If Mr. Obama is only counting wind power and solar power as renewables, then his promise is clearly doable. But the unfortunate truth is that even if he matches Mr. Bush’s effort by doubling wind and solar output by 2012, the contribution of those two sources to America’s overall energy needs will still be almost inconsequential.

Climate swindle inspires many fossil-fueled trips to Aspen

“We’re not looking, as some alarmists have indicated, to regulate every single Dunkin’ Donut or every single cow or every single backyard barbecue grill,” Jackson said. “We’re not looking for a doomsday scenario, in fact we’re looking to avoid it. We’re not looking to shut down the American economy.

Jackson spoke highly of Obama’s direction on climate change and challenged critics to consider what is at stake for the planet.

“If you think carbon [regulation] challenges economic growth, wait and see what carbon change has in store for economic growth,” she said. “We have long since passed the tipping point — one way or another we have to bring our emissions down.”

She challenged the Aspen crowd to produce “big ideas” that will lead to sustained action on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Over the next three days, more than 100 scientists, business leaders, researchers and academics will exchange ideas with that goal in mind. The forum is called, “Powering the Planet: Energy for the Long Run.” It is being presented by The Aspen Institute and National Geographic.

The forum drew an interesting mix of people to Aspen. In a matter of minutes it was possible to meet a National Geographic Magazine photographer based in Atlanta, a “green” architect from Washington, D.C., a solar electric system installer also from D.C., a green business owner and operator from San Francisco and an Aspen City Council candidate.

Shunichi Akasofu, founding director of the University of Alaska’s International Arctic Research Centre added, “Before anyone noticed, this hypothesis has been substituted for truth.”

Truth is sometimes inconvenient, as Al Gore likes to say. But that cuts both ways. Truth can also be inconvenient when it shines light on propaganda. Not to allow for a full-fledged debate on global warming is censorship, a popular practice in totalitarian societies and many fundamentalist religions and cults.
