Gas Gauleiters
Damn! This made me hoot this morning, but I forgot about it until James Taranto linked to it.
Greenhouse gas emissions from Northeast power plants were about 10 percent lower than predicted during the last two years, because of milder weather and increased reliance on natural gas instead of oil.
But the decrease may have some unanticipated consequences for efforts to combat global warming: It could have the perverse effect of delaying more lasting reductions, by undercutting incentives intended to spur power plants to invest in cleaner technologies and energy efficiency.
Perverse? You said it! Ten percent is a huge cut—but not only is it not enough, it’s counterproductive?
I resolved to call fewer people fascists this year (no more than 100), but this is pure fuel fascism.
