Rush Limbaugh did a whole show today about how wealthy countries are cleaner countries and how it’s the poor countries that are the polluters. So this canard of “green” policies is a nothing more than a lie to impoversh this country – to level the ecconomic playing field. They can’t bring those countries up, so they need to bring us down.

So, much like the Middle Ages, we will all be poor and live in a filthy world.

In honor of Earth Day, today Rush honored those who have improved the lives of mankind on earth. Folks like Thomas Edison building the first coal fired electric power plant, and the Wright Bros., but the first on his list, was all coal miners, past and present for without them, we would not have the standard of living we now enjoy.

I can’t believe Glenn Beck isn’t using that one! You’ve GOT to submit it.

Sad to say, I’m sure that Ernie Thompson, who wrote the book and stage play and screenplay for “On Golden Pond”, probably owns that phrase lock stock and barrel.

I know you were being ironic because of their refusal to allow the farms, but as someone who used to work for one, let me tell you they don’t work. You have to deface tens of thousands of acres just to partially power a small township.

Windmills are old technology – think Holland. lets use 21st century technology, shall we? Or at the very least, 20th century technology – say, like nuclear?

I support nuclear power as well, but well designed windmills do work. Clipper Windpower has a 2.5 MW windmill for sail. I stood under the prototype, it dwarfed the other windmills in the wind farm, and in a stiff breeze I found in to be quite quiet.
.
Conservatives need to stop being as hostile to wind power, as libtards are to nuclear, and coal.

Not just another four-letter word.

:-P

we need the coal, clean or unclean (and I don’t know anything about coal) to produce electricity. i want electricity. period.

Robert Kennedy: Obama “indentured servant” to coal industry
…

Katharine Hepburn called, she want’s her voice back.

Awesome!

I deplore Robert Kennedy for being an elitest, a hypocrit, and a lackey, same as any semi-comatose, rational person.

In answer to your question, actually I do believe his words were carefully chosen for him just so he could call President Obama a servent without calling him a slave.

A couple of people quibble with my definition of “indentured servant” being equivalent to slave, noting that, originally, such servants only worked for a few years before paying off their debt.

For most of history, this has been the working definition of a slave. Get over it, people. Slavery was not a means of racial subjugation, but a means of settling a debt. That doesn’t make it right, it makes it what it is. A post-industrial economy made it obsolete. The Civil War… didn’t.

…

The Kennedy family has been a scourge on this country ever since their gin soaked canoe floated over from Ireland.
