See update below. Thanks to David Freddoso for pointing out a Washington Post editorial from a few days ago regarding Yucca Mountain. President Obama and Senator Harry Reid have put politics above safety, and have effectively shut down the $15 billion radioactive waste disposal site. “65,000 metric tons of commercial spent nuclear fuel is...
The other day I linked to an article suggesting that the E-coli outbreak in Europe could be an act of terrorism. The strain is resistant to antibiotics, and the author believed that the only way that could have occurred is through bio-engineering. In summary, he believed it was a man-made strain. Today there’s a...
While the Wienergate scandal erupted other things were happening. You know, like the Department of Agriculture spending a boatload of dollars confiscated from us to figure out how to establish a market for greenhouse gases. A market for greenhouses gases is another term for cap and trade, by the way. Be thankful that CNS...
Rick Manning has a piece in The Hill from earlier this week that’s a case study in how the environmentalists and their allies in government prevent jobs from being created. The economy is rotten, yet thousands of jobs in Alaska haven’t been created because of the actions of the EPA. It’s maddening. In Alaska,...
President Obama nominated John Bryson to be the next Commerce Secretary. Rather than choose a moderate concerned about the economy, Obama chose a radical green activist who believe cap and trade was a moderate proposal. House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa called Bryson a “green evangelist.” Just what the economy needs. Issa said Bryson is...
This kind of crap always starts in California, and the next thing you know it’s happening everywhere. Enjoy your fireworks while you can. Superior Court Judge Linda Quinn said La Jolla’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show requires evaluation under the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA. The case, filed by the Coastal Environmental...
I say hydrofracking hysteria as there is no other explanation for it. I came across an article at Salon.com the other day that made the assertion, without a single iota of evidence, that “gas drilling contaminates your food”. Written by Barry Estabrook it should be used as the primer for those wishing to advocate...
No wonder so many people home school their children. Next year on Earth Day, the Obama administration plans to award schools throughout the country with the title of “Green Ribbon Schools.” They may as well call it the “Environmental Indoctrination of Our Youth Award.” CNS News reported: Next year on Earth Day, the Obama...
On February 27 2011 the New York Times published an expose on hydraulic fracturing. The article was splashed across headlines across the web, print and television. The documents reveal that the wastewater, which is sometimes hauled to sewage plants not designed to treat it and then discharged into rivers that supply drinking water, contains...
Los Alamitos schools are now required to teach both sides to the global warming debate: The city’s school board is requiring the teacher of an advanced-placement science class to present “multiple perspectives” including the view that global warming is not being caused by man, a newspaper reported Sunday. The Los Alamitos Unified School Board...
I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about bedbugs, and that was before some of them were discovered carrying the MRSA super bug. Now I’m twice as skeeved thinking about them. Too bad the leftist environmentalists had DDT banned. If so I probably wouldn’t be posting anything on the topic. CBS New York reported...
Who was it that said “never let a crisis go to waste?” Just as the Obama administration took advantage of the BP oil spill to enact an unwarranted and economically ruinous moratorium on all deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, it appears that nuclear power companies are next in line for similar draconian...
The New York Daily News describes it as “one of the hottest viral videos on the Internet today…” This is a difficult claim to swallow, at the time of this posting there were a mere 3,426 YouTube views. Nevertheless, it does have a catchy tune that likely does much to cover for its lack...
In spite of what you may have read elsewhere, the most compelling finding of the Duke Natural Gas and Water Study is not that shallow drinking water systems within 1000 meters of active natural gas drilling had methane levels 17 times higher than fresh water aquifers further away from active drilling sites. It is...
