Welfare for mad scientists? AMS endorses federal funding of geoengineering « Green Hell Blog
The American Meteorological Society this week endorsed federal funding of geoengineering — that is, the Society believes that taxpayers should support surplus, unemployable, over-educated madmen willing to research how best to blot out the sun and implement other bizarre schemes in hopes of slowing climate change.

People have seen Obama’s economic policies up close for the first time, and they don’t like them.

"..aesthetics of wind energy.." as soon as windpower becomes the source of electricity, the greenies can use this as a new argument to blame electrical appliances for destroying earth's beauty indirectly via windmills.

No matter what new source of energy is developed, they will always find eco-problems and eventually be against it. The only energy the greens allow us to have eventually will be MUSCLE ENERGY. But muscle energy must not come from any other food than vegetables, which in turn must be farmed and harvested with muscle energy, NOT tractors. A return to the middle ages - no development stage further - is what they REALLY want.
