Why Isn't the U.S. a Leader in Green Technology? - Room for Debate
Americans pride themselves on being global leaders in innovation. So why is the nation lagging behind China and Germany on renewable energy?Ronald Reagan ended the energy research programs on his election. I know. I was laid off.It is not a race. Most of the patents have run out. The marginal costs are still too high. It requires production. We do not do production. -
It's a Mistake to Tie Energy Policy to Jobs Creation - Room for Debate
President Obama sold his energy policy as a jobs plan. That was a bad idea.The Republican party that is will oppose any effort that does not directly enrich themselves or their supporters. -
How Government Can Stimulate Green Technology - Room for Debate
It’s not wise for the government to abandon the role of supporting basic research at universities in favor of becoming a venture capitalist itself.There is no difference in this statement. There are no loans to be had from banks.Twisted logic to conclude that demand is the way. -
U.S. Should Emulate Germany's Renewable Energy Model - Room for Debate
The United States is a good example of how not to achieve a green economy. But it can look to Germany for guidance.The effort was murdered in 1981. It will not be allowed rebirth while oil lasts at any price. -

A very Republican list. Also a very anti-tax list.
Doing without revenue is a fantasy. Getting it through inflation is ruinous in normal times. At the moment it would be a good way.
These are not normal times.

I would not do this if you would stop sending these silly arguments.
Taxes at the moment are very low and have a very small effect.
Our regulatory failure is driving the wealth distribution.

Define 'Real Indians' - Room for Debate
The intersection of race and citizenship in Indian Country never fails to create a tragicomedy of tribal politics.
It is Tribal politics. I don't get to speak on them.
Probably a good thing as I disapprove.

Despite Wiretaps and Economic Woe, Berlusconi Endures
Berlesconi may be personally corrupt. As long as it does not get into the business of government they are prepared to be amused. If he is found to be corrupt in his government office he will be gone. He is a very wealthy man and it is Italy.

The courts will drag their feet a bit more. I am working harder to keep things in the same place. Her brain is working better but physical exhaustion and collapse seems to be the price. I will seek a new equilibrium.

Social Security as a Ponzi? It's a Bad Metaphor - Room for Debate
Ponzis depend on fraud, but there is no organization more scrupulously honest than the Social Security Administration.
I know it is not a Ponzi scheme, so do you.
It is pay as you go.
There is no promise of return of capital.
There is no promise of anything but an income proportional to contributions. It is a revolving fund. The current baby bust will beat on these whinny gen xers. The immigrants they are fighting will support them in their old age. -
How to Weaken the Power of Foreign Oil
I have no enthusiasm for paying for any of this.
The fuels they are suggesting are far too closely dependent on oil.
I am for raising the price of fossil carbon at production with a fat tax.
Consumption will fall vigorously.Cutting wood along the roads will have to be banned.Fantasy won't work but high prices will.
