The things that Bush can say and do while maintaing a straight face are just amazing. His pandering to his oil industry buddies knows no bounds.

Looks like NASA will have to come clean on their mishandling of the $100M DSCOVR satellite. This amazing satellite would enable us to precisely measure how much energy hits the planet and how much is reflected and re-emitted.

It’s no secret that the Bush Administration and the Harper government both censor scientists on a regular basis, making sure that nothing that could harm their energy industry bodies gets out.

Here’s a very interesting talk by Amory B. Lovins on weening ourselves off of oil while saving and creating jobs and fostering economic growth.
