Another Major Natural Gas Pipeline Project Bites The Dust | OilPrice.com
Brilliant. In a bid to accelerate the stampede of young people out of the state of New York, the state prevents a natural gas pipeline which would bring lower priced, clean natural gas to New York, and New England. Let them burn cake, is the progressives energy mantra. Do We Know How to Smartly Spend Climate Cash?

How to Spend $75 Billion to Make the World a Better Place Paperback – March 1, 2014 by Bjorn Lomborg Once you are finished with that book, go buy, and read all of Lomborg's books.

On the other hand, environmentalists would shunt money to electric cars which are only affordable by the uber wealthy, likely increasing the rebate so millionaires can drive in style without giving their accountants heart attacks. Or shunt money to firms like Solyndra, or SunEdison. Yes. Solyndra is bankrupt and defunct, SunEdison is in the process. These people simply have no idea how to spend this money, and will likely spend it either politically, or lavishly on projects they, or their friends will make money from. Stick advice from someone like Lomborg. Mountains Out of Molehills | Information is Beautiful
. . . resolve that mistake by never watching any 24-hour news network, and preferably by never watching televised news, other than you local weather. The chart here is wonderful, but it only goes back to Y2K. It would be eye opening indeed to see this chart extended back to the 1960s. Then we could track the insatiable desire of the progressive environmentalists to say anything to gain control over other people. The neo-Malthusians have been wrong every single time they raised the alarm throughout recorded history. There is no reason to believe these wackadoos will be right this time, or the next time. Ignore the ignorant, shrill harpings of the neo-Malthusian, he is a fool attempting to beclown you. Peaceful, pacifist vegans want to kill couple who turn from veganism and now eat meat . . .4/28/2016 L.A. Vegans Go to War: Death Threats, Macrobiotic Bowls and Virulence of Beef Broth
. . . oh, those peaceful vegans, and their murderous, rage. Progressives would be happy if only you complied with each and every one of their demands, now. Right! Sigh. Every time you open the cover on this book, the homicidal, authoritarian progressives are shouting their hatred, and desire to murder from the rooftops. Take them at their word. The 2 huge mistakes that sent Wall Street's nightmare stock into bankruptcy
. . . its two mistakes? Solar, and wind! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Blah, blah, blah this article misses the point. Alternative energy's ROI, is terrible, commonly less than zero. Alternative energy's carbon footprint is far worse than people believe, due to the carbon created through siting the energy farm, building the structures, infrastructure necessary to maintain, and link to the grid, and the cost of manufacturing all the maintenance parts, and then installing them, and the need for constant hot fossil fuel back up power because alternative energy is too inconsistent to be compatible with the power grid. Most commonly, alternative energy adds more carbon than a nuclear, or natural gas alternatives, costs more than any mainstream fuel source, blights the landscape, kills wildlife in far greater numbers than mainstream energy sources, and is completely unaffordable. And, yes, no one tells you this because, um, you don't need to know this information to be the mark. It's about money and power, not the environment. I have written about this often, search around you will find the answers you are looking for here. Notice how the article interviews the former CEO of the failed largest renewable energy firm in Europe, about the failure of the largest renewable energy in the US. This is irony. And how is it that the knobs over at SunEdison were unable to figure out why Conergy failed? Perhaps the name a blending of "Con"and "Energy" was too obvious. Alternative energy is a con. Please, never forget Mamet's rule, if you are in a con and you don't know who the mark is . . . you're the mark.
