Our probes orbiting Saturn and Jupiter have found oceans of hydrocarbons on the moons of these planets. How many ‘fossils’ did these places have? We have only drilled down a small portion of the Earth. There is more and more oil and gas ‘found’ every day all around the Earth. It is natural, a part of the Earth.

Trillion dollars of borrowed taxpayer money to purchase every American family a Radio Shack TRS-80 computer.

Great analogy. I bought a trash 80 back then and I bought solar panels over the last 10 years. I have not taken a dime in tax rebates, nor do I feed any of my unreliable energy to the grid for more than it is worth. I simply like to experiment and learn.

Yeah, we have been screwed in the short term by the waste and fraud of Obama’s Green Economy, but we are going to be really screwed 20-30 years down the road when all the small, innovative young energy companies Obama drove into bankruptcy with his ill advised green energy scam will not be around to grow and develop technologically over time to provide the Alternative Energy equivalents to the Apple iPad and iPhone, Google Web Browser, Digital / Wireless Communications, Digital GPS, Digital music, photography and video industries that all were nurtured and spawned by the original IBM PC and Apple Macintosh.

In fact, today we are not even able to get the Alternative Energy analog to the Radio Shack TRS -80 because the Obama engineered implosion of the alternative energy industry has driven even the old line, established alternative energy suppliers of obsolete and last generation technology products into bankruptcy along with all the rest..

Very powerful essay, rdcbn.

I think you should post it as a new thread so it will gain more attention and appreciation on FR.

Which is exactly why the Marxists love it. You can hide lots of laundered money in boondoggles.

Yes, the democrat Marxists, repub corporatist cronies, etc., are all in line to profit from this wasteful technology that does not have a chance to meet our energy needs.

Instead of legitimately providing a service to the people, these guys will siphon resources that would go to entrepreneurs of useful businesses.

Unfortunately, Obama’s big push to force a trillion dollars worth of crappy old technology and even more crappy immature new technology on America as “shovel ready” “green energy” projects into the market kick start some ill conceived, impossible to implement , doomed to failure from the start utopian Green Energy Revolution to kick start a “Green Economy” has been a disaster and almost a TOTAL WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY.

Yes, a total waste of taxpayer money, but it DID enrich his cronies. Not a total waste, in his eyes.
