Years ago they admitted that they only added ethanol to gas for the farm vote. It takes more energy to produce ethanol than you get from burning it. It is a losing proposition. I read yesterday that it takes more energy to create a wind turbine than they get in a lifetime running one. all just feel-good and vote getting deals.

They don't mention maintaining the turbine or repairing it....... but I supose that's included in there somewhere. I'm sure replacing a bad bearing 400 feet in the air isn't a $100 part and a 2 hour repair.
I live relatively close to the biggest wind farm in California, which is near Palm Springs. I guess they have an entire crew of guys who maintain the thousands of wind generators. I know it is big business, but I know they really dropped off in production after the California solar tax breaks subsided.
Those turbines kill hundreds, maybe thousands of birds every year. Many are eagles.
Unfortunately, the hydroelectric plants kill millions of fish, the coal producers kill humans, the nuclear reactors kill everything in their path, and hell, even candles placed in a home kill thousands a year. Maybe we should just sit in the darkness and watch the eagles crap on our heads? 
That's what they want.
Everything has it's costs/benefits. If you believe human caused global warming means a rapid demise of life on earth, then your cost/benefit to a paticular power choice is going to be different than mine.

Every species that has lived on this planet before us has become extinct. Why should we be different?
We will. In the mean time, I want to hear 10,000 PH drag race engines, not electric ones. They are fast too, but the soothing 8 cylinder engine roar is well worth the heinous carbon footprint they lay on the track.
Drinking beer and watching funny cars is much more fun than drinking ice tea and watching (not hearing) electric cars. (maybe they could clip playing cards to their wheels like we did on bicycle spokes as kids)

By [1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions.
Thats already happening and has been in africa for decades.
In January 1970, Life reported, Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half .
Happens in china on a daily basis.
Some are far fetched, this guy is an extremist.
Your origional post s from Fox news. Need I say anything else when every country in the world recognizes that climate change is real and we as humans have a hand in it.
You can find American scientists who were offered money to be pro global warming, wonder how many in other countries were forced to believe that side?
Paris Accord
Not only does this deal subject our citizens to harsh economic restrictions, it fails to live up to our environmental ideals. As someone who cares deeply about the environment, which I do, I cannot in good conscience support a deal that punishes the United States -- which is what it does - the worlds leader in environmental protection, while imposing no meaningful obligations on the worlds leading polluters.
For example, under the agreement, China will be able to increase these emissions by a staggering number of years -- 13. They can do whatever they want for 13 years. Not us. India makes its participation contingent on receiving billions and billions and billions of dollars in foreign aid from developed countries. There are many other examples. But the bottom line is that the Paris Accord is very unfair, at the highest level, to the United States.
Further, while the current agreement effectively blocks the development of clean coal in America -- which it does, and the mines are starting to open up. Were having a big opening in two weeks. Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, so many places. A big opening of a brand-new mine. Its unheard of. For many, many years, that hasnt happened. They asked me if Id go. Im going to try.
China will be allowed to build hundreds of additional coal plants. So we cant build the plants, but they can, according to this agreement. India will be allowed to double its coal production by 2020. Think of it: India can double their coal production. Were supposed to get rid of ours. Even Europe is allowed to continue construction of coal plants.
In short, the agreement doesnt eliminate coal jobs, it just transfers those jobs out of America and the United States, and ships them to foreign countries." "Im willing to immediately work with Democratic leaders to either negotiate our way back into Paris, under the terms that are fair to the United States and its workers, or to negotiate a new deal that protects our country and its taxpayers. So if the obstructionists want to get together with me, lets make them non-obstructionists. We will all sit down, and we will get back into the deal. And well make it good, and we wont be closing up our factories, and we wont be losing our jobs. And well sit down with the Democrats and all of the people that represent either the Paris Accord or something that we can do that's much better than the Paris Accord. And I think the people of our country will be thrilled, and I think then the people of the world will be thrilled. But until we do that, we're out of the agreement."
It reads to me that what he did is a good thing, and that they are working on a plan that is fair to all nations, not just all others.

You really thinks he cares about the country ? He did that for his shrinking base . Pulling out means there will be a high tariff put on our exports . Not good ..
Hmmm, seems the institute works for the Koch brothers.

Everything You Think You Know About Coal in China Is Wrong

Everything George Soros funds is wrong too.
I'm still waiting to see something he's done wrong. When something he does affects me personally in a negative way, then I'll view the arrogant jerk differently.
Attempting to stop illegal immigration by hiring more border patrol officers and attempting to fund the wall. That's bad? Ernesto's American Progress website refers to them as "unauthorized Immigrants" Wow.......... that's a new low.
Trump is trying as he promised, to stop the illegal entry of those folks that are doing jobs Americans wont do........ like flooring, roofing, framing, sheetrock and tile work. ..and trying to reduce rape, illegal drugs, gangs other criminal activity, drains on the US social systems like hospitals, schools and costs for courts and jail space. Not to mention the people they have maimed and killed on the roads. We have legal migration system set up. Why not enforce the laws on the books? ....it's finally being done.
That alone puts him head over heals above his election competitor as far as caring about this country . We had two bad choice this election period. I voted for the one that didn't want coal miners to go homeless. He wants jobs to return to the USA and seems he's doing good on that too.
He's arrogant yes........... but until he does me wrong, I can't complain. I like the temporary travel ban, I loooooved the Paris speech. We can be plenty clean without being under control of dozens of other nations voting power and the financial drain is another issue. We're the worlds piggy bank.
My biggest beef with him so far is his stupid twitter rants........ childish. He needs to stop doing those.
