Wind turbines like David Cameron's 'don't provide much electricity' - Telegraph
Rising electricity costs and concern over climate change has led thousands of people to install wind turbines on their houses, including the leader of the Conservative Party at his home in Notting Hill, west London.

Manufacturers claim some of the new micro turbines can provide 30 per cent of a household’s electricity needs. However, the most wide-ranging study to be carried out in the UK so far found that on average the wind turbines only generate 214 watt hours per day, including when the turbine is switched off for maintenance or due to failure. This is enough electricity to power four low energy lightbulbs for a day or less than five per cent of a household’s daily electricity needs.
Pelosi Won’t Move Cap-and-Trade Bill Until Congress Is Ready
Pelosi said she is not sure if Congress will be ready and that “We won’t go before we’re ready.” That’s a contrast from a recent statement where she said, “We need action, and we need action now.”

Pelosi’s cautious words have caused a stir among environmental campaigners and conservatives. On the one side environmentalists are worried that aggressive climate change action will fall by the wayside. As for conservatives, they are scoffing at Pelosi’s turnaround on the urgency of tackling climate change.
Obama May Not Realize It, But California Is A Dependant Neighbor - HUMAN EVENTS
President-elect Obama wants to base his greening of America on the great policies that California has followed for years. The global warming crowd embraces that idea, but skepticism is much more in order.

California’s model is broken: the state is bankrupt and so are its ideas on “green” economics.

Thanks, I got my fill of green BS in one posting. Pelosi Galore isn't ready. That has got to be a sight to see in a bathing suit.

Half baked science is never ready. Even if you have 60 UN scientists doing the baking.
