[We're saved!  World Bank blows more money on scam to prevent bad weather]
The World Bank has offered Egypt a US$220 million loan to support a wind energy development project. The Clean Technology Fund has contributed US$150 million dollars in its first contribution to the Middle East and North Africa.
...
"One of the advantages of this project is the reduction of gas diffusion that causes global warming through the development of clean energy resources," said Shandar Asicar Juvendar Agalo, the project team leader.
A cool place
The temperature inside is a steady -10 degree centigrade. A sophisticated insulation system and five-layered flooring ensure that the ice doesn’t melt even during eight-hour power cuts.
...Iceculture, Bayley's company, is one of the leading names in the ice hospitality business today, having done prestigious projects such as the inauguration party for President Barack Obama in Washington, a 2,000-block ice maze (now in the record books) for General Motors at the Toronto Auto Show, Elton John’s annual charity event in Britain and for Al Gore’s 2007 Nobel Prize acceptance in Oslo, for which they moulded blocks of ice into a melting Earth to depict global warming.

In terms of messaging, it’s a good bet that Republicans will spend their time reminding the many voters in the district with connections to the energy industry about Chandler’s vote to support the House cap-and-trade bill. Republicans and even some Democratic operatives have called that vote an indefensible one in a state where coal is king.
“I’m 63 and I’m Tired”
I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore’s, and if you’re greener than Gore, you’re green enough.
