Why Does Obama want Cap and Trade now?

Date June 18, 2010

According to one news source, a Harvard study indicates that passing Cap and Trade would raise gas prices to $7 a gallon. As a Christian who cares about the environment, I’m interested in legislation like this. I’m interested in it failing.

Texas Appliance Rebate Program Debacle (they went fast!!)

Date April 7, 2010

As a Christian who cares about God’s Creation, the environment, I am one of the 38 thousand people in Texas who will be taking advantage of a government program meant to get consumers to junk their working appliances and buy new ones to help stimulate the lagging economy.

Obama Endorses more Oil Drilling – Proof that Humans are too Stupid to Stop Global Warming?

Date April 1, 2010

If this is a somewhat politically motivated action, it will not surprise James Lovelock – who recently said that humanity is too stupid to stop global warming.

Why I’m against the healthcare bill

Date March 23, 2010

I disagree in principal with government taking any responsibility or mission away from the church. In my view, God has relationships with individuals and challenges them specifically, in the same way then individuals are responsible for caring for other individuals.

Date June 22, 2009

The Climate Bill (H.R. 2454) will reportedly increase your energy bill. The GOP and the Dems have very different opinions about how much this will cost the average american.The GOP says over $3,000; while the Dems say only $245 according to MSNBC.

Obama and Geo-Engineering

Date April 8, 2009

Obama’s science advisor has stated publicly that he thinks the idea of geo-engineering is the way to hold off global warming (here). I find this idea interesting. I love technology.

I will be voting for a third party candidate. One article says, that he wants to take away the subsidies from oil companies. He voted to regulate mercury [...]
