Eliminate the Gasoline Tax…

With the cost of a barrel of crude oil edging toward $100 (remember the good old days when it was only $70?), it's time to look at the gas tax. In August, the Cato Institute published a "Policy Analysis" that was titled, "Don't Increase Federal Gasoline Taxes--Abolish Them."

Friends of the Earth are Nobody’s Friends

While most of us spend our time working to pay our energy bills and put food on the table, Friends of the Earth (FOE) spend theirs doing everything in their capacity to insure that the nation and the world will not have sufficient energy to meet the needs of the human family.

Journalists, Global Warming, and the Truth

Being skeptical used to be a badge of honor for journalists, but if one reads any newspaper these days, most reporters casually refer to "global warming" without any hint that it is anything other than a done deal. Too many reporters have completely bought into the notion that humans and their use of fossil fuels are destroying the atmosphere and "causing" global warming. Neither assumption is true.

Sunny, But Expensive Dreams

New Jersey has a multi-millionaire Governor, Jon Corzine, whose monthly energy bill is not a problem. That leaves the rest of the State's citizens out in the cold because, as the largest daily newspaper recently noted, "New Jersey already is one of the most expensive states for business" and, may I add, for auto insurance, property taxes, and a sales tax.
