Re the letter: “Renewable energy will grow jobs,” published April 29, why wasn’t Mr. Tolbert identified as being on the staff of a leftist’ PAC called “Environment Virginia” (www.environmentvirginia.org) and that his letter is their political literature?
When Tolbert uses terms such as “heal our planet” he again proves environmentalism is a pseudo-religion violating separation of religion/state. I have news for Mr. Tolbert and other followers of the watermelon cult (Green theology, Red politics): The earth is not holy, divine, sacred, or god/goddess in any form. This pantheistic New Age nonsense has no business as government policy.
He perpetrates the lie about “jobs” to promote this belief system because all the computer models used to promote the man-induced global warming hysteria have been debunked by the record cold of the past 18 months that wasn’t supposed to have happened. Why are ice jams, etc. causing flooding in Fargo and the Midwest?
These so-called “green jobs” will require massive corporate welfare and will result in huge cost increases for energy. It will waste perhaps trillions of dollars. But don’t worry when the Messiah in the White House that promised tax breaks for 95 percent of us will simply kills us with a carbon tax, but he promises to send us a check for two-thirds of the loot collected. That’s the tax cuts that liar in the White House promised, which is really a tax increase.
Finally the Herald Courier endorsed those stupid wind farms in Wise County without revealing the true cost to consumers. Its reporting on this issue seemed biased and one-sided. According to the New York Times (March 29) wind power costs even more than proven, reliable nuclear power plants. But the watermelon cult objects to that, too, even with the projected 50 percent increase in electric bills.
Tell Congressman Boucher not to support the American Clean Energy and Security Act and its hidden religious and social agenda.

Editor’s note: This newspaper endorsed a site in Wise County, Va. for a possible wind project that is secluded from the public and has a willing private landowner, but noted it is not clear if the project is financially viable. We also stated we would determine the effect on ratepayers if the project moves forward.
