Good job, Rod. I wonder how to do this for Orange County.

I was thinking this about Paul Ryan last night when the first rumors popped up: "He's got too much talent to be Vice President. He should really be President."

Imagine this guy having a debate with Joe Biden...

His intellect is too overwhelming for bozo. Soooo... how long will it be before the dem superpac's tie him to someone's death, abusing a dog, or being mean to girls? Probably within a few days.

George. Are you smearing AGW skeptics as people who do not care about the planet? Shame on you.

Your article about the power plant warming the sound is very interesting to me. I didn't know that they have water temperature shutdown rules. I have fished, clammed, and lobstered just eight miles up the coast from that plant in Groton Long Point. Made some damn good chowder there. I often wonder about nuke plant's effects on marine ecosystems. Was just talking about it last week as we passed by San Onofre. My interest is amplified by my being an avid fisherman, kayaker, and diver, giving me a first-hand view of the issues surrounding marine ecosystem sustainability. Why taint this interesting article with a snotty lead-in about AGW, when the article isn't even about AGW?

The article does have one throwaway line about nationwide air temperatures being the hottest on record. a) This has nothing to do with the power plant story; b) It is not true. It's just your newspapers getting their news from AGW activists at NASA GISS who have added 2 degrees of artificial temperature to the record. Sorry ignorant newspaper reporter, but if they knew any American history at all, they'd know it was hotter in the 30's.

The ariticle mentions air temperature, but the water temperature is the issue, and ocean water temperature is the source/sink for most of the earth's surface temperature anyway.

I'm sure that the increase in Sound temperature must be solely coming from the plant, since the ocean temperatures are the main driver for water temperatures. Perhaps river runoff being second in a sound. Ocean temps are pretty steady, so the rise must come primarily from the nuke plant.

Here are the U.S. coastal water temperatures.

That says a lot.

Typical class warfare post. Tying 3rd world jobs to an American's wealth. As if those poor people were forced to work as slave labor by a greedy rich man. Heard it a million times from leftists and communists and Hollywood actors and especially the misguided Karl Marx. None of these pundits has a clue, starting with Marx, about the people who made a choice to come to these jobs because they provide a big improvement in their income, health, and safety over their previous lives of scratching out a peasant living day-to-day, not knowing if their family will survive a drought or a cold winter. You have no clue why these people flock to these factory jobs by the thousands whenever they are opened up by some Western entrepenuer's ideas and investment. It's incredibly naive and snobby.

"Worker's rights", my a$$. How about feeding the malnourished children, providing a doctor for pregnant wives, and putting a roof over people's heads? That's what 3rd world jobs do.

I have mixed feelings about Dinesh. He offers a lot of good insight about Islam, but then blames American for 9/11 saying Muslims have a right to hate us because America is decadent. And he wrote:

Is Islam the Problem? My book “The Enemy at Home” says no, locating the problem in the way that liberal foreign policy and liberal values projected abroad have strengthened radical Islam and emboldened it to attack us. . . .

Islam has been around for 1300 years and the problem of Islamic terrorism is a recent one. How can Islam be to blame?


That's a ludicrous thing to say.

Yay, gross body humor for teenagers. Thanks, this does help explain the mystery about which people are still polling positive for Obama. Why worry about jobs when you can spend your time surfing a web site called "cheezburger" to read jokes about farting vaginas and giant tampons?

Post should be labeled "Not Safe For High-School Graduates".

By "Dictator In Chief", did you somehow misread the story to mean that Romney had something to do with this?

Wouldn't you Obama supporters rejoice at coal miners not working for a day, and one less "death train" filled with coal that will cause the oceans to rise, the glaciers to melt, hurricanes to swirl, and cats to die?

Wait, what? Obama promised to fix the trade deficit during his campaign. You mean to tell me that he has failed at this, too? And he promised to bring back the jobs from overseas. He failed at this, too.

Well, when you have an administration that has sought to reduce American competitiveness at every step of the way, this is to be expected. You increase the cost of business, they can't compete with other countries and they are forced to manufacture overseas just to keep your head above water. When you have a weak, feckless administration that too soft on foreign policy to twist any arms to get trade agreements that benefit us, a bigger deficit is to be expected. It's a tough job for tough people that deal from strength. What has Obama accomplished in this domain? Well, he has sent American tax dollars to China and other countries for global warming programs. Because that's all he knows how to do -- give out other people's money. That's his career experience.
