This is really sad how the people of this earth have put our animals in this situation. I’ll hope for the best but expect the worst.

Anyone think that Sarah Palin will be the top republican candidate in 2012. It scares me a bit to think about it.

Quoting from an article to be published this month in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, by Dr. Paul Epstein on the true costs of coal.

“The public is unfairly paying for the impacts of coal use…Accounting for these ‘hidden costs’ doubles to triples the price of electricity from coal per kWh, making wind, solar, and other renewable very economically competitive. Policymakers need to evaluate current energy options with these types of impacts in mind. Our reliance on fossil fuels is proving costly for society, negatively impacting our wallets and our quality of life.”

“Our comprehensive review finds that the best estimate for the total economically quantifiable costs, based on a conservative weighting of many of the study findings, amount to some $345.3 billion, adding close to 17.8¢/kWh of electricity generated from coal. The low estimate is $175 billion, or over 9¢/kWh, while the true monetizable costs could be as much as the upper bounds of $523.3 billion, adding close to 26.89¢/kWh. These and the more difficult to quantify externalities are borne by the general public.”

This is lunacy. This should be widely made public in the USA and globally so that the Republican zealots proposing this can be shamed and blamed.

The anti reason and anti science agenda continues. I hope the American people realize what these Luddites are up to. This is criminal, and just plain stupid.

Dr. Everett’s testimony would have been laughable except that some people have taken it seriously. It’s riddled with elementary arithmetic mistakes, statistical follies, misleading visual aids, irrelevent word games, and such gross misrepresentations of the scientific literature that the authors he cites have since complained to congress. I’ve been putting together a debunking of his claims, available here:

A better question would be: Is the world sacrificing a habitable planet on the alter of free market capitalism?

It’s been a really dry year in the middle east, more like 5 but who is counting it’s just going to get worse.
