Instead of Green Goofiness, Celebrate Human Achievement this Saturday

The Costs of Cap and Trade

Is Global Cooling Happening?

Around New Mexico we’ve had some interesting weather variations this fall. Well above average temperatures have been followed quickly by temperatures that are far below normal.
