  • Carpool with RideShare

    hburgnews

    Number of comments: 1

    Why carpool? Well, it all starts with the environmental and monetary costs of transportation. Close to 30% of greenhouse gases released in the U.S. come from transportation. The less gasoline we burn, the better it is for our atmosphere.

    Driving also costs money. Nationally, the average daily commute to work [...]

    Fishersville Mike


    My seventh-grader decided for his science project to grow seeds in different environments. He wanted to do green beans, but in October he forgot to ask his grandfather in West Virginia for some seeds.So last week, he said he had to get seeds. The project [...]

  • A VB Dems Legislative Agenda

    VB Dems

    Let's do it! I'll develop our environmental agenda. Dominic, can you do education? I'll ask Vivian about hers. What else?

    Then let's draft it in the form of a petition and get every VB Democrat out there to sign it. We'll then deliver it to our Republican delegation and when they' [...]

  • Any Bets?

    From On High

    My money says the environmentalists here in Virginia will be up in arms:
    Winds of change off Virginia coast
    By Cory Nealon, Daily Press

    Virginia officials announced Wednesday that they will pool resources with Maryland and Delaware to develop offshore wind energy.

  • We Are Winning

    From On High

    One might ask at this point, why are the world's environmentalists - thousands of them - getting together at all if this be the case:
    World Leaders Agree to Delay a Deal on Climate Change
    By Helene Cooper, New York Times

    Singapore — President Obama and other world leaders' [...]

  • Wacked-Out Environmentalist Sees What She Wants To See

    From On High

    This is beyond idiotic.  It crosses over into the realm of stupid.  New York Times fanatic Elisabeth Rosenthal  is told that the sea turtle population in Costa Rica has declined.  Why?

    There can be only one explanation!
    Turtles Are Casualties of Warming in Costa Rica

    Playa Grande, [...]

  • Send In The Clowns

    From On High

    There are times when I want to just wait until the environmentalists among us figure out just what it is they want, and then respond to their idiocy.  But they never seem able to get to that point.

    The latest: Electric cars are good for the environment, right?

  • Reform Handbook Mojo

    Blue Commonwealth

    UPDATE: We've been having a lively discussion on how progressives want to reform the Democratic Party, not to mention the political process, starting here, starting now (NOTE: such seemingly overweening self-confidence is not to be considered over-the-top; it is necessary to accomplish anything given the environment in which we struggle).'

  • Another Environmentalist Dream Goes Poof

    From On High

    Remember when George W. Bush, in a State-of-the-Union speech several years ago, in an effort to throw a bone to the powerful environmental movement, extolled the virtues of something called switchgrass as a wonderful and exciting alternative to fossil fuels?  Remember when then-Congressman Virgil Goode from Southside jumped on that [...]

  • We're in for a Long Tough Fight

    VB Dems

    Bob McDonnell has appointed Virginia's largest corporate polluter aka Dominion's Fossil Fool Tom Farrell to his gubernatorial transition team.

    Meanwhile our next Attorney General, someone charged with enforcement on environmental regulations, calls environmentalists "watermelons"... green on the outside and commie red on the inside.

    Plus we lost the one [...]

  • Boucher? Ambassador to Upper Slobbovia?

    From On High

    We can live with that.

    What the people of Southwest Virginia can't live with is a radical big-government, anti-business, pro-abortion, pro-union, pro-tax, anti-coal environmentalist representing us in Washington any longer.

    Upper Slobbovia.  Lilliput.  Brigadoon.

    Wherever.

    Don't laugh.  There is a distinct possibility that the offer is [...]

  • GOP Plans for Coastal Virginia

    We will RockDem

    Here is Bob McDonnell's vision for Virginia's Coast.


    Environmental groups say the oil leak spilling into the Timor Sea should be declared a national emergency, with one expert likening it to a ''disaster movie''.

    The situation has worsened in the last 24 hours [...]
