Yes, and he was actually trying to do the right thing.
Heaven save us from TOTUS!

Future Fuels: Our secretary of energy pushes bio-refineries and windmills to oil executives at an energy conference as the administration announces a three-year offshore drilling ban. This is a policy for economic suicide.
They don't qualify as an official group of victims, but carbon-Americans, as they have been called, did not have much to cheer about last week, when Energy Secretary Steven Chu addressed CERAWeek 2010, a premier industry conference hosted by IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates.
With an economy struggling to regain sound footing, Chu advocated a starvation diet devoid of additional fossil fuels that are to remain under the ground and seabed. Instead, he supports 53% more funding for wind research and a 22% jump for solar research.

Obama should be imprisoned for treason. He seems to be doing any and everything in his power to destroy the U.S.
Every day this guy gives me yet another reason to hunker in my bunker, spend as little money as possible, not hire anyone for my business ventures and keep every dime I can out of the hands of Government.
I have always been this way, but I am now ‘doubling down’ thanks to him.
Remember all the damage Carter did to America in four short years? We may never recover from 0bama.
I am for the Going Galt lifestyle myself.
I have not always been this way, but I am now and will continue for as long as the socialist is in power - forever if his legacy lasts.

Like what?
Like most of us know what but don’t have the guts to do so we will wait to see what can happen in November, wait to see what happens when the next Congress convenes, wait until 2012. Wait to see what we have left to work with.
The whole intent is to drive up the price of oil in order to make “alternative energy” more cost effective. Stupid is as stupid does.
I am not sure about saving every dollar you can. Todays dollar will be worth 98 cents next month, 96 cents a few months after that. The value of the dollar is declining. Buy now what you need because it will cost more next month.
Buy your stuff now for the bunker.
As for keeping as much from the Government as possible, I agree!!
Yes, and he was actually trying to do the right thing.
Heaven save us from TOTUS!
We must use every political tool we have to stall or kill every piece of legislation Obama Pelosi and Reid want until a new Congress can be seated. At that time there is a very good chance we will control both houses and can block everything Obama is trying to do.
I don’t think that is what that said.
Revolution!
We’ll certainly send him a message in November and send many of his cronies packing!
You got that right. Zero said the price of energy would necessarily skyrocket under his policies in order to make alternative energy appear more competitive.
“I am not sure about saving every dollar you can. Todays dollar will be worth 98 cents next month, 96 cents a few months after that. The value of the dollar is declining.”
Yes. I know. That’s why I have gold and silver. And lead. :)
“Buy now what you need because it will cost more next month.”
Gasoline crept up to $2.77/gallon here this week. Survey says it’ll be back to $3.50 a gallon by summer.
By mid-June 2010 inflation is predicted to take off, possibly hitting 4.5%, so doing some smart stocking up right now would be prudent. :)

Chu’s choo-choo has gone chugging ‘round the bend!
Buck Ofama.
PING!
Your betting against ACORN, The SEIU and Chicago style politics. The Democrats RULE the big cities - and thats where elections are won and lost.
The only way we win is to make them afraid to show up. And that tactic is problematical at best!!
“Remember all the damage Carter did to America in four short years? We may never recover from 0bama.”
Bammy has done more damage in his first 6 months than the damage Carter did in 4 years. And, no, we will never recover.
You’re most likely right. I was being too optimistic. :)
What makes you think there will actually be elections in November?
At this point I’m not entirely sure there will be to be honest with you.
I didn’t actually think he would get this far.
“Chu acknowledged the role cleaner-burning natural gas can play in electricity generation, but only as a “transition to other fuels” in coming years. And the administration continues to gobble up lands where it might be found and impose environmental regulations that curtail the use of new technologies such as fracking to get more oil and natural gas from America’s vast shale deposits.” In the first place, the correct spelling is fracing..these ignorant asses can’t even get that right. In the second place, it is not new technology. We have successfully been fracing for 60 years. The reason it is being touted as new technology is because the Coal Industry has been painting it as a dangerous new technology, even though it has been environmentally successful for 60 years. I think our industry should take pictures of “clean coal technology.” What they do is spray a water mist over their smoke stacks, which collects in sludge pools. There is no such thing as clean coal technology.
2012 can not come soon enough...............................
Amen.
It may be time to break up the nation. Let the blue states go their own way and let the red states govern according to the Constitution.
We will come out in greater numbers this time.

“Remember all the damage Carter did to America in four short years? We may never recover from 0bama.”
I was making my 5 year old Grand-Daughter clean up her room yesterday and she was complaining that it was more fun making the mess than it was cleaning the mess up.
A perfect metaphor for Obama’s term as President.
Out of the mouths of babes, as usual! :)
