These guys remind of Daniel Plainview promising the people of Little Boston that they will become rich if they let him drill on their land. Only after he's walked away with millions and their left with a pittance do they figure out how they have been bamboozled.
This man, Tom Steyer is a very wealthy man who will back Democrats against the Keystone XLPipeline. So who will benefit from the Keystone Pipeline? Who will be hurt? First, the rich oil corporations and the very wealthy will benefit. Second, the middle class, working poor, and poor will be hurt. Farmers, ranchers, homeowners, and small businesses will also be hurt.

If the GOP wants to cry about gas prices being high because of President Obama, they need to declare that they want the US government to nationalize the oil industry.
What we need today is Electric cars that have batteries that can hold a charge longer and be recharged by a solar array. It needs to be inexpensive to buy so we can get more of them on the road and fewer of the internal combustion engines.
Simple Don forgot that he is the most anti-environment person on earth. Especially since his pen makes him the world's biggest carbon contributor.
The stakes with stopping carbon dioxide buildup are huge. The value of the un-drilled oil and methane and coal is in the trillions and if you think the oil and gas companies are going to write off those investments without a huge fight, I have a bridge to sell you.
One of the things I found out about years ago that too many people have not heard of today is how you can use your computer's idle CPU time to advance science. It all started when the SETI...
I have extreme doubts but I sincerely hope Andrea Rossi proves us all wrong with his device. With his "energy catalyzer" (called E-Catalyzer or E-Cat) Rossi claims an energy multiplier of 30X. I would guess if something is happening...
