Is Nuclear Power Really Dangerous?
Coal, oil and even solar power all kill more people than the much maligned nuclear power. According to research, for every terrawatt of energy produced, coal kills 161 people. Oil costs 36 lives for the same amount of energy.
Nuclear, however, causes only 0.04 deaths per terrawatt produced.
To put it another way, for every person who dies as a result of nuclear power, 4,000 people die due to coal.
One Question for Al Gore
How much warmer will the globe get before I freeze to death?

Global Warming is a Joke even in D.C.
Are Obama and Gore and the eco-leftist freaks and carbon credit scammers giving up on global warming? We haven’t heard much from Gore in over a years ever since the email scandal came to light, The Carbon Trading lunacy fell apart, and Obama didn’t mention Climate Change in his SOTU speech last week.
Some say the Carol Browner resignation as Glo-bull Warming Czar is an important catalyst, and that the issue has become politically unpopular. Besides, with the weather we are having this winter, you could freeze to death in your lil’ electric car if caught in a snowstorm.
“Browner doesn’t want to be in a position where she’s going to be open to a lot of shots especially with the new Republican House and not be able to do what she wants to do because Obama’s going to be focused on reelection and running terrified of the man-made global warming issue,” ClimateDepot.com proprietor Marc Morano told CNSNews.com.
“The new political expediency is skepticism. Man-made global warming is the new butt of jokes in Washington.”
A reminder from a commenter:

Carbon Trading Market nears collapse
Now that the fictional carbon credits are trading for as low as ten cents per ton, it seems the faux Global Warming crisis is fading away. It’s not dead yet, but people are being laid off, offices closed, and sneaky shits like Al gore and Maurice Strong pocketing their tens of millions of profits.
From prisonplanet.com:
Plagued by a free fall in carbon emissions prices and the perennial failure of Washington to pass any binding Cap and Trade Bill, it seems that the Chicago Climate Exchange is on its last leg, announcing that it will be scaling back its operations.
Global Warming was a hoax perpetuated by an elite few to get in front of the massive transfer of wealth from average citizens to themselves by manipulating government funding. Without politicians able to pull off the swindle, climate change is blowing away in the wind.
The Great Collapse of the Chicago Climate Exchange is happening because the oceans didn’t rise, the ice caps melted in summer and refroze in winter, and polar bears knew how to swim all along.
Alaska Offshore Oil Drilling…Gone With the Wind?
Here’s three smiling guys happy to be walking down the hallway in close proximity to a real live movie st … star … er, wait … That’s SARAH PALIN!
Shouldn’t it be illegal to be 45 and a grandmother and look this fab?
Oh, yeah, there’s totally a reason for this post. Governor Palin wasted her time testified before windmill hugging Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar in a federal hearing in Anchorage, urging the NObama administration to stand by Salazar’s confirmation hearing statement favoring “wise, responsible use of conventional fuels,” such as the oil and gas resources found in abundance in the Outer Continental Shelf.
Unfortunately, Salazar isn’t going to listen to a word Governor Palin has to say when she pushes for “Drill here, drill now.” He’s a windmill cheerleader who is rooting for all those non-existent offshore windmills to product 1 million megawatts of unicorn farts electrical power.
Global Warming Scientists May Freeze to Death
“We’re hungry, the cold is relentless, our sleeping bags are full of ice,” stranded North Pole expedition leader Pen Hadow said in e-mailed statement. “Waiting is almost the worst part of an expedition as we’re in the lap of the weather gods.”
Do We Worry About Global Warming … After Armaggedon?
There are global threats abound – like a nuclear bomb happy Iran, the maniacle dictator with nuclear aspirations in North Korea, a flush-with-cash China building a shock-and-awe Navy, a failing former ally in Pakistan, and other serious growing problems, yet the United States is headed by an inexperienced, naive, and pathological narcissistic young President who is reportedly “facing exhaustion over America’s economic crisis and is unable to focus on foreign affairs.”
Obonga still has a 58% approval rating so its not like the unwashed masses have awoke from their Kool-Aid slumber and realized “The Won” isn’t “the one.” Maybe a few of them still read the left-wing rag, Newsweek, and caught Robert Samuelson‘s calling out of The Teleprompter One:
Barack Obama is a great pretender. He constantly says he’s doing things that he isn’t, and he relies on his powerful rhetoric to obscure the difference. He has made “responsibility” a personal theme, and the budget’s cover line is “A New Era of Responsibility.” He claims that the budget begins “making the tough choices necessary to restore fiscal discipline.” It doesn’t.
A prudent president would have made a “tough choice”— concentrated on the economy, deferred his more contentious agenda. Similarly, Obama claims to seek bipartisanship but, in reality, doesn’t.
It is Obama’s conceit—perhaps his cockiness—that he can ignore blatant inconsistencies. Like many smart people, he believes he can talk his way around any problem. Perhaps he can. In this, he has an ally in much of the mainstream media, which seem so enthralled with him that they can’t recognize glaring contradictions. During the campaign, Obama claimed he would change Washington’s petty partisanship; he also advocated a highly partisan agenda. Both claims could not be true. The media barely noticed; the same obliviousness persists. But Obama still runs a risk: that his overworked rhetoric loses its power and boomerangs on him.”
How Hollywood Taught Her NOT to Behave
“Why was our earth – a tough, 4.5 billion year old, battle-scarred bitch who had survived more cataclysms than we’ll ever know and who will be fully capable of reinventing herself well beyond our extinction – suddenly a “delicate, fragile” pie crust planet pushed to the brink of destruction by a mere century of fossil fuel emissions? How could a generation raised under the cloud of pending ice age doom so unquestioningly embrace the opposite theory within the blink of an eye?”
…I then tried countering the rising tide of cyber panic with humor. Did my writer, director and actor friends know, for example, that the largest, land roving dinosaur measured about 2/3 the length of a football field, traveled in herds that consumed entire forests for lunch and eliminated several tons of excrement each?” Talk about greenhouse gases!

