More from the Las Vegas Review-Journal about another partisan event pushing the green energy line. It’s worth the read just to see how much green boilerplate could make it into one piece. I did however like “Humans also dump 70 million tons of planet-warming pollution into the atmosphere every 24 hours, Gore said. ‘This is madness,’ Gore said.”

OK, but not so planet-warming, as we’ve seen — do observations still count? — though I won’t argue with the clinical diagnosis (even if it is slightly misapplied).

Then there’s a UNLV professor Keith Schwer who, just in case you didn’t catch that he is a college professor, lets loose with a torrent I otherwise would have assumed was a reading from some newly compiled tract of vacuous eco-talking points. Sort of a modern-day “Howl” at City Lights. You know, I saw the best minds of my generation rebuffed by madness, energy-starved hysterical hair-shirted, dragging themselves through the organized community at dawn looking for an intermittent wind-powered blast, earnest ecology majors burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the thermal goddess in the collector panel of night . . .

Per Schwer, “Focusing on renewables such as solar power and wind energy would make the Silver State an exporter of energy, similar to Texas and Oklahoma.”

Yeah. Nevada could be an energy exporter if only it would turn away from its productive coal and nuclear facilities and instead pretend it could run on windmills and solar panels. You know — like California, a state to which Nevada presently, um, exports power. Without which power California wouldn’t have enough. Because it, ah, did what this fella suggests that Nevada do.

Uh . . . the, the . . . global warming, and . . . corporate America, and . . .
