Environmental tax threatens green energy research in UK
Hahahahahaha! Hehehehe! My tummy hurts! You couldn't make this [brown organic matter] up!

I love laws of unintended consequences. The "do-gooders" seem to have some form of mental short circuit that prevents them to conceptualize them.

#1  Carbon taxes are a huge revenue grab by governments.
Posted by: phil_b || 05/31/2011 2:33 Comments || Top||

#2  They ask for an exemption for JUST them! As if they're the most important bit of the whole economy.

The hypocrisy is startling. No wonder science is circling the drain, we don't have scientists we've got a bunch of bureaucrats with an "empire" to defend.

Defund them now.

#3  I wonder what Al's cut of this is?

The carbon credits and carbon taxes will go down in history as the single biggest scam since the Louisiana Bubble.

#1  The honourable knows how to wheel and deal and charm his opponents, even when operating from a weaker position. His boss only knows how to bully, poor dear.

#2  That's the honorable vice president, of course. PIMF!

#3  MSM slurping up and regurgitating the leftist political spin machine's droppings.
Posted by: The Other Beldar || 05/31/2011 18:41 Comments || Top||

#4  Well, yes - it is spin.

Then again, with an election season approaching, the current political and economic environment, and rather wan poll numbers, you shouldn't expect anything less.

#5  the pretense that Slow Joe Biden could lead an intelligent conversation, much less a committee with deeper subjects that the infield fly rule is laughable. He's a certifiable moron

/(Psssst. Don't tell him. He still wants to drive a train, and thinks any Engineer he meets already secretly does so )
