Slowly, Drip By Drip, Photon By Photon, One Turbine Revolution By One Turbine Revolution ..

... folks are staring to question the wisdom of the US president's energy policy and the energy policy of the EU.

Here's a nice story from The Casper Star and Tribune. This is an important story; the newspaper appeared to be morphing into the Minneapolist Star and Tribune based on its editorial content. This story is somewhat redeeming for the Casper folks:
Gov. Matt Mead told an energy policy forum he remains skeptical that human beings are to blame for climate change and said fossil fuels will continue to remain an essential energy source.
Mead said at Wednesday's forum he was thinking about global warming as he flew into Jackson Hole during a snowstorm earlier that evening.
"In part, I'm skeptical because I think people need to be skeptical when it comes to where we are in science," he said.
Career conservationist and Jackson resident Paul Hansen moderated the discussion. About 200 people attended the event at the Center for the Arts in Jackson.
I'm surprised "career conservationist and Jackson resident Paul Hansen" did not kick Gov Mead off the panel. That's the usual operating procedure for "career conservationists."

On the hierarchy of such, I do not know which trumps which (scissors, rock, paper): community organizer, career conservationist, or activist environmentalist.

I know we have gone from global warming, to climate change, to extreme weather.
