Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, July 13, 2025

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed into law late last month a bill defining "green energy" as " ... any energy generated by utilizing ... hydrocarbons which, when combusted for the purpose of electricity generation meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under the authority of the Clean Air Act, and shall include: (a) Energy generated by nuclear reactors. (b) Energy generated using natural gas."

... That definition is a bit odd, in that the NAAQS are defined as ambient atmospheric concentration levels of given pollutants, and not as emissions levels for a given pollutant used in power generation. But for purposes of this discussion, it matters not.

It is far more amusing to note the feigned outrage that followed immediately from all the usual left-wing suspects. ...

So, yet another trolling article by that current alias?

Green must mean something other than "A major source of Carbon Dioxide."

Maybe "Green" in Republican JeffJ land means "The cleanest fossil fuel source, for producing the carbon dioxide that causes global warming."

That's probably what he's trying to say so inarticulately.

Not much to say about dingaling's latest efforts at obfuscation.

Except maybe.

What a Fracking Weirdo.

@#5 ... What a travesty this is. Garbage style nonsense. ...

... and to think, I actually took the time to access and read the article.

...

"Time wasted" is a major understatement.

Certainly not a very good one.

Yeah this article is pure propaganda.

They even trot out the "global warming is good for plants" trope, it has zero downside, while also denying global warming is even happening.

"Moreover, rising atmospheric concentrations of GHG have yielded important benefits " examples are planetary greening, increased agricultural productivity, increased water use efficiency by plants, and a large reduction in net mortality from heat and cold " even as there is virtually no actual evidence that such rising concentrations have engendered adverse climate impacts."

The 'article' author is a devout far rwing radical climate change denier... who is thoroughly DEBUNKED here:

"For example, the conclusion that we should reduce emissions to reduce future risks depends on carbon being a driving force for climate change. That is what scientific evidence has shown for decades.

Yet Zycher argues otherwise. He writes, "it is important to recognize that the assumption of many politicians, environmental groups, and no small number of scientist-activists"that humans are the single most significant cause of climate change"is simply unsupported by the available science."

He's wrong.

If anything, the available science linking warming to greenhouse gas emissions has grown stronger in recent years."
