Err umm wasn’t this all about trying to stop the construction of an off-shore gas well? A fuel that produces 75% of the carbon of other petroleum product? If we’re gunna kick the carbon habit, its all the way with solar, wind, & wave while we still have the fuels to power the plants to manufacture the infrastructure…..
I’m sure Mailbu has its heart firmly in its real estate value back pocket, but its a bit like giving up smoking ( of which I have more knowledge than I care to share with any of you) – we either come to terms with moving away from the carbon economy or accept we are an evolutionary dead-end, mindlessly hurtling toward our own extinction. The ultimate proof against creationism I suppose. Nice to be proved right, but a bit pointless when we’re extinct.

Piers Akerman is RIGHT winger? (How the wheel turns!)

As I recall it he was a VERY active lefty agitator.

The gas terminal is to be 14 miles off shore which is out of sight, but those coked up celebs in Malibu would still be offended by the very thought, precious things.

With the exception of Ronald Reagan, almost every Hollywood star has been dead wrong on every serious political question

He is also 100% right.

Oh really?

Which Hollywood celebs were against the end of Jim Crow in the south?

Or wasn’t this a “serious political question”?

Akers is a tool. Anyone who respects him is a fool.

Steve at the Pub.

He is also 100% right.

Well no he isn’t, this is about the stupid talking points the right always employ when they arrive at the wrong side of history, which nowdays is on just about every substantive topic around.

In this case blame the left or enviromentalists for the increasing change in climate. You see, if only these nasty Malibu style lefties and enviros would lets us grown ups get on with doing things we be able to deal with climate change.

My response? Whatever fat boy.

Ultimately if that’s what it takes for Piers and his band of merry jokers to come to grips with this issue I don’t care, just as long as they comes to the party. In the meantime we’re gonna have fun charting their twisted and turning logic.

or heard Greens MP Bob Brown and his little band of exotics lambast us for wasting energy when he steps off a kerosene-guzzling jet.

Piers is just a Corporate lackey…attacking a man who puts his money where his mouth is when it comes to protecting & fighting for ‘endangered species’, as Brown is doing in a legal case, demonstrates how low Piers is on the moral development chart. A greedy, hired gun who is becoming past-tense by the moment.

Piers can’t get his limited nut around the fact that the boss has gone over to the other side,

Think so?…I’m sure Rupert M. is more concerned about promoting Global Warming to earn more ‘panic’ bucks…& will use the theory to push for nuclear energy & clean coal…serves the interests of his mates for him to go w/ the flow right now. Global Warming is a bona-fide issue…but ‘pro-war’ Rupert is no saviour…he’s a chameleon. Don’t forget that he eventually turned on the Tories in UK to support Blair…look how that turned out…:(

EYES WIDE SHUT prevails.

Oh bollocks, Steve. Bunging in an LPG terminal at Malibu is about as appropriate as plonking one down on Boni beach.

two of the major green-approved technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (natural gas and wind power) attract all manner of NIMBY opposition when companies actually try to build them.

Agreed. Where my grandparents live in SA (Onkaparinga council district) they were involved in campaign to build turbines in the hills behind Aldinga. It was opposed by a lot of people who thought it would be an eyesore. The hills were featureless lumps that turn an ugly shade of yellow each summer. What idiots.

According to the above commenters this Piers is “Dog-Whistling”, he experiences “Palsied Tumescence”, & lots of other things.

He is also 100% right.

No the original Snark comes from Akers.

What percentage of the rate payers of the city of Malibu are Hollywood stars? 0.05%?

Are their opinions on the gas plant distinguishable from their non-celeb neighbours? No.

Do celebs owe it to the world to be more sacrificial of their private interests? No.

Would Akers achieve one of his rare hard-ons if he wrote a denunciatory screed about the lack of public-spiritedness of mail deliverers domiciled in the City of Malibu? No.

This is all about the palsied tumescence of Piers Akerman.
