2 Cents Worth for December ‘09

Still scattershooting with these ideas and opinions that are worth at least the advertised price.
With the price we just paid to Nebraska for Nelson’s vote on the Health Care bill we should own the State.  I mean it will add up to billions of dollars over time.   How much can all the assets in Nebraska [...]

Science, Sunshine and the Climate Debate

The Miracles of Man and Nature Will Save Us–If

The House has passed out of committee the Cap and Tax law to reduce carbon and other emissions.  This is in conjunction with and in addition to the CAFE standard increases that have  been announced by the White House to great fanfare.  All of this is done to protect us from ourselves and to save [...]

Satirical(?) Fix for Global Warming

We are inundated with news constantly that we are all going to die, or at least our progeny, in the not too distant future as a result of the man-made Global  Warming.   We are assured that the science is solid and there is no dispute about the conclusion.  Of course data is a hard thing [...]
