Sheep-Maintained Solar Power Plant

The state’s newest solar farm has the capability of generating 650 kilowatts from its 3,240 photovoltaic panels. This is enough energy to power at least 60 homes. They estimate that around 837,000 kilowatt-hours will be produced in the first year alone. North Carolina is definitely serious in its efforts to switch to sustainable energy.

The public are welcome to view the ground-mounted solar panels from afar. But BB&T, the bank that financed the solar project, required that the $4 million property be enclosed with barbed wires, in order to protect the expensive solar panels.

Houston’s Energy Citizens Rally (and why was the Houston Chronicle editorial board silent?) — MasterResource

I have lamented how the editorial board of my hometown Houston Chronicle long ago took a hard left position on the ”problem” and “solution” of anthropogenic global climate change. Not even the U.S. House of Representatives’s Waxman-Markey climate bill–labeled a “monstrosity” and “less than worthless” by NASA scientist and Al Gore mentor James Hansen, and “out of control” by UN Foundation head Tim Wirth–has loosened the grip of climate alarmism and policy activism at the Chronicle despite an opposite view by popular business editorialist Loren Steffy.

Now to the present.

American Thinker: Bi-Polar Liberals?

At the same time that we are in the middle of this debate, the Obama administration has loaned Brazil two billion dollars to help fund the development of Brazil's huge offshore oil reserves. So the LPDs are adding to the source of CO2 gasses at a cost of a couple of billion, while demanding that we tax ourselves into poverty to reduce CO2 gas from the burning of petroleum.

Since the LPDs purposes are always noble and just chock-full of empathy and all that warm fuzzy stuff, perhaps they could explain how these two things are not in direct conflict with one another. And they could also explain why George Soros, the ultimate "sugar-daddy" of the LPDs, who is a major shareholder in the Brazilian corporation Petrobras that will be receiving the loan, apparently hasn't divested his holdings in protest of this despoiling of the planet. Maybe they could also explain why he's not a traitor to the planet.

Pensioners 'stay in bed' to cut fuel bills - Telegraph

Age Concern and Help the Aged, which commissioned the report, warned that further price rises seen during 2008 would have increased the pressure on older people, forcing many of them to turn down the heating or cut spending in other areas in order to afford their energy bills.

The group said some pensioners were even resorting to staying in bed in a bid to reduce the amount they spent on heating.
