In 2004, T. Boone Pickens invested his money in trashing John Kerry and helping doom us to four more years via Swift Boat Veterans for Truthiness.

In 2008, T. Boone Pickens is investing his money in trashing our opportunity for a sensible energy future.

Vampires are among us. When you aren't looking (or, when you are looking but not seeing), when you are sleeping, when you aren't paying attention, Vampires are sucking up vital juices, threatening our very existence.

For ever so long, the energy and environmental community has been working to communicate the dishonesty, truthiness, deceptiveness of John McCain's claims when it comes to renewable energy and global warming. Sadly, the McBlurring McSame McCain has worked all too well in creating confusion that John McCain is "green",...

Architecture2030 is a tremendous group, with concepts that should be seized and acted upon as part and parcel of moving forward toward an Energy Smart future. Recently, they've made a bit of a name for themselves with excellent graphics that call out just how sensible John McCain's energy policy...

In South Carolina, the "Democratic Party" candidate is Bob Conley, who must be mentioned was recently a Republican, on a county GOP committee until winning the Democratic Party primay, and Ron Paul supporter. On the Repulbican side, Lindsey Graham. In this race, Saturday's debate could well be a...

As noted in McCain DisDain for truth about energy and global warming, the townhall debate actually fostered some good questions. And, for the first time in the Presidential debates and far more pointedly than has occurred in any traditional TV situation, Ingrid Jackson asked a pointed question on climate...

Rarely does my blogging divert from energy and environmental issues, as we so desperately need to Get Energy Smart! NOW!!! on the path to Energize America toward a prosperous, climate-friendly society. Rarely ...

Amid the absurdities of trying to pawn Sarah "Pit Bull with Lipstick" Palin off as the nation's top energy expert (or here, here, here), the simple reality is that neither John McCain nor Sarah Palin can get their energy facts right.

The latest? According to...

Reflective roofing has long seemed one of the best geoengineering options to help turn the rising tides of Global Warming. An opportunity to reduce energy use through reduced cooling demand and longer lasting roofs, to improve urban life (and cut energy requirements) by reducing urban heat island impacts, and...

During the Republican primaries, John McCain fell in Michigan, in part because he was living in reality when it came to Global Warming rhetoric, a reality uncomfortable for the flat-earth, reality-denying wing of the Republican party. Come this November, McCain doesn't plan to make the same mistake. The

John McCain has made the choice. Already a hypocrite in talking the talk when it came to Global Warming, but taking the oil walk, choosing Sarah Palin put the nails in the coffin as to any shred of a claim that John McCain represents change in the...

The storm of revelations about Sarah Palin, since her announcement, approaches biblical proportions. While struggling to keep afloat amid the flood, one song keeps going through my mind, a song that could represent Sarah Palin's love ballad to John McCain and the Republican Party: What a wonderful world it...

A critical Republican campaign strategy is working when it comes to framing for the November election. Despite actual facts, media reporting increasingly reports that there is no difference of import between John "McSame" McCain and Barack Obama when it comes to the arenas of energy and Global Warming. Take

John McCain spent part of this last Friday at the Aspen Institute speaking about energy issues, including a meeting with T. Boone Pickens. From an interview there

McCAIN: I have a long record of that support of alternate energy..... I've always been for all of those and I have...

Al Gore has set a challenge: 100% clean electricity, 100%!

Get us (the US, and eventually, all the globe) off coal.

And, determine to do this within a decade.

People are going to scream that this is impossible. They will be wrong. This is possible, difficult to do...

The push is on, big time. The solution to all of America's problems, evidently, is to drill, drill, drill. This is now the Republican mantra as they seem to believe that they have found a winning political issue, no matter what the implications of this "win" might be for...

Amid skyrocketing oil, gasoline, coal, and electricity (coming to a neighborhood near you) prices, 2008 offers Americans quite serious and stark choices between knowledgeable, impassioned, and thoughtful candidates when it comes to finding paths toward a prosperous 21st century economy, on the one side, and Fossil-Fool candidates focused on tightening...

George W. Bush ended his time at the G8 summit, the last that he will attend as U.S. presidency, with the following statement.

Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter.

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest...

Harry Reid spoke bluntly on energy issues the other day.

Looking the Faux and Balanced cameras square on, he spoke truth:

Coal makes us sick ...

This is an important statement.

Reid is speaking truth to an audience that isn't used to hearing it.

Since diving into the deep end when it comes to energy issues, almost every day sees new fascinating concepts, approaches, and technologies. Fascinating... exciting... even hope inspiring at times. And, as well, as the passion builds, so many of these are truly Energy COOL.

This is a somewhat different...
