CAPTAIN CLUCKER:” HEAR YE! HEAR YE! HEAR YE! The second meeting of the “CLUCKER COMMISSION” (my chickens self-assigned this name) is now in session. All those wishing to present nominations for the “MORON OF THE YEAR/YOU MIGHT BE A MORON” award, come forth and make your presentation.”
If ever there was a dead donkey to kick again, it’s this one, especially in the Northeast. Windfarms and solar installations will never keep us warm in the Winter. Absent a nuclear ramp-up with some hydro and natural gas backup, the all-electric future is not one coming soon, but Winter is!
So once again, it’s back to Treehugger – and this time, it isn’t about tech stuff, or Government (per se) but an individual’s morality and that would be Lloyd.
For all of the fine-sounding words, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) does one thing: takes money from some so that Government will spend it elsewhere.
If we can keep Democrats from ruining the Granite State, we’re in great shape for years to come. Every state around us has gone full-stupid (or close to it), punishing their residents with higher taxes and regulations. Add to that their epic cash grab disguised as a “climate” gas tax, and you can stick a … Read more
It’s instructive when a bureaucrat says, “I can’t even say this publicly.” That is exactly the sort of thing that the people who pay his salary (you folks) need to hear. So, it’s lucky for us it was recorded so that we can share it.
Whatever our thoughts may be about Chris Sununu regarding Emergency orders (not good, if you didn’t notice), he got this one right. New Hampshire, along with Maine, has opted not to sign on to the Transportation Climate Initiative memorandum of understanding.
How are your electric bills? Heating bills? The cost of Gas? Are they too low? Isn’t it annoying when the government helps you to save money? Do you need help making those bills grow? Is energy independence for America a bad thing?
The Democrats zeal for raising your gas taxes by giving taxing powers to unelected regional bureaucrats is illegal in New Hampshire. Before they can attempt to do it (and they want to), they need to make it legal. SB610 is the enabling legislation.
The Transportation Climate Initiative is like a pretty girl who suddenly can’t get a date. Or a pretty boy, or boy-girl, or girl boy, genderless penguin, Trans-Whale Horseshoe crab, or whatever. Sold as the darling of the ball TCI finds itself facing rejected yet again.
The Transportation and Climate Initiative is a “regional collaboration of 12 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states (to) reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector.” It claims New Hampshire as a partner, but that is currently against the law.
By Andrew Cline, Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy If San Francisco tech bro hipsters invented a carbon-free way to generate power 24/7, they would be hailed as saviors of the planet. Though they might yet come up with some use for a venti Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino, the energy technology in question predates them … Read more
On November 4th the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office issued a press release announcing that it will join “24 States, Cities, and counties” in defense of the EPA’s clean power plan (CPP). There are 18 states involved in this ‘defense’ posture, half of whom are already bound up by a the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. These RGGI … Read more
ICECAP Trouble Ahead…Administration has Its Head in the Sand By Joseph D’Aleo, CCM Hudson Litchfield News In 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle that his cap-and-trade proposal to control greenhouse gas emissions would mean higher energy prices for Americans. “Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket,” Obama … Read more
This past Saturday during our radio program, “Meet the New Press” (podcasts here) I gave co-host Pat Hynes (AnkleBitingPundits) the needle about “his guy”, John McCain, the latest politician to climb aboard the “man is the cause of global warming” bandwagon. As someone who refuses to buy into that notion, I am becoming more distressed by the day … Read more
The emerging battle against wind generated power rages on. As I noted in this earlier posting on the topic, President Bush says our nation is "addicted" to foreign oil and that we must pull out all the stops in a quest for alternative energy. What could be better than harnessing the wind? We must all work … Read more
