We just saw a Friday document dump from the White House, where they were fretting about the planned layoffs at Solyndra. This should bump the fretting up to Category 5 (and probably earn CBS’ Sharyl Attkisson another profanity laced tirade from White House personnel) (CBS News) Solar panel maker Solyndra received a $528 million Energy […]

Yes, you read that right. Even the NY Times thinks this is silly When the companies that supply motor fuel close the books on 2011, they will pay about $6.8 million in penalties to the Treasury because they failed to mix a special type of biofuel into their gasoline and diesel as required by law.

Bet you didn’t see that one coming (Climate Realists) Southwestern Ontario’s flourishing wind energy industry came under fire Wednesday from the co-founder of Greenpeace.

The obvious solution is for everyone to drive a big gas burner (CNN) Drivers often forget that they pay for highway construction and maintenance through federal fuel taxes: 18.4 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel. “The notion that the road has ever been free is sort of a self-delusion,” […]

Hey, remember when the media and liberals excoriated the Bush administration for pressing the EPA to soften its climate change (hoax) reports? The resulting freakout?

I know the supporters of Obama’s failed and destructive policies would love to say “Obamanomics!” Alas, no (ABC News) Steubenville, Ohio, may not look like a city sitting on a multi-billion dollar industry. Unemployment here reached 15 percent in 2010, and a now-shuttered steel mill — which was once the lifeline of the Steubenville economy […]

Another day, another revelation that the Solyndra issue is not the not big deal that many want to make it out to be. I guess the big question will be “was there anything illegal about the loan?” But, if the GOP has any brains, they will beat the Obama admin with this, as The Most […]
