Global Warming: Is It Really a Crisis?

Years from now, Scientist will look back on the whole "global warming" period and use it as an example of how Scientist should not jump on the band wagon no matter how popular it is.

All about coal--a necessary evil

FAQ: All about coal--a necessary evil | CNET News.com


Very interesting reading. If we could replace our use of gas with bio-fuels, hybrids, and electric cars, we could eliminate our dependence on oil.

But we would pollute more.

But we can develop ways to capture the pollution and CO2 at power plants. It sounds like there are many options. [This Post Continues after the jump...]

Electric Vehicles Compared

I hope I can hold out to 2010 for the Chev Volt.... and I hope I can afford it.... I would love to have one.. 40 miles will get me to work and back everyday. Plus I suspect that my employer (NASA) will install recharge stations at work to encourage this sort of thing. They already have small electric cars for people to drive around the center with.

I'm sure the first version will be buggy and all, but I'm also hoping for some tax incentives to help out with the higher "total cost of ownership" of these first generation EV/Generator cars.

Public 'wary of green tax motives'

This is in Britain but I think the same would be true in the US. Except here we don't so much raise taxes for this as much as we put new costly regulations on industry. It has a similar effect though.

I need to find some US polls.

But for me the buggiest reason I oppose the efforts of the "global warming club" is that I get suspicious when they use future doomsday problems to try and justify some new law restricting something. I realize there needs to be balance and in deed some laws restricting certain industries are very important. But when they say something like "New York will be underwater if we don't raise the average gas mileage of US cars" I can't take them seriously...

More Bogus Kyoto History

Instapundit.com has a blurb about how Reuters is RE-writing history. I swear, environmentalist would do their cause a world of good if they would quit making up false reasons for bad treaties like Kyoto.

They also make it sound as if the US has done nothing to curb our emissions while China gets credit for reducing their population growth by forced abortions, and East Europe gets credit by using Soviet era pollution as a baseline. But no credit for the US, but no data showing if the US emissions are more or less than estimates. This lack of data is very telling.

The Hydrogen Hoax

I for one never bought into the "Hydrogen Economy"... we will end up with an "Energy Economy" but what will the source be?

Nuclear Fusion is the only think left in my mind that has the potential to deliver us the energy we need. But even that isn't going to lead us to energy utopia...
