Elevated CO2 Leads to More Nutritious Spinach ... and More of It!
As time progresses, and as the air's CO2 content continues its upward climb, spinach grown everywhere on earth should become more nutritious. And more of it should be produced on every square meter of every hectare of land on which it is grown. We suspect, therefore, that Popeye -- if he were here -- would be overjoyed that everyone everywhere should be able to acquire ever more of his ever-more-nutritious and beloved spinach as the atmosphere's CO2 concentration continues to rise.
Blah, blah, blah: President Obama delivers remarks at solar energy center - washingtonpost.com
This plant will produce enough power to serve the entire city of Arcadia [unless someone wants to use electricity when it's dark outside?].

We can imagine the day when you'll be able to charge the battery on your plug-in hybrid car at night because your smart meter reminded you that nighttime electricity is cheapest.
[Do you really need a smart meter to tell you that?  And if we're going to be generating so much solar electricity, why would electricity still be cheaper at night?]
...
OBAMA: And I've often said that the creation of such an economy is going to require nothing less than the sustained effort of an entire nation; an all-hands-on-deck approach, similar to the mobilization that preceded World War II or the Apollo Project.
[how is that only going to cost me 30 cents per day?]
Senate brawl over climate change [scam]  begins
The science is screaming at us to take action,” Kerry said. “All of our best scientists, in peer-reviewed studies, tell us that if (the earth's temperature rises more than 2 degrees centigrade), we risk catastrophic changes to the climate, to our crops, to our water supply, to the ocean currents, to the ecosystems that we depend on.”
...
The talks center on combining a cap-and-trade program with incentives to spur the construction of a new generation of nuclear power plants and provisions to open up more of the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas drilling.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told reporters Tuesday that he would be working with Kerry and Graham on the production components that will be part of the bill.

But Inhofe was skeptical. “Can you really try to drive fossil fuels to extinction on the one hand and increase them on the other?” he asked.
