The Pending Stock Market Crash
I appreciate the fact that the author doesn't beat about the bush as to the reasons for the crash: bad fiscal policy.
I'm not advocating the strategies BTW - more of noting the inevitability of what I have seen coming for years now.

The new wave of energy production in the US
will give us a chance to save or destroy the

Unless the EPA gets slapped hard by Congress, it won't matter how much energy we drill because we won't be able to use it.
To be more specific, I should have written the new wave of natgas production.
The EPA is right to act against coal-fired plants These plants generate 45% of US electricity. I write this from Pa. Marcellus Shale is centered in Pa State govt has mandated electric utilities to produce 20% electricity from renewables in the next few years.
Even Rand acknowledges limited govt intervention. The auto makers howled about 30 mpg requirements but they've met them..
Climate Change and CO2 emissions is a recognized scientific correlation. A long time ago Rand refused to acknowledge the correlation between smoking and lung cancer.
She paid with her life.
It doesn’t matter whether we double, treble or even quadruple the carbon dioxide concentration, carbon dioxide has no impact on atmospheric temperatures. "
For the reasoning and evidence see:

If you are of a different opinion, you have to explain:
1. why there has been no increase in global temperatures over the past 16 years while carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has steadily increased. and,
2. why do the CO2 based climates models fail dramatically to predict while models using solar activity correlate well with observations.
As for shale gas, the environmentalists fight vociferously against that as well.
You're not making any sense. There are NO new power plants coming on line, yet the EPA is causing existing plants to shut down. This only creates an energy shortage. You are in favor of this?
Yes, the automakers have made cars lighter and lighter and as a result, fatalities from automobile accidents has gone up as a % of accidents. Having the government mandate emission standards is exactly what Rand would have decried. It is consumers who should be the ones asking - and paying - for that feature.
I'm not even going to touch your absurd notion about climate change except to point you to NASA's chief scientist. His recent letter pointed out that 95% of those climate models - the ones saying CO2 is a pollutant - were hopelessly off and should be scrapped. If you really believe in that crap, I would challenge you to read Michael Crichton's work "State of Fear".
NASA's Chief Scientist needs to review the documentation of the AAAS, The Am Assn for the Advancement of Science, the basic Science Assn for the US.
Additionally, the World Meteorology Organization, and the UN-IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change
Rather than fiction by Crichton.
The coal-fired plants are being converted to Natgas. The utilities know a good thing when they see it.

You're welcome to believe the UN if you want. It's not like they have a global agenda of control or anything (yeah, right). Me, I'm going to rely on the hubris of man as my benchmark. The second a scientist says that something is "settled science" is the time I remind them of Einstein's theory of relativity, Niels Bohr's atomic model, or Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravity - all of which were updated with new understanding.
When the weatherman can accurately predict the forecast for the next two weeks, THEN I'll consider the idea that humans can possibly predict global weather patterns. More importantly, when they can predict the next solar flare or coronal mass ejection (which has a LOT of effect on weather here), then I'll begin to believe them when they say they can predict the weather.

You are a waste of time to read.
The AAAS has just declared on CO2 emissions and Climate Change in the past month
The other two organizations within the past
several months.
Additionally, you make your points with rude/insulting language.
I have several Science degrees.
I don't find it necessary to pay attention to any more of your posts. Especially, with the amount of space you take up on this listserv.
