Not even a good old-fashioned sex scandal could get our outrage going again

Not even a good old-fashioned sex scandal could get our outrage going again. Indeed, a juicy one erupted last year in the Interior Department, where the inspector general found that officials “had used cocaine and marijuana, and had sexual relationships with oil and gas company representatives.” Two officials tasked with marketing oil on behalf of American taxpayers got so blotto at a daytime golf event sponsored by Shell that they became too incapacitated to drive and had to be put up by the oil company.

How It Became Safe to Embrace Global Warming

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: How It Became Safe to Embrace Global Warming

“With the oddball exception of Lord Oxburgh, the retiring chairman of Shell, who overlearned the lesson and has taken to predicting planetary disaster, Mr. Browne and his copycats have largely restricted themselves to acknowledging the inevitability of carbon regulation”

It’s been hard not to feel a sneaking admiration for George Bush and a bit of involuntary embarrassment at the same time. It’s the same feeling inspired by a seven-year-old who keeps insisting on the improbability of one guy and some reindeers delivering gifts to every house on Christmas night. He expects a pat on the head for this triumph of reason and practicality. Instead, the grown-ups in the room mutter about his poor social skills.

Mr. Bush is finally getting the message about being more agreeable if he’s going to be a member of the club. At this week’s G-8 summit at the Gleneagles golf resort in Scotland, he’s expected to accede gracefully to the need to worry about carbon dioxide in the name of “climate change.” On British TV on Monday night, Mr. Bush did not exactly endorse the view that the planet is warming. Instead, he merely called the output of CO2 — whose concentration in the atmosphere has increased from 0.028% to 0.036% since the advent of industrial civilization — “a significant, long-term issue that we’ve got to deal with.”

San Jose Mercury News: Bush pushing hydrogen fuel as alternative

San Jose Mercury News: Bush pushing hydrogen fuel as alternative

WASHINGTON – President Bush stared inquisitively down into the nozzle of a hydrogen fuel hose on Wednesday, then pumped the fuel into a blue compact car as he renewed his plea for Congress to pass a wide-ranging energy bill.

But with the cost of hydrogen double that of premium gasoline, even the president acknowledged that seeing today’s children take their driver’s tests in pollution-free cars is a long-term goal.

“This is the beginning of fantastic technology,” Bush said at a Shell station in northeast Washington, the first retail hydrogen and gasoline fueling station in North America. “Hydrogen is the wave of the future. We’re too dependent on foreign sources of energy.” read more
