Jim, the fossil fuel folks and the guys at Fox news love people like you-you're really drinking their kool-aid by the gallon. Let's look at it point by point:



Startegy one: Deny global climate change-never mind that virtually ALL the researchers and authorities in the actual field of climatology will tell you the science is rock-solid. Deny it anyway. The sheeple WANT to believe, after all...



CHECK



Two: Claim that solar, wind, geothermal, etc are "impractical", "unproven", "too expensive", "not competitive" (and carefully ignore the huge wind farms springing up across the country, thin-film nano-solar that will be available later in 2010 and reduce solar electric costs by such a large percentage that it will make it competitive with current -and I might add heavily subsidized-fossil fuels, and the fact that the solar and wind potential of west Texas alone could power the entire country, were the infrastructure upgraded to permit distribution, etc, etc, etc....)



CHECK



Three: Call yourself an "Environmentalist", and claim that you are all for changes at some carefully undefined "future date" when such things will be "practical". Repeat as necessary.



CHECK



Four: When backed into a corner, grudgingly acknowledge past environmental successes, but paint them as "isolated instances", and not worth their "massive cost". After all, what good has a peregrine falcon ever done YOU?



CHECK and DOUBLE-CHECK



Honestly I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree here, my friend. But I'll bet Palin's 2012 campaign could definitely use you. You're her kind of people!
