Entry: The Right's Science Problem Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_rights_science_problem#17243 Post contents: Don, The 5MPH was not a quantitative estimate, but rather, to emphasize that the system is far from maximum efficiency. It is not uncommon that people take highways to work, where they are stuck in traffic jams on the order of hours during the day. The traffic jams, moreover, usually consist of one person per car. I agree mostly with the libertarian critique of the all powerful state, but the all powerful oil lobby is not any better. Actually those two are more or less the same thing. I think the problem that complicates this issue is that the conclusions drawn by the institutions of science are not necessarily reliable, because these institutions themselves are corrupt and ideologically biased. But this fact should not blind anyone to what the real problems are. Global warming is a fact regardless of what science says. Scientific solutions, such as recycling or alternative energy sources, do not really solve the problem. Sent at: 2008 07 09
