Clean Energy Future Just A ‘Red Herring’
PA Pundits International ^ | 16 June 2010 | TonyfromOz

Posted on 06/15/2010 9:11:18 PM PDT by TonyfromOz

When the President uses the Gulf oil spill disaster to push the barrow for Cap and Trade Legislation, be fully aware this is just a red herring, because the one bears no relation to the other. The Legislation's proposer Senator Kerry came out yesterday and said the Legislation would only cost less than a dollar a day to lower the temperature. Notice how they always use the lowest possible price, without telling you the larger figure of how much this legislation will rake in for the Government. That amount, easily calculated comes in at around $260 Billion, each and every year. This has nothing at all to do with the environment. It's just about the money.

The whole Co2 thing has been debunked. Apparently, Washington is the last to know!

It’s just about the money

Oh yes, we must keep Miss Nancy in her new 18,000 a month office, private military jet, finely stocked bar with snacks for the discerning palate.

We must also keep the first family traveling the world over and experiencing the best restaurants, plays, shopping...whatever their heart desires.

We need baskets of money for Obama wistfully throw out to the poor nations of the world, nations oppressed by the evil Americans, forced penitence on the greedy Americans by the enlightened messiah.

Later, if there are a few pennies left, they MAY think about spending them protecting our borders.

No...they will pitch the pennies in a fountain, buy us some wishes to live off whilst we wait for that hope and change. (don’t forget, there will be a 20% tax on that wish)

40+ years of solar research... and where has it gotten us?

nowhere.

either the alternatives are there, or they’re not. currently, they don’t produce anything near what we need and don’t have the capability to come close.

Many are locked in the US Patent Office while small biz
funding has evaporated. This is Obama’s and Koonin’s fault.
They have attacked all the future energy sources of America.

Obama ... because he hates America.
Koonin ... because he worked for BP (great job there, Jason).

You are so correct.

Someone made the point on FOX, last night, that if alternative energy was currently cost effective, Private Business would be fully engaged. It was also estimated that every green energy job created costs three conventional energy employees to lose their jobs.

This could be speculation, but it is something to fully consider.
