In 1976 the experts told us the next ice age was coming. Now we are going to melt.
The earths temp has not risen in the last ten years. The Sun controls our weather.

Personally, I’d love to see gas prices go up. It will get people out of their cars, which we sorely need. But I know that I also don’t want the Keystone XL built. I’m set on preferring the XL not be built.

But for a common American, who “cares” about the climate but doesn’t *really* get it, what they care about is gas prices. I think including that bit for the common American is an important thing to do.

No, I’m saying Rasmussen is an untrustworthy pollster.

Fox is an unreliable news source.

Forbes and The Wall Street Journal put political spin ahead of facts.

Is that clear enough?

So you’re saying 58 to 26 may be more like 55 to 29? It’s not even close.

Oh, for the FSM’s sake. You mean you aren’t aware how Rasmussen produces very favorable results for Republican candidates until it gets close to the election and then they gradually slide back into the mainstream?

You need to get away from Fox once in a while.

Bob, feel free to back up that claim. Rasmussen wouldn’t have a business unless they delivered credible product.

Rising oil prices are bad for the economy. Good for the adoption of EVs, PHEVs, and hybrids.

Rasmussen polls are not trustworthy.

It’s the same issue with NG (in the US). Right now, it’s captive of the domestic market. Export it and the price goes up. Is that good or bad from environmental perspective? On the one hand, fracking becomes more profitable (it’s not at the moment). On the other hand, wind and solar become (even) more competitive. Not sure what the net effect is in the long run.

The pipeline is being “sold” to the American public a good for America. The risk is “very small” and the rewards great. That is while it is ok to run it thru private property when the owner doesn’t want it there. This is a lie and why the impact on gas prices is included above.
And no matter who owns TransCanada, it has a bad record of spills. Which is why Canadians are fight the other routes they have/are trying.

Please stop with the nasty Canadian foreigner talk. A company based in Canada is dealing with several companies based in the U.S. to make a lot of money.
A large part of Transcanada’s stock is owned by Americans and four of the board members are American. A great many Canadians are against this too.

Interesting environmental argument worrying about the increasing cost of gasoline. Most environmentalists think that’s a good thing. Which one is it?
