Today is Earth Day, which makes me wonder why every day isn't treated as earth day, just like every day should be Mother's Day and Father's Day (via the 5th Commandment).
There are lots of efforts to make folks go green, although many people, like Al Gore, are tremendous hypocrites in telling people to reduce their personal consumables while doing little to reduce their own ravenous energy consumption habits.
PSE&G - a utility in NJ, now says that they want to see Congress impose a carbon tax.
The insanity must stop.
If the eco-left is serious about stopping emissions, do something about it. Get out of the way and start construction of new nuclear power plants that can generate sufficient power to run electric cars and eliminates smokestack emissions.
Otherwise, this is all just another tax redistribution scheme that benefits no one except a few who can game the system that the rest of us will pay for in the form of higher energy costs and higher costs for goods and services.
At the same time, buried in this same story is a quick note that an offshore wind farm project that is a partnership between PSE&G and Deepwater Wind is being delayed by a year. Really? Why the delay? If reducing emissions are so vital, why the delay?
So far, there are lots of promises to move forward with wind power projects, but there are no shovels in the ground and we're now seeing at least one of the projects delayed. Deepwater Wind has lots of projects it is mulling, but they're all in the planning stage. The New Jersey project was supposedly the furthest along, but the delay is so far unexplained.
