So far most of our global warming "cures" seem to be more harmful to people than the disease. Ethanol takes much of our corn and drives up the cost of food to impoverished in third world countries. Wind mills kill rare birds and now one of our nation's most important fruit and vegatable growing regions is threatened by solar "farms". For every action, there seems to be an equal and opposite reaction.

Chu is stepping down due to the massive failures from this kind of thinking. So far the only thing that has happened is that billions upon billions of tax dollars are gone forever. Forward? Nope. Just four more years of idiotic policies that accomplish one thing; More deficit. Say, anyone know how California is doing financially?
