  Posted 6 months, 3 weeks ago

  Here's Rep. John Boehner, the Republican leader in the House, talking to ABC's George Stephanopoulos today: "George, the idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know, when they do what they do, you’ve got more carbon dioxide."

  Why this site over others off Long Island?

  Important to note that, according the piece in The Times, the project would be built off the public beaches on Long Island's south shore, "not those [beaches] catering to the richer precincts to the east."

  I haven't been following this siting debate, but I do wonder how this area off of Long Island was chosen. Does anyone else know how this site was selected over others? Were there legitimate reasons, or will the Long Island Power Authority simply be able to roll over local opposition more easily in this case?

  It's no fun being an enviro alien

  I don't know if you are the only one, but you must be in the minority, because enviro is such a squishy, almost trivializing sort of word. As we consider various ways to reach out beyond the choir and to usher new people into the movement, do we really want to be leading with the term enviro?  "Really, it's fun -- yes, you can be one of us, too.  An enviro."  Kinda makes those who care about the environment seem as if they are aliens.

  But it's late.  Maybe when I wake up, I'll be singing a different song.
