It is important to drop the idea of "global warming" and drop the term they are using now (“climate change”) since they realized there is not such thing as man caused global warming. Most scientists agree that mankind does not cause global warming ... this big thing called "the sun" does (it’s the closest star to the earth). We should be using alternative energy as the next step to better health and economy. Using fossil fuels was one of the first big steps to better health. It caused people to be wealthy enough to afford better medical care and the transfer of better foods. Wisdom was not completely used but it never is. Wisdom is not being completely used now as we take this next step. It is really stupid to burn corn but all good ideas have bugs to work out. We need to move away from corn immediately. And, we need to not downgrade the contribution of the people who brought us the health benefits of fossil fuels while we upgrade our national economy to less dependence on foreign sources of energy.

Wind only works if you are supplementing a running power generator and REDUCING how much fuel you burn. It will not work as a stand along source. It has to be done in lock step with other forms of energy and distribution. .... Are you amazed that our "leaders" have not led in this area? I'm a conservative Republican (in that order) ... and don't want the eco nuts to run the country ... but, wow ... do we ever need someone who actually will lead ... tons of us use energy ... it would seem like a good area to be a leader in ... It will be interesting to see how this develops. It is good to look at the destruction that a totally government run network does by looking at China. We should look more to the Native American roots of this country and the farmer roots of this country to see that we need to have both private ownership and good stewardship. It should be okay to plow a field if some rat does not move out of it. But the farmer ought to have a tractor that is not too expensive or pollutes too much. We should work on developing new chemicals that are less harmful to the surrounding but still give good crop yields. But we should not stop something like DDT that helped save millions of lives until we get something equal or better to replace it. Just think of the millions of deaths the eco freaks have caused by banning DDT. We need to move forward with the wisdom of someone who has walked the land and loves it but loves his family enough to not let them die today.
