Solar Fuel Snake Oil & Political Sabotage | The Resilient Earth

While the Copenhagen climate conference proved to be an embarrassing failure for the renewable energy, stop-global-warming-now crowd, it was only the latest large battle in this world wide struggle. The green energy “visionaries” don't want to solve the world's energy problems in an ecologically responsible way, they want to destroy the entire industrialized world. Local and regional skirmishes with the neo-Luddite forces of ecological political correctness continue in every nation. They must be countered with sound science and practical engineering. There are realistic, ecologically sound and financially affordable solutions to the world's growing energy gap, as we will reveal in the near future.

The Settled Science by James P. Hogan

I'm writing this at Christmas time, 2009. We've just witnessed a circus of deception and foolishness in Copenhagen that marks a new high in the attempted foisting of a politically motivated ideology upon the world in the guise of bogus science. Fortunately – for the time being at any rate – the canniness of the developing nations in demanding that the supposedly rational West literally put its money where its mouth was by playing out a lemming-like stampede to economic self-destruction brought home the absurdity to a degree that even our scientifically clueless best and brightest couldn't buy, and the whole thing largely came to nothing.

N.D. eyes suit against Minn. over carbon pricing | Minnesota Public Radio NewsQ

St. Paul, Minn. — A requirement by Minnesota regulators for electric utilities to factor costs for emitting carbon dioxide into their power generating plans affects utilities that export electricity to the state, and at least one of Minnesota's neighbors is ready to fight the requirement in court.

North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said Tuesday that his state is considering a lawsuit against Minnesota over the plan, which starting in 2012 will require utilities to assume costs between $9 and $34 for each ton of carbon dioxide emitted.

Stenehjem said much of the electricity Minnesotans use is supplied by power generation facilities in North Dakota. He said North Dakota doesn't need guidance from Minnesota on how carbon dioxide emissions should be controlled.

"We have probably the cleanest air and the best environment here in North Dakota [of] anywhere in the nation, and we frankly don't need Minnesota and Minnesota's officials to come here and tell us they love the environment more than we do," he said.
