By the left attacking our energy sector, costs for power go up, and thus manufacturers ship jobs to China, where power is developed with no regard to cleanliness – with the end result being more CO2. Also, their economy grows while ours shrinks. The same irrational thought concerns the Keystone pipeline: The oil sands are going to be refined by us or China. Here, it produces tens of thousands of jobs, from construction to refining to shipping and in as clean a method as possible. There, it will be dirty again. Our economy grows or China’s does. Of course, it won’t be shipped on dangerous rail by Warren Buffett’s railroad. Then, Buffett is one of Obama’s pals. Hmm.

Fourteen years ago, Al Gore said that by now, the Arctic ice cap would be gone, and most of Florida would be underwater. Well, we know the cap has grown immensely. Also, more than 97 percent of computer climate models have failed to match reality.

Garbage in, garbage out. It is political. It’s all about getting higher taxes from industries the left doesn’t like.
