Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Jobs Creator - Henry Payne - Planet Gore on National Review Online

The Reference Frame: Global CO2 production up 2% in 2008

The CO2 growth seems identical to the growth before the Kyoto protocol (and it has accumulated to a 40% jump since 1990) which means that the hundreds of billions of dollars - and surely trillions if you add them up - have been completely wasted even if you were imagining that modified CO2 emissions could detectably influence the climate which they can't.

It's the carbon criminals who pocket this money. The grey carbon economy is one of the big tumors parasiting on the human society.

Per Schwer, “Focusing on renewables such as solar power and wind energy would make the Silver State an exporter of energy, similar to Texas and Oklahoma.”

Yeah. Nevada could be an energy exporter if only it would turn away from its productive coal and nuclear facilities and instead pretend it could run on windmills and solar panels. You know — like California, a state to which Nevada presently, um, exports power. Without which power California wouldn't have enough. Because it, ah, did what this fella suggests that Nevada do.
