So, how is it that this excuse/explanation doesn't apply to coal fired power plants? How can this fool expect all that electrical power to come from solar and wind sources?
Obama is such a moron. He’s clueless.
Oh ffs. He’s doubling down on Solyndra er al.
This guy is such a charlatan.
What are we to drive coast to coast with?
Pixie dust?
What is your solution Barack?
We are all going to have to mount solar panels on our cars.
Poll at the site. Should the government pay for research to make cars more fuel efficient?
UNSURE 90 VOTES
YES 626 VOTES

Don’t understand why people who can’t make up their mind even bother participating in a poll. How difficult is it to say yes or no to something.
I heard the same ***hole **** from Jimmy Carter.
My truck has work to do it's not a golf cart.
I like it ....Im betting on really long extension cords and I’ve invested heavily in the industry
The only viable solutions to this are biofuel (which isn’t workable except maybe for biodiesel) or electric. Electric only works if the whole generation chain is de-linked from fossil fuels (because the fossil fuel market is global; unless the Zer0 is planning to completely isolate the us from teh global market), so that means the only viable generation source for that much electric power is nuclear.
Somehow I don’t see the greens going for that one, not that they’re known for actually thinking anything through to that extent.
It’s time for Barry to start flying on Michelle’s broom and ground Air Force 1.
Nat Gas is the only realistic alternative. And even it doesn’t approach the range we can get from a tank of gasoline or diesel fuel.
Fortunately, the Obamas have plenty of natural gas...
i say we must shift the us off of socialism and government market interference.
Let’s see. Obama was a lecturer on Constitutional Law, which he has subverted, perverted and ignored. He gets an “F” grade.
Obama seems to have failed basic economics given that his handouts to cronies/crooks and communists have done nothing to improve the economy of the country. Give him a “F”.
Obama doesn’t know that besides the oil used to make gasoline, a car also uses oil to lubricate the pistons/engine and is used as axle grease to keep the ballbearings from freezing up, etc.
And don’t forget antifreeze, transmission fluid, and brake fluid. Give Dumbo another “F” for car mechanics/maintenance.
He thinks the US has 57 states. He flunks Geography with an “F”.
He funds non-functional or overly expensive “green projects” while destroying our best domestic sources of energy, coal and oil. Give him an “F” for understanding the mechanisms of energy/power, power transmission, pipelines (Keystone), jobs creation, and the fact that no new oil refinery has been built in the US in 30 years, with a couple having had major fires or been down for extended repairs in the past few years.
Give Dumbo another “F” on Economics, Energy Creation, and Industrial Infrastructure issues.
In summation, all Obama’s accomplishments are a just a bunch of fu*king “F’s”.
His whole term in office can be summed up in two letters “OF”. You can figure out what they stand for and it ain’t polite but it’s the truth.
I would place big money down on a bet that he could not coherently describe the functioning of an internal combustion engine, spark or diesel.
Why Obama’s “Energy Security Trust” Is A Bad Idea (another tax)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2997668/posts
“.What the president proposes is to divert some $2 billion of those oil and gas revenues into a special account over the next decade. Out of this account he proposes to subsidize research on alternative energy sources. ...
... this is a terrible idea — and a backdoor to the imposition of a nationwide carbon tax “
I guess this would be "progress" for Obama.
High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGR) that have 50% efficiencies (as opposed to the 30% nuclear reactors have now) would be safer and cheaper to operate. These could produce hydrogen gas using the high temperatures and other processes to separate the hydrogen out of water directly. With cheap hydrogen we could power cars using advanced hydrogen storage technology being developed.
This from the guy whose family burned how many tons of jet fuel sipping around the globe in the last 4 years?
