought the global warming loveseat was crowded before… From NJ.com: In case anyone had any doubts on where Gov. Chris Christie stands on climate change, he made his position crystal clear this afternoon: It’s real and it’s a problem. In vetoing a bill (S2946) that would have required New [...]

**Written by Doug Powers On Saturday I wrote a little about an Al Gore diatribe from a conference in Aspen that was quoted in an article in the Colorado Independent. The partial transcript suggests that Gore is becoming even more frustrated than he was during the Great Dimpled Chad Hunt of 2000. If you missed [...]

“Bulls*#t!”

Is it that hot in here, or are they crazy?
