Dick Cheney Pushed For Major Deletions In Climate Change Testimony?

That’s the story, but using common sense I deduce that a more accurate way to put that would be “Dick Cheney pushed to erase exaggerations of climate change consequences from testimony.”

Because that’s probably what this was about. The government climate change nuts wanted to testify about doom, gloom and apocalypse and the Vice President wanted to rein that in to something a bit more connected to reality.

On a related note, you notice how the global warming disciples have been working to change the name of their movement from a “global warming” crisis to a “climate change” crisis? Sort of how the left has been working to change their label from “liberals” to “progressives.”

Good marketing, I suppose, especially given how inconvenient all those photos of “global warming” activists protesting in the snow have been.

Your onto something,Rob. The estimated life of a wind turbine is seven years. Add in the fact that the wind only blows about 1/3 of the time, one might safely conclude the venerable Mr. Pickens just might be making a play for that $23 per MWH federal susidy.

Until something better comes along, we need to start drilling and not stop until domestic oil constitutes 75% of our consumption--instead of 27%, which is where we are now, thanks to our political leadership. That might take awhile, but not nearly as long as waiting for wind and solar to get there.
