We often hear how Republicans are science deniers. The liberals throw the term \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcscience deniers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 around almost as often as they casually throw out \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcracist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. If one should even offer a hint of disbelief or even questions the dictates from the liberals they are quickly tarred and feathered with labels and dismissed for being stupid.<\/p>\n

But scientists and the media never label the ideas of the left as crazy, unworkable, illogical, unproven or just plain nuts. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s take a look at some of the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcproven facts\/ideas\/science\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and science denial from the left.<\/p>\n

Solar Power – Pushed by Obama who took our money and subsidized this failed science. Solyndra became the third company to go bankrupt since Evergreen Solar and SpectraWatt. It is not a failed science because you can produce electricity through the sun but because you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do it economically. American companies can not compete with China to produce a low cost solar panel. And even then the electricity produced is extremely expensive. And we won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even talk about all of the toxic batteries and high maintenance costs. Works great in space, not so well on earth. <\/p>\n

Wind Energy \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Produces electricity but kills birds. Some from the left will defend the bird killing by noting that cats kill more birds. But cats don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t kill Bald Eagles or California Condors nor does that excuse not mean that even more birds will be killed. Then there is the illogic of the left when it comes to wind turbines. In Helena liberals fought hard to keep new cell phone towers from being erected because they would ruin the natural view. Even the Kennedy family fought against wind turbines being built in their back yards. Yet somehow fields of wind turbines are just fine in someone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s back yard. Then to add to the illogic liberals fight even harder against the construction of transmission lines to bring the wind turbine energy to any place where it can be used. And you still need to construct just as many power plants standing by for when the wind does not blow. The costs are questionable depending on the location of the turbines and the ability to convey the electricity to where it will be used. Without government subsides this may turn out to be another more expensive energy substitute.<\/p>\n

Ethanol from Corn \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Stupidity\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 taking food and making it into expensive low grade fuel. Without subsidies it is unworkable. In fact it may take more oil fuel to produce less ethanol energy. Science is still debating that little problem. But don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mention this to liberals or you will be a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcscience denier\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.<\/p>\n

Panda Poop \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Converting Panda poop into fuel. Of all the stupid ideas this has got to be near the top of the list. Does anyone think we have enough Pandas in the world to make enough fuel to run more than a couple of vehicles? <\/p>\n

Cooking Grease \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Another crazy idea from the left. We will all have to start eating French Fries by the tub full to get enough grease to make this more than a novelty energy source.<\/p>\n

Coal Energy \u00e2\u20ac\u201c The lack of logic here it that somehow burning coal in the USA under strict EPA guidelines is more detrimental to the earth then shipping the coal to China and letting them burn coal with no regulations. So China gets a cheap energy source while the USA further cripples world trade by using more expensive energy.<\/p>\n

Nuclear Energy \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Fought against by liberals at every step, lawyer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fees, environmental studies and government intervention has driven the cost to near uneconomical rates. In Europe some of the cheapest energy available is from nuclear. Guess we are just not as smart as those Europeans. <\/p>\n

Yet you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find hardly a liberal (or Ron Paul) that does not think that every maniacal dictatorship bent on nuclear war should not be allowed to build \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpeaceful nuclear energy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Somehow a nuclear power plant in the USA will spell doom for the world but for Iran it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just fine.<\/p>\n

Oil – And finally the totally illogical idea that we can give up oil completely. Oil does not just fuel our vehicles. It paves our roads, it makes our plastics, our chemicals, our fertilizers and is used in almost every industry in the USA. Try making any of that with wind, solar or even nuclear. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So it seems the real science deniers are liberals with their oil free utopian ideas. Be sure to mention that to them next time they start talking about oil. Call them science deniers who want people to die. Then while they are sputtering just call them racists and leave. <\/p>\n
