Climate Report an
embarrassing joke
"The Obama administration hired a PR firm
to embellish the past scaremongering generated exclusively from
virtual climate computer models."
Green
transit no cleaner than driving SUV's
A saloon (sedan) car or even an 4x4 that is
fully occupied may be responsible for less greenhouse gas per
kilometer travelled per person than a suburban train that is
a quarter full, the researchers calculate.
The
Climate-Industrial Complex
"Some business leaders are cozying up with
politicians and scientists to demand swift, drastic action on
global warming. This is a new twist on a very old practice:
companies using public policy to line their own pockets"
Like GE
Clean
Energy's Dirty Little Secret "Hybrid cars and wind turbines need
rare-earth minerals that come with their own hefty environmental
price tag"
Green
ideas must take blame for deaths
"So many people need not have died so horribly.
The warnings have been there for a decade. If politicians are
intent on whipping up a lynch mob to divert attention from their
own culpability, it is not arsonists who should be hanging from
lamp-posts but greenies."
Alaska
witholds "Alaska Climate Change Sub-Cabinet" documents
"..it's pretty odd that the State of Alaska
could withhold documents from the public about a commission
that will go a long way towards influencing its policies on
energy, environment, property rights, taxes, the state budget,
land use, education, and just about every other public policy
area."
Transit
spending just more wasteful pork
"..both transit and urban rail had been
grossly oversold. It has not, anywhere, materially or sustainably
reduced traffic congestion. Its cost structure is so out of
control that the average mile traveled by a passenger in the
United States has risen to about four times as much.. as every
mile traveled by car."
Britain
set to shelve land use planning regs in favor of homes
"The government has concluded that protecting
the environment should no longer be the overriding consideration
when decisions are made about whether to allow development in
areas where locals are struggling to afford homes."
"Smart
Growth" Planning Bullies
"..planners view the community as theirs
to order about, as a playground for their own experiments, following
their agenda instead of making it possible, as honest public
servants in a free society should, for the citizenry to carry
out its highly diverse peaceful objectives."

Wind
energy company facing federal fraud charges
"..a pioneer of Minnesota's wind-energy
industry, has been charged by federal authorities for allegedly
defrauding Xcel Energy and the state of Minnesota by overstating
the amount of power being produced by wind generators he operated."
