Tactics Change as Acceptance of Global Warming Demise Becomes Reality

While many on the environmental left continue to sing the praises of Al Gore and his global warming hoax, those of higher intellect have abandoned the myth. As with many great left-leaning government tax-and-control schemes, even though the supposed crisis is over, supporters still feel the need to continue pushing legislation to fight global warming. After all, it’s about control and greed. Here are some of the ideas I’ve gathered from liberal hubs around the internet after accepting that global warming is a myth:
1. Pollution is still bad. Yes, pollution is bad and I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a liberal or a conservative that would disagree with you. And while programs are already in place to cut pollution, such as more efficient combustion engines, recycling programs and even nuclear energy, the economic impact of global warming legislation would be detrimental to our planet.
2. We must get off oil-based fuel before supply runs out. There’s plenty of supply. It’s the environmentalists that won’t let us get to it. The United States hasn’t built a refinery in 30 years. We haven’t built new nuclear facilities because of unfounded fears of a Chernobyl-like event. And even those same environmentalists have stopped clean wind farms from being built off the coast of Nantucket (I’m looking at you, Senator Kennedy). How can we possibly move forward as a country when the environmentalists stop us as every turn?
3. The price of gas still needs to be high to curb usage and create less dependency on foreign oil. So you want to raise the price of a commodity that affects everyone to get off foreign oil? What about the poor you supposedly protect? Even if they don’t have cars, public transportation costs are going to rise and home heating bills will as well. All you’re doing is hurting the same people that you’ve made dependent on the government for decades.
4. Let’s make nice with Iran instead of treating them like terrorists and maybe they’ll increase production. Nah. You know only 10% of our oil comes from the Middle East, right? Our major suppliers of oil are Canada and Mexico. Speculation drives most of the price of oil. The other part is supply. While the Middle East can increase production, we have other major oil-producing nations that could increase supply and make the price of oil drop.
And now that global warming is over, here are my suggestions on how to fix our energy “crisis”:
1. Drill offshore. Drill in ANWR. Drill wherever you can find oil or natural gas deposits. While the benefits won’t be immediate, the medium and long-term benefits will pay off.
2. Cut off funding to ANY oil-producing nation that does not increase production. You don’t help us, we don’t help you. Got it?
3. Cut out all pork barrel spending and redirect funds from worthless social programs into clean energy initiatives. In the end, cheap and reliable energy will go further than a government handout.
4. Built the windfarms where necessary. If Teddy Kennedy doesn’t like having one five miles off the coast of Nantucket, he can move.
5. Build more refineries to process crude oil into gasoline so the price of gas doesn’t go up during the summer driving season, also known as the time of the year when we need to create 20+ special blends of gasoline for different parts of the country.
6. Go nuclear. It’s clean, dependable and there is minimal waste. Storage is easy and cheap. Plutonium may be in short supply, but it’s a start until we can get other technologies developed and online.
While all of my points are pure fantasy as long as environmentalists dictate domestic policy, it’s clearly the way to go for immediate and long-term gains in the energy sector. I have a feeling Barack Obama, if elected, won’t implement any of these ideas, however.

Great points, this article is worth considering also:

We should be exhausting every possibility in securing domestically produced, clean, efficient energy sources instead of playing the blame game with pollution and the global warming hoax——then using carbon-taxes, oil drilling restrictions, and carbon rationing to further cripple the economy.
