You're free to give thousands of your dollars a year to General Election to put in a giant pile and set on fire use to develop "green energy", just to steal money from me to do it.

Well it seems that you listen to them, not sure if that equates to you being a moron?

Even though the planet has been warming since the last ice age 10,000 years ago the libs tell me global warming is my fault and that taxing me will fix it - that's delusional.

So it is impossible for living things to impact God's creation? Cyanobacteria might disagree with you.

And liberals never address the second question: Is warming a bad thing? Answer: no. Warming is much better for our ability to survive on the planet than cooling. Warming creates higher crop yields, wild plants to thrive which in turn creates more biodiversity of plant life. Cooling on the other hand kills everything.

This isn't a global warming thread. It's a conservation of matter and energy thread. Repug fundies are so bad at science they don't even believe in this concept.

If you wish to narrowly define a topic for discussion, a suggestion might be to not open it up broadly.

conservatives inability to to change tought patterns as circumstances around them change will not serve them well because as we all know natural selection (much like reality) has a liberal bias

First, you're attributing the opinions of a single state Senator to ALL Republicans? Wow... John Lennon once claimed to be the Walrus. Crazy lot those liberals.
Second, I'd be interested (but as this is some low level state rep from Mn, not THAT interested) in the context here. I don't think there are many people who believe what you say this guy believes, even if he DOES believe it. The phrase "dynamically stable" implies to me that as certain things become more scarce, other things become more attractive as alternatives... overall, we have what we need. I don't see that being inconsistent with the idea of "alternative" energy policies.
There is a school of thought that says conserving oil DISCOURAGES alternatives. Maybe this guy is one of those. I mean, if burning fossil fuels kills the environment, then cars from non-fossil sources (or energy that doesn't involve fossil fuels to make it, like elect) are the best choice, right? Making a car that gets 50MPG will make our oil last longer, but it doesn't stop us from buring it

No, most liberal policies fight against natural selection.

Most? Virtually ALL liberal policies are designed to protect those in the weaker position... USUALLY at the expense of the stronger. I'm not saying there aren't many situations where this is the correct thing to do... merely that this is an AMUSINGLY wrong statement
