Senator Kerry: Spain's failed green job program was an 'anomaly'
Washington Times Water Cooler ^ | 6-15-10 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 06/15/2010 8:44:55 PM PDT by paltz

I asked Senator Kerry about Spain’s own failed experience in the area of subsidizing alternative energy, and the Massachusetts Senator's response sounded similar to someone saying Marxism or Stalinism never succeeded, because it was never implemented correctly.

Nope. Green jobs suck. Effin' Kerry is making things up.

My first thought was Kerry is an anomaly.

On second thought, umm, no, Kerry is a perfectly normal Democrat.

Well, hold on....

Whatever a ‘green job’ is, there’s nothing wrong with hydro power, we’ve had it for years. Now that wind can be harvested on a utility scale, let’s add that to the list, where it makes sense. How about nuclear - thanks to Hanoi Jane and the “China Syndrome” we backed away from another clear energy source for political reasons, not technical ones. Ultimately all energy comes/came from the sun, it’s just a matter of how it is recovered and converted to the form we need to power our homes, run our cars, etc. And fossil fuels will be a big part of that portfolio too, for the forseeable future.

Spain aside, there’s room for renewable energy as part of our portfolio, and Kerry isn’t an expert on energy OR economics anyhow.

Kerry has always been at the front of the climate change scam.

Nuclear energy comes from the sun?

Lerch must have some blind trust or private equity firm inserting dollars in the CCX from his wife’s dead husband’s fortune.

Gore
Soros
Goldman-Sachs
Franklin Raines
Fannie Mae
The Joyce Foundation
Emerald Cities

They all have their money on the pass line and Al Gore is rolling the dice...

LOL! Yeah, like the collapse of Socialism in Nazi Germany, and in Russia was an anomaly. It just wasn’t run by the right people, don’t you know.

An "anomaly" like the "anomalous" failure of every command-and-control statist economy everywhere around the globe that 'RATS like Kerry are trying to force on the USofA. Sure "Green Jobs" was a disaster in Spain, but the Spaniards don't have geniuses like Kerry, Obama, Van Jones, etc. to administer it. Thanx !

Wind is totally useless, as you need alternate sources to back it up, this has been proven. Wind needs to go the way of the Dodo bird.

Meanwhile, Texas marches on towards more wind power.
