From global warming, to climate change, to stem cell research, to biotechnology, to many other technological innovations, independent voters aren’t interested in the usual partisan spin on science issues.

Science and technological innovation, when applied in an efficient, ethical, and transparent manner, can serve as vital tools in improving the economy, enhancing our quality of life, and crafting effective public policy. Science is all about questioning the consensus and maintaining an open mind, no matter where the facts may lead.

of delusion surrounding California’s special elections continues, the

After all,
the Obama Administration has acted quickly to resuscitate a gravely ill
economy while at the same time continues to deftly prosecute a
two-front war against terrorism.

side of the Fishery Management Council decided on Wednesday, April 8
to basically call off this year’s salmon fishing season, after fears

address – namely, California’s divisive concessions to environmental
lobbying.

By Susannah Kopecky on 04/22/2009 in Economy, Science with 0 Comments California felt about a 20
percent drop in exports through the month of February, which means that only a little over three-quarters
