John Fund: Let's Be Gone With The Wind
Efficient only as a bird killer. President Obama likes to talk about making sure “the biggest corporations pay their fair share.” Treasury secretary Tim Geithner calls for tax reform to close loopholes and subsidies. Budget hawks say federal spending must be curbed. Congress and federal environmental regulators claim they are doing ... MOREWashington Times: Saving Gas, Wasting Lives
Costly consequences of the new fuel-efficiency standards. President Obama’s latest fuel-efficiency decree means consumers will have to turn in their SUVs and pickup trucks for tiny, European-style city cars within the next few years. It’s also likely to produce another, more costly consequence: a lot more death on America’s roads. Last month, ... MORERobert Zubrin: Dethrone The EPA
Prosperity through liberty or depression by strangulation. The current presidential campaign hinges on jobs and the economy. Yet most of the debate has centered on peripheral issues such as the Bush tax cut, when there is a Tyrannosaurus in the room that is being virtually ignored. That monster is the EPA. The EPA is today the primary enemy of ... MOREZack Colman: Obama, EPA Move Toward Cap-And-Trade
Pushing up fuel costs. President Obama’s use of executive authority and his Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) interpretation of existing laws might have laid the groundwork for renewed cap-and-trade efforts, political experts said Wednesday. The courts have approved many of the EPA’s pollution regulations, giving Obama license to propose new rules, former EPA Administrator Carol Browner said during a Politico-hosted panel discussion at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.... MOREJeffrey Folks: Is EPA Just Sloppy Or Cooking The Books?
Perverting science to attain a "higher" political end. After issuing a hastily compiled report last year claiming a direct link between groundwater contamination and hydraulic fracturing at Pavillion, Wyoming, the EPA now admits that it may be wrong. Or, it may be, it was intentionally cooking the books. The only question now is whether the findings ... MOREGary Jason: Like The Price Of Gas? Just Wait!
Obama's post-November plans for our energy sector. The worthy journalists of the mainstream media have not seen fit to raise urgent questions about the soaring price of gas, and the current administration's role in causing it. Contrast that with the intensely critical commentary directed at George W. Bush when gas spiked during the latter part of his tenure ... MOREDavid Harsanyi: Obama Gets His Way With Oil Prices
Aren't high gas prices what Democrats want? Gas prices are spiking. That's great news, right? We have to wean ourselves off the stuff. At least that's what we've been hearing for years. Oil is dirty. We import it from nations that hate our guts (like Canada!). And moreover, we're running out. Oil is "finite." Finite much in the way water is finite. So why aren't ... MORERichard N. Weltz: Government Just Messes Things Up
How's all that government meddling working out for ya? Back in the heyday of the old Soviet Union an agricultural commissar from the Ukraine was summoned to the Agricultural Ministry in Moscow to report on the year's potato crop. "Ah, Comrade Minister," said the commissar, beaming, "If all the potatoes harvested this year were put into a single pile .... MORE
