Fraud Environmentalists

Palinocrity Environmentalist- Once again Sarah Palin is caught editing her past. Palin in an interview with ABC News Charlie Gibson now concurs that humans have contributed to climate change. Reminded of her earlier comments such as, “A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. ... I'm not one, though, who would attribute it to being man-made." and this ditty, "I'm not an Al Gore, doom-and-gloom environmentalist blaming the changes in our climate on human activity." In the current interview she challenges Gibson to “Show me where I have ever said that there is absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had an effect on climate change. I have not said that.” This one is turning into one slippery character. The media needs to come out of its trance like state and start researching this woman’s past statements and actions. In my opinion there is no way to paint her as anything near concerned with the environment. She should take a trip up to the North Slope of Alaska and watch as her state continues to collapse into the ocean.


Pelosi’s Gamble- Nancy Pelosi is taking a risk in scheduling a vote that in exchange for allowing offshore oil drilling 50 miles off the US coastline will be coupled with Democratic supported energy initiatives. In allowing for this initiative to come to a vote, Pelosi is seeking such things as renewable tax incentives to be paid for by repealing the federal oil industry subsidies, new alternative fuel requirements for utility companies, new natural gas programs and home and office energy efficiency measures. Democrats claim that the 50 mile barrier is better than what oil companies and Republicans want which would put oil rigs within 3 miles of the coastline. The Republicans are so far up oils ass indications are they will not support the bill due to the 50 mile ban and wanting more dirty fossil fuels explored. The Republicans continue to impede any progress on clean energy initiatives. I hope everyone keeps this in mind as the Republican ticket continues to trumpet its green friendliness.


Back In the Saddle- Honda is revamping the Insight which was the first hybrid on the road back in 1999. The new 2010 model Insight is much improved and has a Prius-like design profile. This hybrid rides on an all new platform and will be available on Earth Day, April 22nd. Pricing starts at $19,000 which seems like a lot of value. Honda plans to expand several other model lines to hybrid versions and has hopes of selling 500,000 annually by 2015.
