Presidential candidate admits speaking out against global warming fraud takes bravery, says he's 'not afraid.' But how will the mob take this?

.
Organized crime is making a fortune in the 'climate' game so it does take bravery to be a public figure and speak against what's also the biggest profit center in European investment banks.

10/1/11, "Perry at town hall: I’m ‘not afraid’ to call myself a climate change skeptic," The Hill, by Andrew Restuccia

"Texas Gov. Rick Perry stood firm Friday when pressed by a New Hampshire man about his position on climate change, saying

• he is “not afraid” to call himself a climate skeptic.

“For us to take a snapshot in time and to say that what is going on in the country today, the climate change that is going on is man’s fault and we need to jeopardize America’s economy, I’m a skeptic about that…and I’m not afraid to say I’m a skeptic about that,” Perry told a crowd Friday night at a town hall meeting."...

Perry used to speak more forcefully against AGW fraud. Too bad he's into the Texas wind energy boondoggle. He could win on this issue alone. It underlies the left's power, many hedge funds, the UN, etc., and he's waffling. ed.

"Texas Renewable Portfolio Standard," SECO

"Texas is the nation's leader in wind energy thanks to our long-term commitment to bolstering renewable energy sources and diversifying the state's energy portfolio.

Rick Perry, Texas Governor

-----------------------

"“The cost of building thousands of miles of transmission lines to carry wind power across Texas is now estimated at $6.79 billion, a 38 percent increase from the initial projection three years ago.”

8/29/11, "Texas Wind Energy Fails, Again ," National Review, Robert Bryce

• "When the temperature rises, the wind slows down."

"As I wrote in these pages earlier this month, Texas has 10,135 megawatts of installed wind-generation capacity, which is nearly three times as much as any other state. And yet, on Wednesday, all of the state’s wind turbines

• mustered just 880 megawatts

of power when electricity was needed the most. Put another way, even though wind turbines account for about 10 percent of Texas’s 103,000 megawatts of summer electricity-generation capacity, wind energy was able to provide

• just 1.3 percent of the juice the state needed on Wednesday afternoon

• to keep the lights on and the air conditioners humming.

None of this should be surprising."...
