[Rhodes22-list] Will Al Gore now ask to stop space exploration and bring down space lab? [for Dana, Political]

Brad,

I understand that you want to address these diatribes to somebody.  Please pick someone else.  I routinely delete both your and Ed's messages.  Other than scanning them quickly, I haven't read (or watched) any of them.  I haven't responded with any political content.  Please just go away.  I'm going sailing now on an awesome sailboat.

John & Dana,

Gore has built a very lucrative business for himself selling "carbon
credits" (lucrative enough to fly around the globe in a Gulfstream). 
Until
he got exposed, he lived in a huge Bell Meade mansion in Nashville with a
$20,000 a year utility bill.  He still lives there, except now he has solar
panels and some other gimmickry installed.  Gore and his minions serve a
purpose, as useful idiots often do, in that they encourage conservation (not
a bad thing).  The problem with their ideas is they want to take one of the
largest segments of the economy and place it under a centralized, government
run command-and-control system.  If you want to get serious about "carbon
footprints", tax the carbon and let the market sort out the alternatives.
Nukes would be the first winner.  Every time you slap a subsidy on
something, say 54 cents a gallon on ethanol, you skew the attractiveness in
the marketplace for less than optimal results - same with wind and solar.
Focus on the carbon if you believe in global warming.

Now as to living on the Gulf Coast, I bought our 1.7 acre Global Corporate
Headquarters (housed in a 20 foot shipping container) in Gulfport, MS 10
miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico and about 70 ft elevation. If you live
near coastal water and get hit by a hurricane, your house is taking a bath.
If you choose to do so anyway, don't blame me or expect me to help pay for
your loss when the inevitable happens. The biggest reason single-family
housing is so slow being rebuilt in Mississippi after Katrina is insurance
companies won't touch them with a ten-foot pole, or if they do, the rates
are four times or more higher than pre-Katrina.  For those of you who live
on the East Coast or Florida, expect to pay more. Now as to New Orleans,
much of it is 6-feet below sea level.  Helloooo! Did I mention that the area
that flooded is six-feet below sea level?  Do you need an engineering degree
to understand the implications of this?  Move inland folks!

There, any other problems you need solved today?

Brad
