Political Rants from the Right

Oh!  You thought I meant “Green” as in eco-friendly!  That’s actually pretty funny!  No - I meant Green as in - really - look around - my theme color is green!  Sorry - I don’t buy in to this global warmongering hoax!  I don’t buy in to Al Gorebecile’s unfounded unsupported inconvenient lies.  The debate is hardly far from over.

In fact - there are 31,072 American scientists who have signed on debunking this man-made global warming hoax! Of these scientists - approximately 9,000+ have Ph.D.’s in various earth, atmospheric, meteorological, astrological, and physical sciences.  They contend the debate is definitely not over!

I proudly drive a Toyota 4Runner SUV!  I will drive that puppy from around the corner to the nearest convenience store (conveniently located less than 1 mile from my house) just so that I don’t have to break a sweat!  I am unapologetic about it.  Sure, gas prices are high right now - but - I’m also a supporter of the Drill Here, Drill Now initiative. (I’ll get that blogroll up over to the right here soon.)  I have all the confidence that as we increase supplies and become more energy independent - the prices will fall.  I’ll wait it out!  

I am not convinced that those hybrids are all the economical.  Battery powered cars are just not efficient at this time.  Even Dr. MacCready of AeroVironment states “Fuel cells do not deliver enough energy to be really useful for cars” over at GreenCar.com.  Not only that, they are still very expensive - “This battery-powered car is a great goal for the future, but is a bit expensive now because of the cost of the batteries.”

Sure, I’m all for using alternative energies such as wind, solar, hydro, and battery fuel cells - once they are efficient and cheap.  But - there are other hurdles coming from the most unlikely places!  Vulcan’s Hammer has a post up right now that talks about how the environmentalists and some Democrats in Congress are actually blocking efforts to have energy transmission lines built from solar and wind power generators!  Some really crazy stuff, isn’t it?  Even if the eco-terrorists and Obama get their way and force alternative energy over increasing oil supplies - the REALLY FAR LEFT eco-terrorists are blocking THEIR efforts!  They’re working against each other.

At least one thing I can say about those of us on the right on this issue - we’re at least on the same page with drilling for oil! As Kermit would say - It ain’t easy being Green!
