In his recent inaugural address, President Barack Obama promoted the use of the least reliable and most expensive sources of energy: wind and solar power.

An Arm And A Leg
“The overarching nonsense is the twin claim that the science of climate change is settled, and that it represents the greatest crisis facing the planet.
