Waxman and Markey’s War on Coal - Drew Thornley - Planet Gore on National Review Online

Here's an idea: Punish our most abundant domestic energy source — which powers literally half of our lives and our economy — unless said power source employs a technology that at present is not commercially viable. Brilliant!

Green: Stupid EU Tricks - Chris Horner - Planet Gore on National Review Online

Skeptic's Corner: Today's Thought
