And watch another hypocrite surface?
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, touted by many media pundits as a possible "mainstream conservative" 2012 Presidential candidate, has suddenly fallen in love with a coal-gasification plant that his own state's natural-gas utility commission rejected.
Wait. We have a conservative GOP governor, from a party with a lot of global warming denialists, that won't support cap-and-trade, let alone carbon taxes, which means coal gasification is hugely unfeasible economically, and he does this?
Oh, and isn't guaranteeing the gas will be bought at a prince of $3 per million BTU over current rates for natural gas ... uhh, isn't that socialism?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
