[...] McCain, the 3rd election loser to be mentioned in this weeks round-up, has decided that Waxman-Malarkey is a farce. Not for the right reasons, but a farce nonetheless: “They bought every industry [...]

Interesting that McCain, a pretend “Republican”, even has the gumption to speak on this or any other issue. The fact that his is still, nominally, a “public servant” speaks volumes of Arizona’s common sense.

Now, Nuke power is the way to go. I consider it to be a stop gap measure, certainly, till such a time as Quantum Theory is more completely understood and can be utilized. Additionally, new power plant designs and advances in materials and construction techniques have shed much of the “fear factors” of previous designs.
Go Nuke, or go away.

Side note;
Petroleum is far too valuable a commodity to be poring into our gas tanks. Many more uses (plastics, pharma, agriculture, ad nauseam).

The truth is, people want economical power, they want ethical business guiding real change to produce power. The jury is still out on greenhouse gases, I’ve read scientists from both sides of this issue, the gloom and doom scientists point to industry and peoples carbon footprint while the others point to historic models and natural elements driving climate change. One has to question the validity of industy being the real reason for climate change when science puts such a small percentage to industry and people really impacting climate change. Other countries aren’t willing to bankrupt their country for such an ill-concieved legislative mumbo-jumbo.

It is unfortunate that Senator McCain is buying into global warming at all. It is not happening ……. and anthropogenic global warming has never been and never will be a danger.

The joke is that not only will the cap and trade not do anything for the climate but reducing C02 emmissions will not do anything for the climate. Earth’s temperatures are cooling all by themselves. However the cap and trade will do harm to the economy and to every individual in the county. The politians know this. The scientists know this. The citizens are starting to learn this. I am sure this hoax will be the downfall of climate science and maybe the political system.

I am glad that there is some measure of sanity in Washington. Waxman bill proposes a worst case scenario. No matter what your conclusions are about global warming, people are going to be harmed significantly and enormous amounts are going to be wasted, and all for an insignificant reduction in a minor greenhouse gas.

JavaPoppa, McCain is doing what he thinks is right. The fact that he is wrong is at this point immaterial. The good thing about people like McCain is that if they can be shown they are wrong, they change. Compare to a party-liner who will bow down to whatever gets them in power and you will probably agree.

As for Hansen, while the enemy of my enemy isn’t my friend (and I certainly will not tolerate Hansen’s baseless accusation of big-oil writing the bill), this goes to show what a horrible bill it is and he will be instrumental in defeating it.

McCain is still not to be trusted on this issue. In other recent comments he has said that something still needs to be done with regard to climate change. The conceit that the Congress has the ability to alter our climate is still deeply ingrained in him.

If only McCain could be made to understand that none of the “do something” proposals would work, be desirable, or even necessary!

You would think a man tortured by communist barbarians wouldn’t be scared of the weather…

Nuclear power unarguably has the most potential in my mind.
