The League of Conservation Voters, a non-profit group that tries to turn environmental issues into national priorities, today added Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle to its 2010 "Dirty Dozen" list.
The list includes politicians from both parties who oppose clean energy development, climate legislation and other green initiatives.
"Sharron Angle would prefer to stifle Nevada's cutting-edge clean energy economy rather than promote policies that would create jobs and increase investments in the state's already prosperous renewable industries," said Tony Massaro, the League's senior vice president for political affairs. "Her extremist views on climate change put her far outside the mainstream."
At a forum last week, Angle advocated for building two coal-fired plants in Ely, encouraging more lithium mining in Nevada and promoting the state’s potential for nuclear energy.
On the campaign trail, she has called for the elimination of the Environmental Protection Agency and referred to a BP escrow account as a slush fund.
The League also included Angle in a video that highlights several Republican candidates' positions on environmental issues. It features a cartoon Sarah Palin hosting a "Tea Time" talk show.
"Just recently my gal Sharron Angle said she doesn't buy into the whole man-caused climate change mantra of the left," the Palin caricature says in the video. "Well I ain't buyin' it either."
The real Sarah Palin recently endorsed Angle.
Angle spokeswoman Ciara Matthews referred all questions to Communication Director Jarrod Agen. Agen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Since 1996, more than 60 percent of the candidates named to the Dirty Dozen list have been defeated.
Sharon Angle is right. Man made global warming is a hoax and fraud perpetuated by powerful players seeking to benefit from taxing citizens with Carbon taxes. Man made climate change so-called science has already been discredited(climate-gate, hard facts) yet these compartmentalized groups like above continue to push their agenda. This from a formal liberal "green" democrat.
Take your climate taxes and put them where the sun doesn't shine. Meanwhile, real environmental catastrophes and problems fall the wayside.
Lithium mining makes sense. I think we get most of the lithium used in the states from South America. I'm not sure what the environmental ramifications of Lithium mining are.
I think our lithium mine is more environmentally sound than Bolivia's. Reid has been pretty pro-mining over the years.
Sharon Angle will make a diffrence unlike our crooked senator Harry Reid. Nevada has fallen under Reid. His failure is our misery. It's time we finally change direction and send a loud and clear message to our president, elect Sharon Angle in November.
We really need new blood and overhaul Washington. But really, Sharron Angle? She and Palin are both nitwits who feed off fear. Give us someone with common sense, not agendas. We need someone who represents the average person who is trying to instill values in our children, not just the Christian right.
Comrade hal0bender,
You make a number of assertions without data or citations. Where are the references to support your bold assertion that "Man made climate change so-called science has already been discredited(climate-gate, hard facts)"? Do you work for the petro-socialist Koch brothers? Are you a out-of-state 12$/hour party hack? What are your credentials? Why do you post lies and distortions? If, as Frau Angle says, climate change is a "hoax" why don't you prove it is a "hoax"?
You climate change deniers CRACK ME UP!!!
Anglites Unite!!!
Perpetuate your foolishness...
It makes you all look like a bunch of hillbillies!
Just say no --- to Angle. She's used to saying "no" so let's all tell her "no"....
113 in Los Angeles on Sept 27th.
Yeah, that's perfectly normal (rolling eyes).
Well I'm not going to provide and appendix of information. I'm sure with your large brain you can research the web for plenty of counter arguments to al Gore's ridiculous claims. This clown owns beach from mansions and has profited in the billions from fraudulent "carbon credits".
Here's a video you should watch(but you probably won't). This is what changed my mind on the whole issue rather than listening to the major media.

Wish I owned a "beach from" mansion. Even better to have one near the ocean. Another Sharron voter shows his lack of education.
hal0bender, you seem to be, just as my grandkids say about their grandma, "so easy to scare". If that video you provided convinced you of anything, you must also be "so easy to fool".
"There is something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear"
2.5m people affected by Pakistan floods
Thousand of walruses beached off the Chukchi Sea in North West Alaska
Thousand of dead fish line the Jersy shore
Fifty-five killer whales were stranded on a South African beach 6-1-2009
Atleast 25 pilot whales dead in mass beaching in N. Zealand 9-22-2010
Last month 63 pilot whales strandeed themselves near Kaitaia about 90 kilometers farther away.
People what I'am saying is, either we can deal with the fact of climate change head on or we can take this approach.

"Sharron Angle is newest member of 2010 'Dirty Dozen'"
But a long term member of the Crazy Dozen!
The Republicans said no to supoena power for the Oil spill commission today.(filbuster hold stuff) Do you really want to put the nuke nuts back in power ?
I see that many of Sharron Angle's paid employees are here spamming the comments page.
Whenever possible, they get themselves into a fake rage, kind of like a two-year-old who missed a nap, and spout nonsense. Silly little kids.
gmag39,
After reading many of your posts I am starting to see pattern with Angle Supports.
Name calling, personal attacks and hitting women at debates.
Many of you Angle supports posting are doing a great job getting votes for Mr. Reid.
After people read your posts they don't want to be involved with anyone that you might support.
Keep promoting her, the party needs more like you. ;-)
pjoke is cutting and pasting from post to post today. Pitiful, Republican Tea Party schlock. When are your handlers going to let you speak your own mind?
Everyday, crazy teabaggers prove their lack of
education and total ignorance.
Sharron Angle and Sarah Palin are living proof
that we need the Department of Education.
Greedy republicans are in denial about everything.
It would be a grand thing to see if, come November, Nevadans stood toe-to-toe against Angle's "Drill, baby, drill" agenda the same way the GOP senators stand toe-to-toe against policies that would help America.
omrade hal0bender,
Thanks for your insightful followup email, with link to the video on youtube. Yes, the video was filled with interviews of unidentified petro-socialists and oil industry stooges ... not very compelling.
Your denial of climate change seems to be based on these allegations;
1. You don't like Al Gore.
2. You say he owns a beach house.
3. You say he has made money.
4. Since you've made allegations 1 - 3, therefore climate change doesn't exist (Q.E.D.).
Why don't we use the scientific method to prove fossil fuel emissions have no adverse affect on humans, through an experiment? In this experiment, we will have an S.U.V. idling while you breath from its tailpipe while watching the video you've referenced from youtube.
"Sharron Angle is newest member of 2010 'Dirty Dozen' "
That's a badge of honor in the eyes of her teabagging supporters. To top this award she'd have to patrol the southern border and go all Second Amendment remedy on a few migrant farm workers who are trying to slip into our country illegally.
@rob:
Sorry to bother you, but since I do not know yet, I have to ask you a simple background-check question:
Who are the so-called "Cock Brothers", I mean, you mentioned them in your comment, but I still do not know, who they are. And my second question is: Why the hell do you name that French whorehouse named Ms Angle, I mean, why do you call that political skunk "Frau Angle" all of the time.
I mean, I still dare doubting her being able to speak a single word of German. Thanks for info. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Chucky.
vegaslee...
I am, for once, at a loss for words.
pjoke...
On Nov. 2, we southern Nevadans will send
crazy Angle back to Reno, where she will
retire and use government health care.
