ALTERNATIVE FUELS - One of the first acts by the dimocratically controlled congress of 2007 called for huge increases in the use of ethanol.

Are you trying to give Democrats credit here?

Speculation - Some beleive as much as 60% of the price of oil is due to speculation.  The trading of energy commodities by electronic means was exempted from federal oversight by a provision inserted at the behest of Enron into the Commodity Futures Modernation Act of 2000, signed into law by Bill Clinton.

Refineries - Not one built in 30 years. South Dakota just passed a law to build one.. The dims environmentalists constituency vows to fight it.

Nobody needed extra refining capacity when oil was 10-30 bucks a barrel for 25 of the last 30 years…

Dimocrats defeated President George Bush’s energy package of 2001, the entire package.  It would have promoted new oil and gas drilling, plans to build new nuclear plants, improve the electricity grid, and tax breaks for energy efficiency.

Global Warming Myth - It has been proven just that, a myth.

By whom?  Michelle Malkin?  Ann Coulter?  The author of the powerline blog?

...passed by close vote of the Republican controlled House and Senate.

Wait...didn’t you blame Clinton for signing stupid legislation passed by a Republican Congress?  Did the Democrats force Bush to sign the ethanol bill?

Scientists lev, scientists.. It’s been proven the Earth reached it’s highest temperature in 1989.  It’s been cooling since.. The reason for all the storms in the midwest right now is all the cold air over Canada.. They’re still waiting for summer.

John McCain has said Global warming is man made and he will do what ever it takes to fix it. He fully supports the idea
of carbon credits says the U.S. should be leading the fight against global warming.

so you choose to believe the 10% who say no global warming (who coincidentially, half of this 10% are on big coal and oils payrolls) instead of the global consensus.
how has the once mighty republican party descended into such anti-intellectualism merely for the sake of being anti intellectual?  i think its the composition of the party today - mindless religious robots and the truly fearful that accounts for this.
