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.

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 […]

I’ll give you a moment to stop laughing and clean the tears from your eyes….ready? With Obamacare imploding around his ears, with the deficit continuing to skyrocket, with record debt, record numbers of people out of jobs in the long term, historic numbers of Americans giving up on getting a job in despair, running without […]

Funny how “green” energy sources which are supposed to “save the biosphere” keep killing so much life, wouldn’t you say? (Breitbart (and before any Warmist complains about this being Breitbart, it is actually a UPI story) Wind turbines killed at least 600,000 — and possibly as many as 900,000 — bats in the United States […]

Can I color you shocked? Actually, I’m shocked that the Associated Press allowed this story to be published, and that WRAL here in Raleigh picked it up (but quickly buried it in the archives) The secret, dirty cost of Obama’s green power push The hills of southern Iowa bear the scars of America’s push for […]

What happens when all these supposedly “green” companies that received taxpayer “loans” from Obama’s Stimulus collapse? (Fox News) A Colorado-based solar company that got hundreds of millions of dollars in federal loan guarantees before going belly-up didn’t just empty taxpayers’ wallets – it left behind a toxic mess of carcinogens, broken glass and contaminated water, […]

I’ve mentioned before that one of the things that annoys me about Warmists is that the fold every real environmental issue under the “climate change” banner, marginalizing the real issue. Here’s an enviro, Jim Steele, who has a problem, too (Mercury News) About 10 years ago, while working to restore watershed and wildlife habitat, Steele […]

That’s the headline on the front page of the Washington Post, slightly different at the story page Hunkered down in a converted shipping container stationed in a San Francisco parking lot, three young entrepreneurs are tinkering with the DNA of ordinary plants in the hopes of being able to mass produce a variety that glows […]

Kinda tells you how far they’ve gone from the core mission, eh? (via Junk Science) (Reuters) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will take one of the biggest hits of any federal agency if the government shuts down this week, operating with under 7 percent of its employees, according to guidance issued by the agency. Among […]

This is the conclusion of an actual study (Salon) Why don’t people behave in more environmentally friendly ways? New research presents one uncomfortable answer: They don’t want to be associated with environmentalists. That’s the conclusion of troubling new research from Canada, which similarly finds support for feminist goals is hampered by a dislike of feminists. Sadly, the […]
