Al Gore Launches the “Climate Reality Project” | Warmist English major Chris Mooney | Discover Magazine
In my view, Gore has been pretty much right about the science of climate all along. But sad to say, everything I’ve learned about this issue convinces me that there is little he can say or do to get conservative climate “skeptics” to accept that.

Yes, they need to renounce their counter-reality and come back to this one.
House Republicans: Down with squiggly light bulbs
"If you are Al Gore and want to spend $10 for a light bulb, more power to you," Barton said. He exaggerated the cost of most energy-efficient bulbs and neglected to mention that they last years longer than old incandescent bulbs, which give off about 90 percent of the energy they consume as heat.
Government Has Failed. Send More Government. - By Henry Payne - Planet Gore - National Review Online
Detroit is a microcosm of Obama’s stubborn central planning that is crippling the country.

Federal mpg standards didn’t work? More rules. The stimulus didn’t work? More bureaucrats. “The two-plus years of federal stimulus spending to create jobs and lower unemployment has proven to be an abysmal failure,” writes Howes, surveying Detroit’s crippled landscape of 40 percent (real) unemployment. Obama’s desperate bid to send more bureaucrats to manage its failure displays “the lack of economic leadership from a White House outmatched in vision and action by its times.”

Obama knows all, regulates all, plans all. Alas, what Detroit (and the country) needs, is not more dependence on Washington, but less.
