Showing that anti-energy global warming policies are more dangerous than global warming itself.

Anti energy? Hardly, pro innovation and investment in clean energy R&D&D(eployment), yes. We have Solar*, wind, geothermal, nuclear, tidal, microwave, etc. However people like you keep preventing us from mandating these.

*Many studies have shown most of the US could be powered by solar arrays spread out across public lands in AZ, furtheremore household solar arrays on all homes would also significantly help. More energy is used during the day after all.

And if any of these were cost effective we would be using them now. But their not.

Fun fact, energy production is rarely cost effective in the short term. This is the same reason we have hardly built any new nuclear plants in the last 40 years. Sure in the long run they might be a good idea, but corporate profits no longer work on decade long cycles. These types of things (nuclear, solar, roads, bridges, etc) have to be supported by the government or they rarely get off the ground.

There is so many people in the U.S. that when ANYTHING happens a couple people die. Snow storm? 7 dead, heat wave? 5 dead, heavy rain? more dead.
