Redskins Owner Dan Snyder on Being a Marked Man - NYTimes.com
[Q] You’ve started a green program to install solar panels atop FedEx Field and provide stations where fans can plug in their electric cars. You’re a Republican. Does this mean that, unlike most of the presidential field, you believe in global warming and the danger of greenhouse gases?
[A] This has nothing to do with politics. It’s about the future. And if you look at what we’ve done, I mean, it is mind-boggling to me, No. 1, how beautiful it is. And just think, if you’re driving here with your Chevy Volt, we have pumps so we can pump you right there. That is too cool.
Warning Signs: The Green Jobs, Clean Energy Scam
There will probably never be a definitive calculation of how much money the United States (and other nations) has wasted on Green programs, litigation, grants, research, and projects such as those involving “renewable” or "clean" energy. It will surely add up to several trillion because it has been going on for a very long time through administrations reaching back to Jimmy Carter’s and Richard Nixon’s.
The New Nostradamus of the North: Ban Ki-moon thinks Kiribati is sinking - Study says it is growing!
So, no need to make flight reservations to exotic Kiribati - although it would be nice to visit the island state and other Pacific islands now, when summer is over in Europe and the US (as the Secretary General is doing now). A little bit of reading, instead of the constant traveling could do good for Ki-moon. That would also reduce his huge carbon footprint!
