Personally, I'm benefitting a great deal from the boom in the oil and mining industries. <br /><br />I was just pointing out that your sudden love affair with bats and corn seems to coincide with your hatred of wind turbines. <br /><br />And I have no problem admitting that food prices are going up (compared to recent data). I've admitted that they were going up on a couple of occasions. The cause and severity of food inflation is where we differ right now. You seem to think that food inflation is somehow Fed. induced and out of control which is completely ridiculous. That's all.J.

I...Well, Struppster, give me something to believe! I know that strip-mining has been environmentally damn-near-perfect in the last 10 years. So are you operating in the last century still?<br /><br />The GreenWeenies want wind-power. Great. Now they ought to accept the fact that it has consequences which are (egads!!) environmentally terrible.<br /><br />Just like--oh, burning coal, or petrol, or whatever.<br /><br />And by the way, you just HATE to admit that food prices are going up, don'cha?Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-17042057250569067952011-04-03T19:40:51.867-05:002011-04-03T19:40:51.867-05:00My second to last comment was directed at dadster....My second to last comment was directed at dadster.J.

But don't claim you give a rip about a couple of bats and 15 acres of lost corn production driving up food prices. <br /><br />There's zero chance you would believe this bat story if it wansnt tied to wind energy.J.

The point is EXACTLY that had it been the "evil" strip mine, oil platform, logging or other operation the enviros don't like, they'd be on this like a duck on a June bug. But since it is the altar of the "green" (it's not really, but that's an argument for another day) windmill, their silence is deafening.<br /><br />The Left is hypocritical on nearly everything. There is a new war in Libya, courtesy of the Obama Administration (this one is REALLY illegal, but again, for another day), but I only see protests against the (legal, though unconstitutional) war in Iraq. Why do you suppose that might be? And Libya really is "blood for oil". European oil, but oil nonetheless.Beer, Bicycles and the VRWChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976779901265528597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-23157516845565669892011-04-03T17:56:50.614-05:002011-04-03T17:56:50.614-05:00There's a difference.
