Gas prices in the Syracuse, NY area have gone up nearly 20% since September, according to the Post Standard. Gas prices have risen on average 18 percent this fall with some of the most expensive stations in Syracuse now selling gas for as much as $3.29 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.com.So far in this month...
Outgoing California Governor Arnold Shriver Kennedy Schwarzenegger would very much like to work for the Obama administration on climate change. In an interview with editors at the Los Angeles Times, the outgoing California governor said he was in “no rush” to find a new job when his term ends next month. But asked specifically...
I saw something on the news the other day about New Yorkers lining up for their HEAP (heating assistance) payments. The federal funding is late, and the program is expected to run out of money early. It’s really cold. People are out of work and can’t pay their heating bills. Here in the LC...
When I read the headline that the EPA Delays Tougher Rules on Regulation I had to do a double take. I blinked a few times, rubbed my eyes and then read it again. Yup! It’s still there. The move to delay the rules, announced this week by the Environmental Protection Agency, will leave in...
I’ve been wondering how much revenue the federal government is foregoing by the fiscally irresponsible extension of Obama’s ban on offshore drilling. Thanks to Eric Rosenbaum we now have an estimate. (Emphasis mine.) “This is an unfortunate decision that will eliminate badly needed government revenues, inhibit employment growth and increase reliance on imported energy,”...
Rep. Fred Upton was a co-sponsor of the law that bans good old fashioned incandescent light bulbs in America. Now that he’s vying for the top spot on the Energy and Commerce Committee, he claims to have seen the light. That about-face is not unique among lawmakers looking to atone for stances they’ve taken...
Gas prices are up nationwide, and most Americans believe President Obama’s ban on offshore drilling will only make matters worse. It certainly won’t help, that’s for sure. I just wonder who are the people who think the ban will help? A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 54% of Likely U.S. Voters...
Chalk this off to another example of governing without the consent of the governed. The United States promised the world a climate change bill will be passed. And if not, hey, there’s always the power of the executive. But State Department negotiators say that despite the failure of the legislation, they are standing by...
The good news keeps trickling in. The latest – when Nancy Pelosi took control of the House of Representatives she created the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. Now that she’s been demoted by the voters, her little committee is going to die a quick death. Republicans, who won control of the...
President Obama’s war on jobs and the economy continues. Paying upwards of $3.00 per gallon for gas is painful. It will be agony when the price of gas spikes to $5.00 or more by the time Obama and his administration are done with us. The White House admitted in September that they knew the...
The EPA is full of unelected bureaucrats with an agenda. The Heartland Institute drew attention to the issue of regulating green house gases again today, calling the EPA’s plan a “sucker punch” to the US economy. While you were getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Environmental Protection Agency was cooking up a turkey...
This is just what the world needs in these economic times – voluntarily slowing economic growth to combat global warming. The Telegraph reports from the climate conference in Cancun: In one paper Professor Kevin Anderson, Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, said the only way to reduce global emissions enough, while...
Democrats tell lies? Why, who would believe it? Democrats frequently talk about ending subsidies for big oil companies. The Tax Foundation crunched the numbers, so the next time you hear about those subsidies you’ll know the truth. In both reports, the IEA expresses its opposition to energy subsidies if they encourage the production or...
Al Gore, a former proponent of subsidies for corn-based ethanol, is now saying it was a bad idea. Oops! Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore said support for corn-based ethanol in the United States was “not a good policy”, weeks before tax credits are up for renewal.U.S. blending tax breaks for ethanol make it profitable...
