How NOT to Have Electricity
 GreeenIsm 
Alan Caruba
Electricity is so commonplace that no one gives any thought to not having access to it. Few give any consideration to how it is generated, but we are now being inundated with the most virulent nonsense about how wind or solar power is “clean” and practically “free.” Every week there’s some new proposal to cover the nation with wind farms and solar panels.

A Great Lakes Eco ‘Catastrophe’ That ISN’T
GreeenIsm
Warner Todd Huston
The Chicago Tribune posted a story(1) in the July 30 edition that highlights the often absurd hyperbole all too common in the language of environmentalists and eco-watchers. The story detailed the findings of scientists studying Lake Michigan and the ecology of the Great Lakes, one of them saying it is in “catastrophic” shape. Native fish and vegetation are being crowded out by new species and the “Great Lakes are at a tipping point” the Trib warns. It’s all presented as some major disaster that should alarm us all, as if Mother Nature is being ruined, presumably by man.

The High Cost of Ethanol Subsidies

OffSite
An Indian government official recently criticized the Bush administration for blaming the growing middle classes of developing countries, such as India and China, for rising food prices. Although he may have misinterpreted the president’s remarks, his and other Indian critics’ responses are worth thinking about. They argue that the United States is the real culprit behind high food prices. Has the United States played an important role in contributing to rising food prices and, if so, what should be done to correct the problem?

A World Afloat on an Ocean of Oil

Alan Caruba
Considering how much untapped oil is known to exist, not just in the United States, but worldwide, one would think that its current price was some kind of anomaly and it is. It is more the result of speculation than anything else.

The New Communism

Cliff Kincaid
Americans are searching for leadership in this election year and they have found it. Unfortunately, he is not an American politician. Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, who survived the communist system and now leads a country that emerged from the dissolution of the Soviet empire, is warning of a new form of communism threatening human freedom and progress.

The dirty secret of the environmental movement is how indifferent it can be to the poor.

Pompous elitist Senators again tried to blame the energy fiasco on everybody but themselves. It was wasn’t taken lying down.

Then They Asked Me…’What Would You Do Bigmouth?’

Tom Segel
Harlingen, Texas, May 21, 2008: Last week I took every American voter to task, saying that we all were to blame for our current high gasoline prices at the pumps and our national energy mess. My claim was we voted into office Republicans who had a chance to correct many of these problems. They squandered their opportunity with a multitude of scandals, misconduct, pork barrel spending and abandonment of conservative principles. Those who voted Democrats into office were on an emotional and “feel good” voting spree that pandered to the far left, environmental extremists, animal rights activists and socialists determined to beat America back into the Stone Age. The end result of these actions has been an explosion of oil and gas prices that are now reaching the point where major damage is being inflicted on all citizenry.

Saving Arctic Plant Species from Climate Change

Dennis T. Avery
The Norwegian government is building its high-tech new Global Seed Vault on the Arctic island of Svalbard to protect the world’s plant varieties in case of global climate change. Meanwhile, outside the Svalbard vault, the island’s own hardy Arctic plants are demonstrating that Mother Nature knows how to keep her species alive through natural adaptation to the earth’s naturally radical climate cycling.

High Oil Prices - Blame The Government You Elected!

Thomas D. Segel
Harlingen, Texas, April 28, 2008: Yesterday I topped off my tank at $3.49.9 a gallon. But, I am lucky. My home is in one of the lowest cost-of-living regions of the country. In California, for example, my brother filled up his tank again at $3.89.9 a gallon...and he shops for “cheap” gas. The high price of gasoline is on the lips of everyone you meet these days. Also, everyone has his or her own idea about whom we should blame for our latest economic woes.

Conservation Loses Out to Global Warming Panic
GreeenIsm
Dennis T. Avery
A global food crisis looms, as crops are diverted to biofuels. Food prices have soared 83 percent in three years. Thousands of U.S. farmers are pulling their land out of the government’s biggest conservation program to plant millions of acres back to crops and pasture. U.S. environmentalists warn that “years of conservation progress” will be lost as America’s 35-million-acre Conservation Reserve dwindles, especially in the important bird-nesting areas of the northern Great Plains.

Did you catch the video this week of a student kicking the stuffing out of an art teacher in Baltimore, Maryland while the rest of the class cheered the pounding on? Y’know, if that teacher was moi, and some F-bomb dropping Darwinian throwback came over my desk to accost me, I’d grab my handy dandy scissors and plant ‘em in the feral teen’s skullcap, Jason Voorhees style.
