This is pathetic. I hope Sean grows up. He’s probably led a very sheltered life within the Progressivesphere). He certainly does look like his father.

An excellent article written by Michael Barone compares some of the distant past’s “beliefs” with today’s leftist religion. Click here.

The last two paragraphs:

In recent years, we have seen how negative to 2 percent growth hurts many, many people, as compared to what happens with 3 to 7 percent growth. So we’re much less willing to adopt policies that will slow down growth not just for a few years but for the indefinite future.

Media, university and corporate elites still profess belief in global warming alarmism, but moves toward policies limiting carbon emissions have fizzled out, here and abroad.

An eco-maniacal opera, inspired by Elmer Fudd with music by Richard Wagner. Any resemblance to the classic “What’s Opera Doc” with Bugs Bunny is entirely intentional. The incandescent light bulb is, in fact, scheduled to become unavailable in the US at the end of 2011. Ride of the Valkyries and the Tannhauser chorus have been desecrated before, but this brings the offense to a new level, at least I hope so.

Watts Up With That

Weasel Zippers

Did the rise of environmentalism poison liberals’ historical optimism?

In a recent article in City Journal Fred Siegel writes about a drastic change in how Progressives viewed America.

For the first two-thirds of the twentieth century, American liberals distinguished themselves from conservatives by what Lionel Trilling called “a spiritual orthodoxy of belief in progress.” Liberalism placed its hopes in human perfectibility.

I considered myself a Liberal in my youth and thoroughly embraced the environmental movement at it’s onset. Siegel writes, and I agree:

If one were to pick a point at which liberalism’s extraordinary reversal began, it might be the celebration of the first Earth Day, in April 1970. Some 20 million Americans at 2,000 college campuses and 10,000 elementary and secondary schools took part in what was the largest nationwide demonstration ever held in the United States. The event brought together disparate conservationist, antinuclear, and back-to-the-land groups into what became the church of environmentalism, complete with warnings of hellfire and damnation. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, the founder of Earth Day, invoked “responsible scientists” to warn that “accelerating rates of air pollution could become so serious by the 1980s that many people may be forced on the worst days to wear breathing helmets to survive outdoors. It has also been predicted that in 20 years man will live in domed cities.”

Barbara Boxers comment that “CO2 would be the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way” ignores the likelihood of serious wars between America and other nations and the inevitability of a WMD attack on America.

From the most reliable and factual newspaper:

A collection of our editorials and op-eds.

Bobby Kennedy’s son said of the Cape Wind project: “It’s going to cost the people of Massachusetts $4 billion over the next 20 years in extra costs.”

From a Frontpagemag.com post:

If anything, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer, underestimated the cost of Cape Wind. The project will see the construction of 130 wind-powered turbines off the coast of Cape Cod Massachusetts that will, according to its developers, generate an average of 170 megawatts of electricity for the Bay State. The turbines will cost about $1 billion to build. Let’s assume that the useful life of the wind turbines is twenty years, that the maintenance costs of the windmills is zero, and that nobody has to pay a dime of interest on the $1 billion worth of financing needed to construct these windmills. Even if we accept such wildly inaccurate and charitable assumptions, the cost of energy generated by Cape Wind over those twenty years will be over thirty-three cents per kilowatt. That’s more than six times the typical wholesale price for electrons today, around six cents per kilowatt, depending on the market.

Thanks to government subsidies, Massachusetts’ residents won’t have to pay the full price for Cape Wind power. Instead, they’ll only have to fork over four and a half times the going rate, rather that something over six times that benchmark.

Here are some folks who must have led a very sheltered life, with not a clue as to what real hardship is.
