Do you know that during that period of no income taxes our country became a Super Power? Do you know that roads and schools are not supported or paid for by income taxes?

A new study in the journal Science by a team of international of researchers led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research have found that the sunspot cycle has a big effect on the earth’s weather.

But wind power, even offshore wind power, isn’t the same as coal or nuclear. Offshore wind farms in Europe are lucky to generate 40% of their listed capacity. So that limits that mid-Atlantic resource to about 74 gigawatts. And that doesn’t even consider the technical and economic hurdles that still dog offshore wind power and make it less competitive than its onshore cousin.

Every “wannabe” tyrant that ever existed has always tried to wipe out knowledge about a nation’s past, or recast it to reflect “new” thinking. Today’s elites and special interests are no different — except for one thing: the computer. Sophisticated mathematical models and data-collection techniques make it possible, with the click of a “mouse,” to know which people are “buying in” to the incessant flow of disinformation and which citizens are not. Those who are not “buying” are “resisters.” Those who do “buy” are accepted into the better colleges, obtain the influential jobs and enjoy “status.”

In an uncharacteristic—yet highly welcomed—move, Mr. Schwarzenegger has decided to terminate the long-standing environmental regulations that currently serve as roadblock to vital state highway projects and development as a whole. The importance of such a move is heightened by the fact that California is mired in a colossal economic abyss and the removal of draconian eco-restrictions would significantly ease the state’s fiscal burdens—to the tune of some $1.2 billion.

Over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. This new 231-page U.S. Senate Minority Report — updated from 2007’s groundbreaking report of over 400 scientists who voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming “consensus” — features the skeptical voices of over 650 prominent international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC. This updated report includes an additional 250 (and growing) scientists and climate researchers since the initial release in December 2007. The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.