Palin and Graham ‘Remember Marshall’
Gov. Sarah Palin and evangelist Franklin Graham flew out of Wasilla Airport this morning to the villages of Russian Mission and Marshall about 400 miles west of Anchorage to deliver 44,000 pounds of food to needy families.
Graham, a pilot, flew with Gov. Palin in one of the two King Air propeller planes owned by his charity organization.
The village of Marshall has been hard hit during this harsh winter due to global warming *cough* unusually cold temperatures, the bad economy, and having to pay enormous costs for heating fuel.
“The long-term solution is job opportunities in these areas,” Palin told reporters.

Dear Leader is a Wuss
The New York Times had an interesting tidbit on Mr Rainbow Unicorns … “The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.”
Cranked. Up. the. thermostat. That sniveling Chicago wuss! I’ll bet Sarah keeps her office in Juneau a coolish 67 degrees!
We need not be reminded what Obama said last summer: “We can’t drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we’re living in the desert or we’re living in the tundra, and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world’s energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we’ll be fine. Don’t worry about us. That’s not leadership.”
you, pal, ain’t leadership either.
Man Bear Pig Soldiers on Alone
With scientists falling by the wayside, no longer able to support the global warming scan, Man Bear Pig is keeping the drive alive with an appearance today in Washington DC to promote his Climate Change Scam – despite frigid temperatures in the region. Quote the Goracle to congress:
Quickly building our capacity to generate clean electricity will lay the groundwork for the next major step needed: placing a price on carbon. If Congress acts right away to pass President Obama’s Recovery package and then takes decisive action this year to institute a cap-and-trade system for CO2 emissions – as many of our states and many other countries have already done – the United States will regain its credibility and enter the Copenhagen treaty talks with a renewed authority to lead the world in shaping a fair and effective treaty. And this treaty must be negotiated this year. Not next year. This year.
A fair, effective and balanced treaty will put in place the global architecture that will place the world – at long last and in the nick of time – on a path toward solving the climate crisis and securing the future of human civilization.
The hoax that Man Bear Pig Al Gore is pedalling is destroying businesses and entire industries. He getting rich ($100 million and counting) on carbon credit scams because he wants pay back for losing the 2000 election.
