Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish — Doing Better on Climate Change
The Boxer-Lieberman-Warner (S 2191) cap-and-trade bill died a death Friday when it couldn’t get past a Republican filibuster.The bill would have created a carbon cap and trade emissions market that would have required power plants, refineries and factories to pay for the privileges of polluting the environment and contributing to global warming. This bill aims […]
Liberalgeek Reporting from the SEU Meeting
I was able to make it to the SEU meeting today to see where this task force is going. Charlie Copeland was not in attendance, but there was no problem getting a quorum this time. It was better attended than the previous one in terms of the public as well. There were about 25 people […]

Copeland Vows to Stop Attending SEU Meetings
I must have hit a nerve with my post earlier. Charlie Copeland dropped me an email to fill me in on his stance after he spoke to Tyler Nixon. I was unaware of the expiration of the SEU oversight board. I spoke with Tyler Nixon about it earlier today, and I will no longer attend […]

Report from the SEU Meeting
Things are quiet here at work this week, so I had some time to make it out to the SEU meeting at the Buena Vista Conference Center. I have never been to one of these sorts of meetings before, so I was a bit tentative. Luckily, there were some pretty smart and experienced people on […]
LiberalGeek Question of the Day
With all apologies to Donviti, I have a question. Can we all agree that Ethanol is a failure and that we need to bail out on it before we tar all alternative energies as bad ideas? I believe that we make mistakes. Ethanol is one of them and the sooner we cut bait on it, […]
I Wish Al Gore Had Been Appointed President
Al Gore has a new slideshow on climate change. He has some stunning updates to his Inconvenient Truth. It is a 28 minute video, but it is chock full of good data and some pretty funny commentary. Even better, it can be downloaded and there is even an iPod ready download.
Gerald Hocker Takes a Page Out of the Bush/Cheney Playbook
Gerald Hocker apparently doesn’t like that Maria Evans called him out on being so wrong about wind power. He has a guest post up on WGMD’s blog (of all places). The strategy appears to be to throw out as much BS as possible, in hopes of people hearing it so much that they start to […]
