Get Energy Smart! NOW!

In Sunday’s Washington Post, yet another inane, deceptive, truthiness laden OPED appears on energy issues. Not satisfied with publishing George Will’s Will-ful Deceit, Krauthammer’s fact-free forays into energy analysis, Samuelson’s truthiness, and Sarah Palin’s paltry shallowness, and others, Kathleen Parker has stepped up to the plate for an attack on the American Clean Energy and […]

Now, I don’t know Claire’s stance on the CFC, have to believe she supports the Combined Federal Campaign (a path for Federal workers to have donations directly deducted from their paychecks).  And, it is unlikely that she is a big supporter of CFC destruction of the Ozone layer.  However, when it comes to CFC, Cash […]

CFC, Cash For Clunkers (the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) Program), certainly is in the news today. Almost no one expected the massive surge of interest in the program such that, within a week, the program required more funding.

Referred to as ‘sausage making’, the legislative process isn’t pretty (despite those beautiful Rose Garden signing sessions). And, too often, the result from the legislative process isn’t pretty. And, where the Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security (ACES) Act has gone isn’t pretty and the potential paths forward make it far too likely to end […]

As noted just a few days ago, discussing a historic NAACP climate change resolution, the “environmental” movement has had a reputation as some form of lily-white activity for those with enough resources to have the luxury of caring about the planet’s future.

According to Newsday, There’s no Christmas in July for Andrew Spadafora. Spadafora has, over the years, built up what might be Long Island’s largest Christmas light display. And, associated with that, has been raising money for the Schneider Children’s Hospital: some $180,000 in fundraising. But, the still unpaid portions of the $41,000 that the 2008 […]
