The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Eco-nuts kill proposed NJ biomass power plant
Same song, different verse. Somebody wants to "go green" and build a renewable energy power plant. The ecowarriors swarm and find something to nitpick about, and poof! the plans go down in flames.
This time it's the Mount Hope Biomass Power Plant, torpedoed by the luddites at the Sierra Club.
The Mt. Hope Biomass Power Plant, a 30-megawatt generating facility proposed for Rockaway Township, suffered a regulatory setback today when the state ruled the project was inconsistent with New Jersey's water quality management rules.
The New Jersey chapter of the Sierra Club, which claims the plant would increase air and water pollution, said the Department of Environmental Protection decision kills all hope for the plan. The plant, which would burn recycled wood-residue to create electricity, is proposed for the same site where a 14-year effort to build a hydro-electrical plant died in 2006.
Again and again progress falls victim to chicken-little environmentalism. Our state needs the electricity. We needed it 17 years ago when Rockaway first proposed a hydro-electrical plant for the site. That doesn't matter to the Gaia-worshipers, their goal is to foil development at every turn.
If we can't generate power in-state, we have to bring it in from somewhere else. That's basic logic. But once again the Sierra Club is front and center opposing an upgraded power transmission line project. Their mantra? Fight the Power, Oppose the Towers!
Got that? Fight the Power — they don't want us to have more
electricity. Without electricity we'll freeze in the dark. That's not
pro-environment, that's anti-people.
