Turns out it’s easier for the Gulf to come back from an act of God than His Majesty’s energy policies. IER (7/15/13) reports: “The Institute for Energy Research compared the impacts of hurricane activity and the Obama Administration’s oil policies on production in the offshore Gulf of Mexico to see which has the larger and more lasting impact.

It is sad that the Administration has been reduced to hiding behind Senator Boxer's skirts. Sad and repulsive. Environment and Public Works Committee (7/9/13) reports: “U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW), today was joined by fellow EPW Republicans in sending a letter to Chairman Barbara Boxer (R-Calif.) asking her to reconsider her decision to exclude government witnesses in the upcoming hearing Climate Change: It’s...

This is a fun read...if you're a Communist. Fox News (7/9/13) reports: “The Obama administration should dramatically reorganize the relationships between America’s federal departments and agencies, and overcome legal barriers to help install the nebulous principle of “sustainability” across government, the economy and society at large, according to a new National Research Council study sponsored by many of the federal departments that would be most affected.”

You read that right. China burns five times more coal than the United States. Now that we've learned about the scope of our government surveillance of us, what, exactly, is our selling point over the Chinese? The Daily Caller (7/2/13) reports: “The climate change policy that President Barack Obama proposed last week panders to environmentalists’ visions of a pollution-free, energy-efficient world, but is so out of touch with the economic and energy realities of today, it’s sure to...

At least he’s stopped beating around the bush and is outright telling us that our lives will be worse off with his policies. CNS News (7/1/13) reports: “President Barack Obama said at a town hall event in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday that unless we find new way of producing energy ‘the planet will boil over’ if people in Africa are allowed to attain air conditioning, automobiles and big houses. ‘Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has...
