I’m going to read this later. It’s just too depressing to contemplate on a Saturday morning. I fully expect to find a lot of common-sense, well-thought-out solutions to our energy problems in this bill, a bill which I fully expect to fail. Which is why it’s depressing. But I will read it later.
And by the way, why don’t we just FEED the friggin’ polar bears if we care so much about them?
And I know just what to feed them with!
Drill for oil everywhere it is domestically found.
Raise the tax on a barrel of imported oil or gas to $50.00
Build Nuke plants and coal plants and coal gasification plants
Let companies write off 100% of the cost of coveting their facilities to alternative energies.
Purchase price of a hybrid or alternative fuel vehicle 100% tax deductible.
Using the purchasing power of the Fed Govt to help develop the alternative fuel vehicle technology by mandating x% of Govt vehicles purchase each be powered by alternative energy sources. Increase the % of vehicles purchased by 2% each and every year.
Top to bottom review and rationalization of EPA and Department on Energy to rationalize, standardize, steam line and fast track all Govt regulatory activities overseeing any form of energy production
Mandate a single national standard for gasoline production to fully replace the current patch work of 93 different federal and state standards
etc etc etc etc etc etc ad nausea
Freepers can do it in 30 minutes, DC political has taken 30 years, trillions of dollars and still cannot get it head out of it's butt which indicates to me the politicans are just happy leaving the mess the way it is.
“...why don’t we just FEED the friggin’ polar bears if we care so much about them?”
Yes, I think enviro-whacko, self-sacrifice would be a good start.
Can we feed them liberals?
