I'll post the text right below this line:
Was Kerry one of the 95 who voted against Kyoto---or one of the five who abstained?
Kerry asked how the United States could ignore the position of the European Union, Japan and more than 100 other countries that have endorsed the Kyoto treaty.
This Fred Gwynn looking hypocrite can start by asking himself why he voted for the Byrd-Hagel resolution (which passed 95-0) with the expressed intention of killing any chance of ratification of the Kyoto Agreement in the US Senate.
Lying, gold-digging, disingenuous punk.
Good to know that Americans can count on the Democrats to help the President, that they wouldn't intentionally work to destroy the economy, the justice system and the country for political purposes.
God knows.
The media has tried to convince americans that it is not economical to build nuclear power plants. If that is so, then why is General Electric been tasked to supervise the construction of 25 of them in China? In 1980 GE said that if they were to build an identical power plant in France as in the US that the French regulatory environment is so much different and so much more lenient than the american environment that the power plant in France would cost to build one third what the american power plant would cost. That is an industry that has been regulated to death purposely. As a result while Japan, Germany, France and England can get 80-90% of their electricity from nuclear sources we can get only much less than half. We've shot ourselvces in the foot purposely.
The result is not only much more expensive electricity for the americans, but also much more pollution in the air. Probably 5-10 thousand americans die every year prematurely according to academics who've studied the issue as a result of the excessive regulation on that industry imposed by Washington as compared to the regulations imposed by these other nations on their nuclear industry.
If we revive the nuclear power construction industry in america by backing off on the stupid regulations, then we'd create lots of high paying blue collar jobs and we'd prepare the way for less imports of oil. Where is Bush? Why doesn't GE itself campaign for this in America. Where is the integrity of the American elite to do what's right?
They're real big on GE building 25 plants in China so they can one day engage in nuclear war with us. They're AWOL when it comes to the American interest.
Let's even take this one step further, if there were global warming, it would not be a bad thing. The cost of trying to prevent global warming would be humongous for little if any effect. Why bother?
Bush of course is a weenie, who takes the position that is the worst of all worlds. He agrees that there is global warming, so he dumps science and his base for support and gets zero support from the enviro-wackos, who simply raise the ante and say Bush isn't doing enough about a problem that he admits to. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!!
President Bush withdrew the United States last year from the international Kyoto treaty that aims to cut heat-trapping emissions, saying it was too costly to the economy.
Yes, but he also did it because not all countries are treated equally (the biggest producer of the so-called greenhouse gasses will be China by the end of the decade, and they're immune from Kyoto), and the "science" behind Kyoto is shaky at best. Has he backed down on that now?
