Kicking Canada Until the Toes Bleed

Canada's new best friend ... China:
No one's telling Russia it has to make cars that plug into walls or put windmills atop the Kremlin. Instead, the West will probably just keep kicking Canada until its own toes bleed.
Hot Air weighs in.

Wind is a Disgrace ...

... says The Duke:
In a withering assault on the onshore wind turbine industry, the Duke said the farms were “a disgrace”.

He also criticised the industry’s reliance on subsidies from electricity customers, claimed wind farms would “never work” and accused people who support them of believing in a “fairy tale”.
... how about that, there's at least one intelligent person among the British elite.

But does it matter ... indeed, does it?

Ramblings of an Eco-maniac

... from jail:
But come 2012, the climate movement will still face that arrogant taunt, “Whaddaya gonna do? Let a Republican win?” If this movement is ever going to get serious political power, the answer needs to be yes. This is where things get dirty. Like any abusive relationship, this movement will always be taken for granted if it’s not willing to turn its back on Obama. He needs to lose, and everyone needs to know it was us.

It's Time for a New Turn of Phrase

... Doing a Krugman:
I cannot understand why Paul Krugman is held in such high esteem as an economist when he does not understand the simple fact that solar is not economic because it only supplies power when the sun is shining, not when the customer needs it. Maybe that is not in Krugman’s Economics 101 but it is definitely in Common Sense 101. In simple terms he may understand , when everyone supplies potatoes at the same moment to the market the product is not worth much - this Dr Krugman, is called a glut- maybe you have heard of the term.
