These guys live ...Andrew: Ain't it the truth? These guys live in a bubble, completely isolated from the real world they are experimenting with. Your LED example is a perfect example of their "it looked good in theory" method of fixing the world.<br /><br />The old legal test used to be "the utility of the act versus the risk of harm." No absolutes, just a recognition that the activity might produce vastly more good than the amount of harm it might theoretically cause (to the lousy Delta Smelt, for example). Today the test seems to be "the utility of the act versus the theoretical harm it might cause to two or three special pleaders who wear tinfoil hats and hate their fellow human beings."LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-10467311997830637122009-12-18T13:36:32.897-05:002009-12-18T13:36:32.897-05:00Sadly, I've come to expect tht environmental &...Sadly, I've come to expect tht environmental "solutions" lead to even greater problems. That's what happens when you like idiots make policy based on intentions rather than facts science.<br /><br />I love the traffic light story about the LED lights not being warm enough to get rid of snow and ice, and thus freezing up.

There are fifty-one "states" for purposes of the poll, since they include DC. Residents were asked how happy they are living in their current state. New York came out dead last. My state of residence (California) only made it to number 46, and my state of birth (Illinois) came in at 45. Tennessee, on the other hand, came out at number 4--a happy state indeed. Andrew's home came out right near the middle at 23. Louisiana came out at number 1 happiest state (although in fairness, they started compiling the early figures pre-Katrina).<br /><br />Now for my editorial comment. When they ran a similar poll back in the Dark Ages when I was a master's candidate at San Francisco State and Ronald Reagan was governor, California came in at number one--and nobody else was even close. Does that tell you anything about what happens after decades of liberal-Democrat ascendancy?LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-64743092450650535142009-12-18T13:11:45.171-05:002009-12-18T13:11:45.171-05:00CalFed: That's the "tunnel-vision" ...CalFed: That's the "tunnel-vision" I was talking about. I mentioned it before, but here in town we pump huge amounts of groundwater out of the downtown area to keep the tunnels of the transit system and the basements of the high-rises from flooding. It goes straight into the Bay and is lost forever. And nobody complains. But the eco-nuts can stop the flow of free river water while at the same time complaining about depleting the groundwater in the Central Valley (San Joaquin) where both activities damage the state irreparably. It's like adding one plus one and coming up with zero.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-3666039173793198642009-12-18T12:59:47.150-05:002009-12-18T12:59:47.150-05:00I caught that article by Gleick in the Los Angeles...I caught that article by Gleick in the Los Angeles Times (science and technology section). Just a few days earlier they had a "news" article about the drought crisis in the San Joaquin Valley creating a near-20% unemployment rate. Yet nobody seemed to notice the correlation between the Gleick "aquifer crisis" and the Delta smelt ecofreak-created "drought."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284025222779154243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-11773220865446574162009-12-18T12:48:15.367-05:002009-12-18T12:48:15.367-05:00HamiltonsGhost: Shhhh!

If they decide to charge admission, they'll come up with tickets that cost as much as a hot Broadway show. I can't justify the price of a movie with a drink and a bucket of popcorn these days, let alone the price of admission to the Greatest Show on Earth.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-27106065249691986452009-12-18T12:40:22.387-05:002009-12-18T12:40:22.387-05:00Lawhawk--It sounds to me like your Board of Superv...Lawhawk--It sounds to me like your Board of Supervisors is the best free freak show in town.
