England's Green Insanity

Apparently the risk of global warming justifies damaging private property in England. A jury in England on September 10th acquitted green activists who damaged a Kent power plant to the tune of 35,000 pounds.

Adding insult to injury for all the rational citizens on the sceptered isle, the power station at Kent is being constantly protested and has cost the police over 6 million pounds with future unforeseen costs still pending. Some of these unforeseen costs will include dispensing with over 100 arrest cases (one of which was a charge for breach of bail). Read more here.

Update: Apparently Al Gore believes this is not such a bad idea. Reuters reports:

"If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration," Gore told the Clinton Global Initiative gathering to loud applause.

It amazes how someone can go to a fancy law school and actually get dumber. If a firefighter breaks your door down to save you from burning alive are you going to have him arrested for property damage? These people are trying to do you a favor and like it or not you are going to see a lot more of this in light of this (awesome) decision. Carbon sequestration is not such a bad idea (like a catalytic converter for your car) even though 'clean coal' is sort of an oxymoron. People (like you) have a tendency to dislike things they don't understand...

You need a civics lesson from Richard Dreyfuss.
