…recycling is no way to reduce global warming. In fact, by increasing energy use, it worsens it.
[Update mid morning]
Someone asked in comments in this post if I made up the phrase “Green Man’s Burden,” and if it was the first usage. Well, it turns out that I wasn’t first (though I did come up with it independently). Here’s an instance of it at the Competitive Enterprise Institute back in 2000. And here’s an instance on Usenet from 1991. Great minds think alike, I guess.
It will raise energy prices, raise food prices, increase hunger, worsen appliance performance, make the roads more dangerous and bring back Carter-era gas lines and shortages just when we need them the least – after disasters. It’s a horrendous concoction of every bad energy idea imaginable and will impact every family trying to make ends meet around the country. It’s unbelievably stupid in its rehashing of failed ideas and do-it-yourself economics. It needs to go down in flames, and soon.

There’s a request in comments for a link to the bill itself. I’m guessing that it’s this one (thank Newt Gingrich for Thomas).

Now that it’s officially hurricane season, we’ve been thinking about investing in a generator. But this backup battery looks like it might be an interesting solution. It’s also got a fifteen hundred watt voltage inverter built in, so it looks like you could use your car as a quiet gasoline generator.
Roy Innes, on the Green Man’s Burden. Contrary to Kermit, it’s not that hard being green. It’s only hard on the benighted objects of the greens’ affection.
