Maine veterans show support for climate bill
Speaking at a news conference at Bath City Hall on Thursday, retired Maj. Gen. Donald Edwards of South Bristol and two other veterans urged passage of the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act. The bill calls for pollution reduction measures and a shift of energy policies away from fossil fuels.
Edwards said it's in America's national security interests to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
The bill faces an uphill battle in the Senate, where critics say it would lead to higher energy prices.

Well, they're right about
Well, they're right about one thing. It is in America's national security interest to lose our dependence on foreign oil. But cap and trade is not the way. We should drill more of our own and use more nuclear power. While we're addressing national security issues, we might want to include balanced bugets instead of selling our kids' futures to the Chinese and anybody else who still dares to buy our debt. P.S. Tron's an idiot.

Anybody wanting to know how much of a scam Cap n' Tax is should Google "Enron and Cap and Trade"
Turns out the good ol boys at a company by the name of Enron are the ones who came up with that plan to get rich quick.
Now where have I heard the name Enron before?

You, jcn, are a coward. Show yourself or keep quiet. Perhaps if you had the guts to show who you are you wouldn't be so quick to hurl insults. But then perhaps you're an expert on idiots.

verified Gil, I suspect these highly
Gil, I suspect these highly place military veterans are more knowledgeable than a lowly buck private, or whatever you'll claim to have achieved. FYI, servicing in the Limbaugh Private Army of Hatred and Bigotry does NOT qualify you as a veteran.

Nice to see that you can
Nice to see that you can always depend on libs to use a personal chance for a personal attack when they have nothing meaningful to offer. I doubt that Dan ever served in any meaningful way, as much as I doubt that he would like to meet in person to discuss what it actually means when you spit on a veteran's service.

You are a liar, gil. I have not attacked you, personally or otherwise. Plus, I know you've never served, except maybe ringing the bell.

Name the time and place sad
Name the time and place sad little man. It's easy to call me a liar about something as honorable as serving in our nations military while hiding behind a computer screen. Let's see how brave you are face to face.

As a veteran, I'd have to
As a veteran, I'd have to say that three vets do not speak for all. The title to this article is ludicrous and beyond stupid. If the best they can do is 3 vets from Maine being duped into believing in "climate change", then the SJ really is hard up to push their agenda.

Good idea and we should start in the dirtiest corner first and that would be Washington. Maybe it would trickle down.

This is an important start to resurrecting the fishery in the Gulf of Maine. The article does not mention how corrupted the natural flows of the Kennebec River watershed are. Timing and amounts of flow volume has been greatly changed over the last 40 years. Storage lakes at the headwaters and ponds feeding the Kennebec are now keep full all spring, summer, and into late fall. Many ponds are not drawn down at all like they historically were. China Lake is a good example. This change in flows upsets migrational cues among other impacts. It is very easy to screen off turbines so the young salmon do not become minced by the blades and build working fishways. We need leadership in Augusta who want to restore a once great industry.

I propose as captain of this lunar expedition our very own moonbat-in-chief, BHO; and as executive officer, of course, Joe "foot-in-mouth" Biden. Lift-off is set for 1/20/13.
Decoteau's letter proves that the full moon exaggerates lunacy.
