I'm sick and tired of this, as a scientist I continually say "we are a carbon based species on a carbon based planet and we NEED it to survive". CO2 is needed in soil to start plant growth. The dinosaurs flourished with 15% CO2 in atmosphere and so did the plants they ate. Dead biological beings in the soil BECOME coal and oil and tar for our future use. We HAVE enough to be energy self-sufficient. Every planet in the solar system has warmed up...and there are no humans on those planets.....scientists continue testing around Greenland for ice loss when the North Pole has moved 40 miles closer to Moscow in the Artic, which means Greenland is 40 miles closer to equator!!!! I have had enough of the administrations Lies and misdirection

also we could reduce the cost of our gasoline tremendously if our limited refineries didn't have to produce so many versions/grades of gasoline for various municipalities/states.

John, agree with all you said as usual, my point I continually make though is that Saudi's have maxed out on their pumping of raw crude and are actually drilling at angles near the Kwati border, the prince continually tells us they are doing ALL they can do. Problem with our own oil supply is this: we've never really had a shortage of OIL, but we have had shortage of the refined oil products such as gasoline because we are continually at 100% production and most of our refineries located along gulf coast and fuel for winter has to be shipped north stopping gas production. We need more refineries...bottom line or all that oil won't matter. v/r Dr. Jim Gschwind

He's stepped in it this time. You know everyone think Pelosi is most hated or dangerous woman in DC...I disagree, most of the time Obama is scared to death of Valerie Jared and does whatever she asks/demands....including this latest fiasco. It is common knowledge that Jared served as a "blocker" between her so called boss (who we kidding?) Obama and Hillary/Paneta team that was seeking a "green light" against UBL. Jared convinced him to keep telling them "he'll sleep on it". That's why they had to perform an "end run" and get the green light after they launched the mission without Jared around......Jared is truly the real power in the White House and probably the real reason Daley left right after the "inside" abortion debate in Jan.

Love it....keep up good work. You failed to mention how the high mercury content in these new "approved" light bulbs being improperly dumped in land fills actually contributes more mercury to the water table and eventually the fish I love to eat than emissions. Let's also not forget that they won't reverse their ethanol standards even after scientists (Gore even admitted it) found ethanol causes more harm to the atmosphere than carbon ever could. Enjoyed it. v/r Dr. Jim Gschwind

Emmet, excellent...I've had experience with Newt's narcism before. I worked in DC in the mid 80s and was on Reagans inaugural committee and was assistant to the Director Naval Intel Admiral John Butts back then (a gentleman by the way, rare breed who used to claim he really felt out of his element in DC) and had to personally take messages or material by hand all over the place to individuals like Ollie North and Gates and nobody even heard of Gingrich back then. So his claims that HE and Reagan did so much is a bunch of baloney. Refer to my article last week in Townhall (Newt....You are NOT Reagan, by Rennaissanceman). His problem is his mouth works faster than his brain. Keep up good work. v/r Dr. Jim Gschwind

I agree and in fact I wrote about the same comparison happening today using the Whigs as an example in an article I wrote for townhall (Rennaissanceman....) last year but I glad I'm not the only one who sees this new party splinter happening...it just took some others time to see it full force during the primaries which brought it out to the fore front. Keep up the good writing and work. v/r Dr. Jim Gschwind

Dr. Sowell, you forgot to mention that a high speed rail line along the coast would also cross over a few well known faults....sounds like a mess to me.

How true it is......Couldn't have said it better. Keep up the good work. I'm from Florida and was shocked to see Jeb endorse Christ initially and had to back up when Christ started showing his true colors. Sickening but sad because Jeb was a loved and well respected governor here in Florida and his endorsement was the ONLY reason someone (rino) like Christ got elected. Jeb used to actually read and reply personally to all his own emails as governor, now THAT is a leader.
