Chris Horner has been all over the story of Spain’s unimpressive experience with green energy. Spanish newspapers have finally called out the U.S. President for choosing a failed model for a “Green Economy.” From the other day:
On eight separate occasions, President Barack Obama has referred to the “green economy” policies enacted by Spain as being the model for what he envisioned for America.
Later came the revelation that Obama administration senior Energy Department official Cathy Zoi — someone with serious publicized conflict of interest issues — demanded an urgent U.S. response to the damaging report from the non-governmental Spanish experts so as to protect the Obama administration’s plans…But today’s leaked document reveals that even the socialist Spanish government now acknowledges the ruinous effects of green economic policy.
Now the Spanish press is on to the story. Buried on page 34 of today’s Gaceta is this headline:
Spain admits that the “green economy” it sold to Obama is a bust Spanish government leaks a report acknowledging the grave economic consequences of betting on renewable energy
The first few lines:
The president of the United States, Barack Obama, does not appear to have chosen well in basing his “green economy” on Spain’s. After the government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero demonized a study by various experts on the economic downsides of renewable energies, it just leaked an internal document from the Spanish cabinet which is even more negative.
Among the findings, paraphrased from the right sidebar:
--Green energy is 120 percent more expensive, simply due to the extra costs of solar and wind, and the evolution of the market is not going to bring down those costs any time soon.
--The clean energy sector is slated to receive 126 billion euros in the next 25 years, but no one knows where the money is going to come from . In 2009, the subsidies were worth 5 billion euros.
--Photovoltaic solar power accounts for 53 percent of the extra cost of renewables, whereas it produces only 11 percent of Spain’s renewable energy.
--Each “green job” comes at the expense of 2.2 traditional jobs.
He works for Saudia Arabia and they are also funders of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood plus 10% owners of Fox News. Green energy is used to keep us slaves to the Saudis and so we can get the full Islamification treatment to become dhiminis.
Sound over the top? Muslims in the US Army EXECUTING 13 innocent American soldiers on a US base. Did you ever think you would see that in your life?
The 5 TV networks are all for Obama. As long as americans pay a month cable or sat TV bill then the elites win.
Obama is taking us over EVERY cliff there is.
Because he’s a radical and he’s incompetent.
The man has no business leading a country.
You're right on one count, but he's done so complete a job of it that I can't consider him incompetent.
