His history pushing Green Energy might be humorous if it didn't flush money down the sewer.

It doesn't work.. The reason you can't have an "All of the above" energy policy is that once the subsidies run out, green energy dies.. It can't attract private capital without big subsidies .. It can't do this because it can't compete. It's just not profitable.
So when you hear someone pumping this, you know that they will eventually have to try and make conventional energy more expensive... To make the green stuff affordable by way of comparison, so it can attract capital when you stop subsidizing it. If they want green, Hydro is green.. The levelized costs line up and it works.. But just try getting it permitted.. It's the one truly useful form of green energy the dems hate. |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE ONLY LONG-TERM COST TO HYDRO IS ENVIRONMENTAL.... AND THAT CAN BE EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. CONSIDERED HOLISTICALLY, IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS SOLIDLY POSITIVE. SOME RATIONAL RESTRAINT IN POPULATION GROWTH WILL ANSWER MOST LEGITIMATE ENVIRONMENTAL/AESTHETIC CONCERNS. WHERE BROAD POPULAR LIBERTY OBTAINS, POPULATIONS USUALLY STABILIZE AT RATIONAL LEVELS.... ABSENT OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE OR TYRANNISTS' MEDDLING. |

Some of the loudest cheers were when the president said Osama bin Laden is no longer a threat to this country and that by 2014 the war in Afghanistan will be over.
How much do you want to bet that 75% of the Obama supporters in attendance have no idea who OBL was, and think Afghanistan is an island off the coast of Costa Rica? |
