Good News: Solar Plants Scorching Birds

Don’t forget, this is all sustainable and protects the environment or something (Washington Times) A new report by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finds that solar facilities in California are acting like “mega traps” that kill and injure birds. As a result, “entire food chains” are being disrupted. USFWS’s National Fish and Wildlife Forensics […]

Do You Prefer Long Pork Over Going Vegan?

I mentioned on Monday that Warmists really, really, really want Everyone Else to go vegetarian (probably at the barrel of Government law/regulation) in order to save Gaia from getting a fever some time in the far future. Well, here’s something interesting, via my favorite crazies at Grist Celebrity endorsements aside, converting to veganism remains a […]

Bummer: US Wind Projects Drop 93%. Oh, and Team Obama Is Stonewalling On Bird Deaths

There are many reason why wind projects can fall off the edge of the map. One is that people generally support these projects, until they are going to be build near where they live and/or can see them. Remember, the late Senator Ted Kennedy, along with John Kerry, fought hard against the Cape Wind Project. […]

Seattle Greenies Kill Trees For Surveillance Cameras

It’s a touch choice for Warmists/enviroweenies: trees and Big Brother? Since W/EWs are mostly progressives, ie “nice fascist”, they go for big brother (Victory Girls Blog) Seattle may be one of the most ‘green’ cities in the country, both literally and figuratively.  Unfortunately, it’s also known for two more things: excessive force by the police, […]

Surprise: Sochi Olympic Games Were An Environmental Disaster

While a bunch of whiny athletes (who took long fossil fueled trips to Sochi) whined about “climate change” and so many made a big deal about the 2014 Games being “carbon neutral” (they gave it a shot considering how often the water, toilets, electricity, and heating failed to work), here’s the real legacy (Fox News) […]

Deranged Envirowackos Demonstrate At Oil Exec’s House

How deranged? This deranged (Washington Free Beacon) Masked protesters carrying torches and threatening organized violence protested outside the home of an executive at a major oil pipeline company last week.

Ted Cruz: Enviroweenies Should Love Keystone XL

A nice bit of mental jujitsu, but Ted forgets that Keystone XL isn’t about environmentalism: it’s a cause celebre with the “climate change” cult, and they will not let go (especially as they drive their fossil fueled vehicles to the protests) (ABC News) If you love the environment, Sen. Ted Cruz says you should love […]

Team Obama Refuses To Allow Small Road Through Wildlife Refuge

A road that would give people access to medical care (via The Lonely Conservative) (CNS News) Environmental priorities have trumped the medical concerns of a small Alaskan community. After four years of study, the Obama administration has decided on that the isolated community of King Cove, Alaska may not build a 22-mile, single-lane gravel road […]

Coercive Government Strikes Deal On Cable Box Energy Efficiency

Did you know your cable/satellite dish box was an enormous sucker of power? (Grist) When you turn off your cable box, you may think it isn’t using any power. In fact, every electronic device uses some electricity as long as it’s plugged in. These energy suckers are known as “vampires” and they account for a […]

Good News: Wind Farms Get A Pass For Killing Eagles

So far, I can’t find any environmental groups, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, NRDC, Earth First, etc, who are outraged by this. Some link to news articles, but have offered no articles themselves (USA Today) The Obama administration said Friday it will allow some companies to kill or injure bald and golden eagles for up to 30 […]
