I love the environmentalists that are what I term the end of worlders. End of the worlders are people that predict the destruction of the earth by man. First it was the never ending winter, now its global warming or even more recently climate change. It’s hard to take a lot of these people seriously. I mean when they say things like if we don’t stop producing x by 2010 the effects on the earth are irreversible. Um you are right sort of… I mean climate does change if it didn’t I would be living underneath a huge lake known as Lake Bonneville. If the climate hadn’t changed we wouldn’t have Yosemite or the heart of the environmental movement John Muir. Fact the earth’s climate has changes all along. The real question is this: are these changes man made? This is another post for another day when I have the energy to debate this.

The people that believe that man is changing the climate believe that if we stop using oil we will stop climate change. I am skeptical but.. Again that’s another post. So how do we stop our use of oil? Do technologies develop themselves over night? No!!! How long has it taken the United States to develop its oil based economic machine? It started in the later half of the 1800’s. Do we really think that changing our use of oil to another fuel is possible in 5 years? 10? 15? 25? Or will it take another century to change? The environmentalists seem to think they can fix this in a few short years? To do it they would need the might of the US Government. This frightens me. Government has its problems like the insatiable appetite for money, the poor management of management by committee and many more. If the environmentalists can change our oil economy to another; what is the cost economically? Most environmentalists lean towards the democrats’ policy views. The democrats have a view of taxing and wealth redistribution. They aren’t fans of business and development of technology through business innovations but through taxing and government oversight. The government is a poor inventor of technology and more often than not is an inhibitor of invention. The free market will solve any problem faster and more efficiently than any government.

This post was inspired by a clip from Newt Gingrich about how to solve the current cost of oil. It is something I have believed all along.

Step 1. Get the Speculators Out of the Equation
Step 2. Get Government intervention Out of the Equation
Step 3. Let business and technology advance to solve our Energy problems.



A man with a plan and a vision... Why can't more of our government leaders do this?

I love Dennis Miller... Here is a clip from Fox News that makes me laugh.
Not very many people have the guts to take on the greenies and their over zealous appeal to save the planet from our selves.
