Barton was the goof who apologized to the BP chief at a Senate hearing on the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster created by BP.

I agree with an earlier post in that I don't know if the statement is more disturbing, or the fact that millions of people actually voted for this cretin.

A typical hurricane releases the equivalent energy of Hiroshima size nuke every minute for more than a week. Even then it represents only a tiny fraction of the total wind energy on the planet.
