American Thinker: The Green Bubble is about to Burst

The White House claims that the federal cash subsidy will create three hundred permanent jobs (at about $3 million per job!). The nature of the jobs is not specified, but one may assume that there will be much need for sweepers to remove dust and dirt from about 7,000 acres of solar mirrors. Not exactly "high-tech," is it?

An Election-Night Win For Domestic Energy Jobs | GlobalWarming.org

Draw up a map of the U.S. and shade in the regions that rely on energy jobs – places like Appalachia, the Rockies, western Gulf states, Alaska – and that’s where we saw some of the strongest anti-Obama sentiment succeeding on election day.
With few exceptions, the only Democratic congressional candidates who won in these areas were those able to distance themselves from President Obama’s energy policies – or to be more accurate, his anti-energy policies. In its first two years, the Obama administration has tried to slam the door shut on domestic production of coal, oil, and natural gas.
But now, many of the administration’s Congressional allies in this effort have gotten a pink slip from their constituents. Obama will soon have to contend with a Congress that sees increased supplies of affordable domestic energy - and the increased jobs that go with it - as things worth fighting for rather than against.
Most notably, costly global warming legislation proved to be political poison.

Global Warming Hysteria: Bobby Kennedy, Jr. Epitomizes the Term » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog

Kennedy rants and raves about how the answer is democracy, but refuses to understand that democracy has rejected his brand of radical environmentalism. We’re all just stupid and misinformed by the propaganda of the fat cats, unlike wise progressives like him.

Kennedy clearly would impose his policy desires if he could, regardless of what the people actually think. And of course, he was notoriously (and typically, see Al Gore, James Cameron, etc.) hypocritical opposing a wind farm that would be visible from the family’s Cape Cod compound.

Other than being the son of a great man, I don’t think Kenedy brings very much to the party. But he does provide a pretty good illustration of what I mean by “global warming hysteria.”
