AFL-CIO Joins Communists, La Raza, ACLU, Other Unions in Voter Registration Drive
Posted by admin / Under Green Living
Looks like the AFL-CIO is no longer even trying to hide the fact that it no longer sports a traditionally American political outlook. The labor union has announced that it is joining a voter registration drive called One Nation Working Together. This coalition is filled with some of the most extremely leftist groups in America today including the ACLU, Enviro extremists, La Raza, Code Pink, various anti-war groups, and the Communist Party USA. This new move by the AFL-CIO finds hearty support from the People's World newspaper, a publication dedicated to communism and the "direct descendent" of the communist Daily...

UAW Joins Push For 'Green Jobs'
Posted by admin / Under Green Living
The United Auto Workers has announced that it will join a coalition of unions called the BlueGreen Alliance in an effort to push "green jobs." I was amused by what BlueGreen Alliance founder Leo Gerard said of this addition to the group. "The American auto industry is poised to lead the world in the production of cleaner, more fuel-efficient cars and advanced vehicle technologies," said Leo W. Gerard, International President of the United Steelworkers, a founder of the BlueGreen Alliance. "The members of UAW, working people who make America's vehicles, are a welcome addition to our effort to create millions...

Obama Scrubs White House Website of Climate Change Promises, Media Mum
Posted by admin / Under Green Living
Despite that President Obama made Cap and Trade and other green policy plans a focal point of his early days in office -- not to mention his campaign for president -- the White House has quietly scrubbed from its official website many of Obama's promises and green initiatives. I guess the era of Obama really is "change you can believe in"? Especially interesting it the sudden disappearance of Obama's plan to commit $150 billion on clean energy research and development. In 2008 as Obama was preparing to take office he featured on his "Office of the President Elect" website a...

How I (Almost) Saved the Earth
Posted by admin / Under Green Living
Let's say you love the Earth. You see an article in a magazine about a guy who built a "green" house using mostly twigs, pinecones and abandoned bird nests. You want to build a green home, too. So you find an architect, show him the magazine and say, "Give me one just like this." Good luck with that. Your architect only knows how to design homes using materials that his local planning commission is likely to approve. But he wants the job, so he tries hard to talk you out of using twigs, pinecones and abandoned bird nests. He tells...

Japan Owns Up to Costs of a ‘Green Economy’ (Behold the economic wonders of renewable energy)
Posted by admin / Under Green Living
Remember the president saying “think about what’s happening in countries like Spain, Germany, and Japan” — over and over again? (If not, check the video below.) The truth about Spain and Germany having been established (and to the White House’s apparent surprise that anyone would actually check), now comes Japan for us to behold. Thanks to Reuters — whose headline writer deserves kudos for candor — we read: Japan seeks consumer burden to push renewable energy TOKYO July 23 (Reuters) — Japanese consumers will have to pay higher electricity bills under a government plan to help triple the generating capacity...

Green Energy Reporter About The Week In Green Energy [Actual Headline]
Posted by admin / Under Green Living
The Obama administration and Congress share a single, ambitious goal when it comes to renewable energy: they want to beat China and win the global green race. An unique agreement has been forged between the United Steelworkers union and Chinese wind turbine supplier A-Power Systems, which has been leading an effort to develop a 600 megawatts wind farm in West Texas. Since its rollout last fall, the project has been rocked by deep political opposition led by Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). Both have argued that the project’s best paying jobs would stay in China and the...

Toilet Paper 'Down Under' To Cost More Thanks To Green Policies
Posted by admin / Under Green Living
First the greenies came to take away our lightbulbs in the U.S. and force us to buy more expensive ones. Now the greenies are on the march in Australia with the unkindest swipe of all: forcing Australians to pay 42 percent more for toilet paper. In a report recently put out by Tim Wilson of SustainableDev.org (.pdf of report), we find greenism being used as a cover to foster protectionist trade restrictions in Australia. Wilson reveals that toilet tissue companies in Australia are using fake green concerns to keep competing foreign toilet paper products from reaching the country. These restrictive...
