I suppose you think you read that wrong. You didn’t. The US Senate actually spent time on S.Res.440:
Title: A resolution recognizing soil as an essential natural resource, and soils professionals as playing a critical role in managing our Nation’s soil resources.
Sponsor: Sen. Sherrod Brown (D, OH)
Cosponsers:
Sen Conrad, Kent [D, ND] […]

Now I understand why “the Obama” is continues to tout and support corn ethanol. ADM (Archer Daniels Midland) is based in Illinois but since lobbyists have no control over Obama I’m sure that he wouldn’t have received any campaign funds from the evil energy giant called ADM.
Oh, he has? Like riding […]

The scandal should be that politicians and environMENTALists are responsible for US energy dependence on the Middle East and other countries. We end up supporting enemies like Hugo Chavez, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Egypt, Iran all through our purchase of oil. Some might argue with me that Mexico isn’t our enemy but our friend. […]

IBD - Peak Oil: An Idea Whose Time Is Up
U.S. production is trending down again, but it’s not because there’s no oil. It’s due to shortsighted policies that prevent the industry from drilling for the almost 100 billion barrels of crude known to be under Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and beneath the oceans just […]

Since the US refuses to exploit it’s own oil supplies we must rely on other countries. Recent oil discoveries in Brazil, Columbia, Peru and Mexico could shift the energy focus away from the Middle East to Latin America. Unfortunately, the Democrats recently blocked trade agreements with Columbia thus creating an adversarial relationship. […]

The last people who care about life or conservation are the global warming environMENTAL activists. The true agenda was disclosed at the United Nations earlier this week:
The Environmentalists’ Real Agenda
Ideologies: Once in a while the truth accidentally tumbles out on global warming activists’ real agenda. That’s exactly what happened at the U.N., when Bolivia’s […]

I have not been someone who has put much thought into the theory of evolution. A few years back (within 5 years) I heard a discussion on talk radio between a Darwinist and the talk show host (I think it might have been Michael Medved). The lingering thought which stayed with me was […]

For a definition of insanity just look to the US Congress and it’s energy policies of “just saying no” to oil drilling. You can include all the Democrats in this insanity and add enough Republicans to the mix to complete the disconnect.
But now, Senator Byron Dorgan seems to be saying it’s okay for North […]

From the Land of 10,000 Loons (Minnesota)
Minnesota’s moose are dying; global warming may be to blame
Moose are as much a symbol of Minnesota as wolves, lakes and loons. But wildlife biologists say the state’s moose population is in trouble. Moose numbers have plummeted in northwestern Minnesota to near extinction. The animals are also dying prematurely […]

Another example of unintended consequences with the Federal mandate for ethanol. Specialty or craft beer brewers are being hit with 70% to 200% increases in the cost of hops.
Cost may make you cry in your beer
What is the price for America’s new emphasis on energy independence?For beer drinkers, about a buck a […]

I’d previously listed some of the reasons I’m not a McCain supporter nor will I ever be a McCain supporter.
Now there’s the McCain/Lieberman bill which is a broad based energy tax. I knew about McCain’s love for the global warming fanatics but hadn’t really picked up his bill to incur a back […]

Yep, the Dims with some help from Republicrats are trying to kill the economy. An energy policy that does nothing but pander to big agribusiness.
A Low-Carbon Diet From Fossil Fools
Energy Policy: The House and Senate have put a lot of energy into legislation that develops no new energy. The only thing it’ll […]

First the story.
Technology pumps new life into Prudhoe Bay - Innovative drilling methods squeeze more oil than expected at Alaska field
PRUDHOE BAY, ALASKA — The future of North America’s most prolific oil field is riding at the end of a 6-mile-long flexible drill bit winding its way underneath the Alaskan tundra.
The equipment, known as a […]

When the media interviews someone filling their tank at a pump why is it the person never complains about one of the real culprits of the cost of a gallon of gas?  Enviromental groups driving regulations.  Congress, through the influence of enviro lobbying groups, has regulated ourselves out of the business of refining crude.  The […]

So now Sheryl Crow thinks squares of toilet paper should be rationed!  Do these Global Warming cultists ever realize how ridiculous they sound?  This is something out of a George Orwell novel.  Of course, I’m sure this policy would be for the ‘little people’ because Sheryl and her ilk could just buy TP Credits!
From April […]

I guess this falls in line with the Dhimmicrats removing the term Global War on Terror (GWOT).  Turban Durbin and Bagel Hagel are moving to have the Pentagon and CIA to make Global Warming a national defense issue!
Bill ties climate to national security from Boston.com
The CIA and Pentagon would for the first time be required […]

Seems like I have a few minutes of internet here. Buck Sargent has a wonderful tear on Al Gore and his absolute hypocrisy.
Here’s a couple paragraphs from this audacious wonderful piece:
Meanwhile these same gliberal econauts minimize the danger of Islamic radicalism, a fatally proven threat that could at any time instantly vaporize a sizable […]

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
He’s such a loser.  I’d like to know his pound weight.  That alone must be causing man-made Global Warming, course that’s if there existed man-made Global Warming.  I happen to be one of the atheistic non-believers in Global Warming.  I soon expect to be burnt at the stake.

Ok, the title is a bit disingenuous but the Tennessean article which was supposed to be this incredible expose` at first glance gives Al Gore a pass.
First sentence:
CARTHAGE, Tenn. - Al Gore has profited from zinc mining that has released millions of pounds of potentially toxic substances near his farmstead, but there is no evidence […]

I always figured the whole fuel cell/gas driven autos were nothing more than a selling gimmick.  And that would make me correct!
From Thunder Pig via Blue Collar Republican we read:
However, the environment-saving credentials of the cars are seriously undermined by the disclosure that one of the car’s essential components is produced at a factory that […]

Yes, the ethanol scam is one of my pet peeves.  It’s like the Global Warming is caused by man scam, if you say a lie often enough people believe the lie.  I think President Bush is buying into the scam for political expediency, encouraged on by his advisors.  I refuse to believe he actually has […]

It’s interesting how the Sierra Club and other “environmentalists” have taken a stand on the dumping of millions of pounds of garbage in the Arizona desert by illegal aliens and drug smugglers. Yet, these enviro’s set their ire on the Border Patrol!
One issue that could pull the environmental community back into the immigration debate is […]
