Severin Borenstein, Professor of Business and Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, and director of the U.C. Energy Institute, is firmly in the camp of climate alarmism and public policy activism. In a recent op-ed, Borenstein argues that absent the climate-change argument, the environmentalists are intellectually adrift trying to argue for their (politically correct) renewable energies–wind and solar (but not ethanol and hydroelectricity, mind you).
Lots of people getting hurt by the “ethanol bubble” | JunkScience.com
Let’s face it, ethanol has a lot more drawbacks than positives as a primary fuel, only political interference has created a “market” – one which is both pointless and unaffordable

We import it from nations that hate our guts (like Canada!). And moreover, we’re running out. Oil is “finite.” Finite much in the way water is finite.

An Open Letter to Dr. Linda Gundersen | Watts Up With That?
[Willis Eschenbach] Make no mistake. If Peter Gleick walks away from this debacle free of expulsion, sanction, or censure from the AGU, without suffering any further penalties, your reputation and the reputation of the AGU will forever join his on the cutting room floor. People are already laughing at the spectacle of the chair of a task force on scientific integrity getting caught with his entire arm in the cookie jar. You have one, and only one, chance to stop the laughter.
All fossil fuels must be cut to avoid global warming, scientists say | JunkScience.com
“Blow it out your ear,” real people reply – because people are learning that catastrophic anthropogenic global warming is a contrived boogeyman of no real world consequence
