ERIC BAERREN: Nuclear power and free markets
A skeptic is not someone who approaches the issue assuming their already-held position is the correct one, which is the case of virtually every climate "skeptic," [how does Eric know this?] but someone who looks at the evidence and concludes that the evidence isn't terribly convincing.
Obscure state regulator leads national climate change [hoax] charge
Most Americans don't know it, but, unless the nation's governors take a stand, the country's private sector could soon be pressured and sued into adopting a wide array of climate-change policies, such as fossil fuel emission standards, otherwise known as carbon caps, even though the principal legislative vehicle for them - the Obama administration's so-called cap-and-trade bill - is laying on its Congressional death bed.

Most Wisconsinites don't know it, but one of the main driving forces nationally behind this end-run around elected officials is none other than a Wisconsin bureaucrat, and a little-known one at that: Sean Dilweg, who occupies the rather obscure post of state insurance commissioner.

Siebel, Condi Rice-Backed Carbon [Scam] Startup C3 Ups Funds
It’s probably not too hard for carbon-focused startup C3 to raise funds. Despite the fact that the company is in stealth and hasn’t released a product or game plan, it was started by Thomas Siebel — the guy who sold Siebel Systems to Oracle for billions of dollars — and counts former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and former Senator and Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham as directors. (You know about as much as I do about how this group came together on this project). Well, according to an SEC filing, C3 is looking to up its funding by around $4 million to a total of $30 million.
