On the way back home today from visiting relatives I was gassing up ($1.70 ObamaGas!) and talking to the young guy gassing up next to me. He was there in this little town visiting his mom, and drove from NC. He said he was a solar installer, and they have so much work they can't keep up. He said they do only business currently, but are looking to go into residential, and that they just finished outfitting Falcons Stadium in Atlanta.What do you expect them to think when all they hear in the MSM is how global warming is an undisputed fact? Of course they're gonna agree when they're only given one side of the story as if it's settled science (which it ISN'T). Even if 100% of Americans believe it that doesn't make it a fact. You must think polls = fact.The problem with "global warming" is that it was thought up by a Bunco artist named Al Gore. Less then 7% of Americans see it as a threat. That is NOT going to harm us a bit.
Bullshit!!!!!!!
"69 percent of Americans believed that global warming is caused mainly by human activities (57%), or caused equally by humans and natural changes (12%), while only 29 percent believed it is caused mostly by natural changes in the environment. - See more at:

I know one thing....the Republican party doesn't like anything which benefits the common man unless big business comes up with the idea first and through their campaign donations use influence to get it initiated. Perfect Examples of the same thing on the other side is when FD Roosevelt initiated all the alphabet programs to help ordinary people and John Kennedy declared that by the end of the 60's decade we would put a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth. If he had not done that and put the government to work on it and if Lyndon Johnson had not followed through on it we would still be in a cold war with Russia and they would have a colony on the moon.
Right now some countries are powering nearly all their schools with solar power.....we should be at the forefront. Nuclear power is great but look at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and the Japanese disaster last year to see why it isn't the most desirable:

These deniers are the same people who just a few years ago were saying that solar would never be cheap enough to compete with fossil fuels, and that funding Solyndra was a mistake.
The only mistake was Republicans not allowing the government to partner with Solyndra like the Chinese government was doing with their solar companies, undercutting U.S. manufacturers to the point that they went under.
Now China leads the market.
Stupid goddamned Republicans.
Like I said before. If we had waited for somebody besides John F. Kennedy to declare that we would send a man to the moon and return him safely to the earth in a decade we would have lost the cold war and Russia would have a colony on the moon...if not mars.
Russia never had the capability
