Chu, Gore or any Climate Change junkie as Energy Czar means trouble.

Why would a quantum physics scientist & Nobel Prize winner jump on the pseudo-science Global Warming bandwagon? Big hint; he was a professor at Rochester, Berkley, & Stanford.

Of course it’s once again all about the money, and it would put Chu in a choice position for distributing out graft money, er excuse me, grant money for more fictitious “pay for play” studies suggesting Global Warming is our real threat. Actually Gore would have lost money as energy czar because he would have to table his carbon credit business ventures for being conflict of interest.

Grant money is the Chicago politics of the academia world after all. The Ivy league keeps turning out something for the corrupt politicians to invest in and tit-for tat, they’ll keep throwing money into college hands to keep that merry-go-round rollin’, as long as they get to keep grabbing for those brass rings, politicians will keep on a’riding til long after the carnival has moved on.

Fit, when I see someone like Chu rabidly and irrationally insisting we are the cause of global warming and demanding action now, it’s clear he is going off emotion and not fact.

As for inconclusive, you are correct. We could be the cause, but we also may not be. As for alternative energy, I am against forcing it’s implementation primarily because it’s not up to the job at hand, won’t be for some time, and is more expensive. A carbon tax would also be disasterous. Combine these things with a “true-believer” with the power to implement them and we get a dead economy.

“Tosses science out the window” and “inconclusive at best” seem, at best, somewhat contradictory.

“Tosses science out the window” implies he believes something that flies in the face of most scientific evidence.

“Inconclusive at best” admits that there some evidence, maybe just not enough to convince an astute mind such as yours. I for one believe it is plausible that we could be causing a change in the climate. Give it another fifteen years of research and maybe we’ll know more.

I don’t believe the pursuit of alternative energy itself is economically harmful, but a carbon tax to fund it could be. It’s the one of the only things I disagree with Obama on, but McCain had the exact same proposal.

Ummmm fit, he will now be a politician and considering that he tosses science out the window when it comes to AGW, you should be worried. Not to mention he has no grounding in reality. he has no clue how his alternative energy fantasy will damage the country and it’s economy. So go ahead and root for him.
BTW, I have commented very little on AGW, so you are clueless (in general) as to my view on AGW. My view is that the claim man has caused AGW is inconclusive at best.

I still have not made up my mind on the AGW issue. Both proponents deal in lies, ommissions and exaggerations. From where I sit, guys like Hard Right are just as quasi-religious in their denial.

Chu is better than Gore, at least Chu is a scientist and not a politician.

Sad that this guy has his intelligence spoilt by his fanatical quasi-religious attitude to global warming. Once these so-called eggheads get religion over global warming, like religious nutcases, they see only what they want to see. I disappointed that he is chinese also, but then again, we have our share of stupid cases.

There is an old cantonese saying: “Smart for a lifetime, Stupid for a moment.”

This is Chu’s stupid moment. Once emotion gets in the way, intelligence flies away.

I have an uncle like that, left at an early age, went to Harvard, is a prof of some science at a “name” american university, but is utterly clueless abt finance, the terrorism problem and so on. He thinks Bush is the secular version of the anti-christ. I like my uncle, but I see so many people like that, smart in one field, but absolute dumbos in much else. Trouble is, they think just because they are smart in their field, they are smart at everything else.

I’ve seen many professors of science think that they can be great investors, inevitably they lose all their money. Always.

Just found out Chu was one of the Berkley tree sitting loons. I take it back, this guy is every bit as bad as Gore. He will destroy American industry unless a tight leash is kept on him. Bbbbut, obama is picking moderates….b*llshit.

(AP) New claims for unemployment benefits reached their highest level in 26 years last week, as companies cut workers at a rapid pace.

The Labor Department reported Thursday that initial applications for jobless benefits in the week ending Dec. 6 rose to a seasonally adjusted 573,000 from an upwardly revised figure of 515,000 in the previous week. That was far more than the 525,000 claims Wall Street economists expected.

It is also the highest reading since November 1982, though the labor force has grown by about half since then.

And we say the left tends not to be religious. They are, but in a very different way. Wonder when Gore will be declared a Saint?

Hard Right,

I know. Who ever believe in Global Warming caused by Humans has to be a wacko leftist. So much for Sarah Palin idea of energy independence from Alaska fuel.
