ETA For Climate [Hoax] Bill? Not On Earth Day -- Energy Section
The exact day next week when three senators will release an intensely scrutinized climate and energy plan is unclear, but it certainly will not be on Earth Day.

With so many businesses now producing solar panels (most of them overseas in anticipation of a booming U.S. market), the cost of panels has been nearly cut in half, making it impossible for businesses like BP Solar to stay in business in the U.S. In an effort to create green jobs, hundreds of green jobs that had been around for 30-plus years were lost. Ironic isn’t it?

Really? I used to live right down the street from the Fairfax County municipal incinerator in Alexandria, Va. and it was a constant target of greens and NIMBYs alike — an irony Rosenthal finally figures out in graph 12:
