Hi Gurung

you don't hear doctors telling geologists they are doing their job wrong Maybe someone should mention that to Alibi Gore.
In 1969 I took an oath to defend and protect the U S Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and Domestic. There was no expiration date.

EPA To Shut Down 20% Of Coal Plants By 2012--- Susan Kraemer, a columnist for the “green” web site Technica, is encouraged that the EPA is going to gut the coal industry by shutting down 20% of the plants by 2012.
----------------------------------------According to Kraemer, the EPA will shut down these plants by imposing a ground-level ozone rule (the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). It is estimated that the cost of this rule will amount to $130 billion. Kraemer is thrilled about it.-- http://www.epaabuse.com/672/editorials/epa-to...0-of-coal-plants-by-2012/  |

Good Grief. EPA Wants to Kill Off 183,000 Private Sector Jobs a Year With New Regs--- As the U.S. House of Representatives prepares to vote on the TRAIN Act, the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, released a comprehensive analysis conducted by National Economic Research Associates (NERA) showing that several of EPA’s new and proposed regulations would lead to 183,000 lost jobs per year and significant increases in the price of electricity and natural gas.
----------------------------------------“America’s coal-fueled electric industry has invested nearly $100 billion, so far, to achieve impressive reductions in air pollution. Now is the wrong time for EPA to blindly push ahead without even pausing long enough to understand how all of these rules could hurt American jobs and consumers,” said Steve Miller, president and CEO of ACCCE. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/09/good-...obs-a-year-with-new-regs/ |

We've just had one of the hottest days of the year at the end of September in the UK. It's been great
----------------------------------------That said as well as the additional snow ploughs at Heathrow the signs are not good for Winter (in the NH) 2011/12 The early start to the freeze at the North Pole, the lack of Hurricane, the dramatic dip after Al's "24 hours of Reality" in Global temps. The appalling Summer, the amount of berries and fruit on the trees, a struggling Sun which should be covered in abundant Sunspots, but isn't, maybe it's my old tired eyes but the light is strange. All these things point to one thing.. A Winter similar to the last one Let's hope is isn't as bad as last years  Dave |
