Bjørn Lomborg: Blowing It On The Wind
The hot air surrounding wind power. When
considering climate change, most people think wind turbines and solar
panels are a big part of the solution. But, over the next 25 years, the
contribution of solar and wind power to resolving the problem will be
trivial – and the cost will be enormous. The International Energy Agency estimates
that ... MOREBrian Doherty: Environmental Protection Agency Dumps A Million Gallons Of Orange Mine Waste Into A Colorado River
Pollution is fine, as long as government does it. Disturbing news of a real make-work program from the Environmental Protection Agency, reported by Associated Press via Huffington Post: A million-gallon mine waste spill that sent a plume of orange-ish muck down a river in southwest Colorado on Thursday was caused by a federal mine ... MOREMore Executive Overreach, This Time from the EPA
by Ilya Shapiro. Power brokers and their dictates. The Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday in Michigan v. EPA,

mercury emissions from power plants. The EPA’s proposed regulations are
expected ... MOREEPA Targets Backyard Burger And Wiener Roasts
by Paul Bedard. The Environmental Protection Agency has its eyes on pollution from backyard barbecues. The agency announced
that it is funding a University of California project to limit
emissions resulting in grease drippings with a special tray to catch
them and a "catalytic" filtration system. The $15,000 project has the "potential for ... MOREJohn Stossel: Earth Daze
Blinded by their "political" science. "The heavens reek, the waters below are foul ... we are in a crisis of survival." That's how Walter Cronkite and CBS hyped the first Earth Day, back in 1970. Somehow we've survived since then, and most of life got better, although I never hear that from the worrywarts. Of course, some things got better ... MOREMichael Bastasch: EPA Tested Deadly Pollutants On Humans
For the Obama administration's agenda. The Environmental Protection Agency has been conducting dangerous
experiments on humans over the past few years in order to justify more
onerous clean air regulations. The agency conducted tests on people with health issues and the
elderly, exposing them to high levels of potentially lethal ... MOREObama Considers More Costly Regulations For Oil Sector

Cold-Hearted EPA Wants More Regulations On Wood Stoves
Feds make staying warm 25 percent more expensive. The Environmental Protection Agency wants to place new regulations on wood-burning stoves and fireplaces replacing the current guidelines which were adopted in 1988. The EPA claims their new regulations would reduce emissions by 80 percent. "What they're asking now is really ... MOREThe Chilling Effect Of EPA's Wood-Burning Stove Ban
by Larry Bell. Where's global warming when we need it? It seems that even wood isn’t green or renewable enough anymore. The EPA has recently banned the production and sale of 80 percent of America’s current wood-burning stoves, the oldest heating method known to mankind and mainstay of rural homes and many of our ... MORERonald Bailey: The Top 5 Lies About Fracking
A campaign of deception. Gasland Part
II, the sequel to director/activist Josh Fox's earlier
anti-fracking docudrama Gasland, will run on HBO next
Monday. It appears to have rounded up the usual corporate villains
and appealing victims of profit-hungry capitalist skullduggery,
rather than telling the more substantial story: that ... MOREJulian Hattem: EPA Set To Deploy Host Of New Regulations
Administration to unveil new obstacles to job growth. The Obama administration is looking forward to a host of new environmental regulations that go far beyond the president's plans to issue new standards for greenhouse gas emissions from new and existing power plants. The new regulations, previewed in the administration's ... MORE
John Stossel - Green Tyranny
Green intentions, black results. Environmental activists and politicians would like you to think that we must love their regulations -- or hate trees and animals. I love trees and animals. But you can love nature and still hate the tyranny that environmental regulations bring. The Environmental Protection Agency just announced it ... MORENCPA Research: Green Cars Are Not So Clean After All
Green vehicles are polluting and wasteful. Electric and hybrid cars were lauded as a cure for climate change and carbon emissions. Though electric vehicles are zero emissions, only 50,000 were sold in 2012 -- well short of the number needed to achieve President Obama's goal of 1 million green cars on the road by 2015. While ...
