Global Warming and Energy

Climate scientists seem to have just discovered that plants and animals adapt to a changing environment. Maybe one of them accidentally stumbled over The Origin of Species.

Fracking destroyed the peak oil myth, so communists posing as environmentalists are trying to ban it so they can reinstate that myth.

"The EPA is still conducting studies that environmentalists hope will someday justify draconian regulations on fracking. Enter Obama’s Transportation Department. By suddenly reinterpreting a 50-year-old rule that limits truck drivers to 11 hours on the work site at a stretch, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has delivered an unexpected victory for environmental activists.
Truckers on drilling sites spend hours each day waiting around until one rig or another needs water or sand. This is why, ever since the 11-hour trucking safety rule was adopted in 1962, truckers who haul water and sand to drilling sites have been exempted. There is no issue of road fatigue, the focus of the 11-hour rule. The Transportation Department’s reinterpretation eliminates this exemption, disproportionately affecting sites where fracking is employed. Voila – environmental regulation without the hassles of justifying it scientifically, as would be required for an EPA action."

They can't ban it outright, but they can make it significantly more expensive with bogus regulations like these.

The forestry service will lift bans on night flying by firefighters fighting wildfires. How generous of them. You might think they give a damn about the people losing their homes to these fires, but they don't. They only care about keeping their jobs, and those jobs were at risk because people were tired of being burned out because of this ban.
