Incoming White House energy-environment czar Carol Browner was recently discovered to be a commissioner in Socialist International. While that revelation has been ignored by the mainstream media and blithely dismissed by her supporters, you may soon be paying the cost of Browner’s political beliefs in your electricity bill.
So what does all this have to do with your electricity bill? In late-December, Carbon Control News reported that Browner was a “strong backer” of utility “decoupling,” which had emerged as a “key climate policy priority for Obama.”
How would decoupling actually function in practice? There are several different schemes for decoupling, but their tedious complexity precludes elaboration here. But the schemes all essentially amount to the same thing -- sticking it to ratepayers and taxpayers. This should come as no surprise, when you stop to think about it.

Lovely.
All this does is lend more cedence to the theory that being a Leftwingtard is a result of a mental illness.
Course not. That would be impolite.
this nation will never recover from this administration.
Not sure this position requires Senate confirmation.
She doesn’t need Senate confirmation I believe.
“Redder than Obama Knows” )
I doubt that
There is no filibuster possible because Browner is not a cabinet nominee. She is a “climate czar” which is something that Obama just came up with, and she is not subject to the consent of the senate.
We need to create a new country and get the hell out of Dodge.
The communists in this country have been on a 50 year “Long
March.”
Good. Steels my resolve to continue my quest to go ‘John Gault’ for the next four years.
No spending other than on essentials. No trips, no new car, no new clothing, no new nothing. Money is NOT going into the economy for goods and services...it’s going into my mattress. Tax dollars paid in will be at a minimum because I’ll work less and less and work more and more under the table for cash, or barter. I’ll do without.
F-em. (She said with a smile.) :)
I’ll join you. I’m already packed. :)
Or take this one back.
>>this nation will never recover from this administration.<<
And we haven’t seen anything yet.
Thanks for clearing up that Ms. Browner is not a cabinet nominee. For some reason I thought she was being nominated for Secretary of Energy. My bad!
Let's see, Obama had a liberation-theology-practicing "spiritual mentor" for twenty years, he was given $50 million to distribute by a Marxist/terrorist fellow board member, and he has appointed to the position of "energy-environment czar" a "commissioner in Socialist International.
I'm beginning to notice a trend here, but I can't quite make it out.
I thought the same thing about Jimmy Carter, so don't give up hope. But yes, things look very grim indeed. I think we'll be longing for the days of Carterian stagflation before OhBummer's term is up.
Browner’s past record include using the power of each office to subvert national policy and structure. She will continue in that vein.
And, I’ll guarantee you that Zero’s supporters will claim that this in no way implicates Buraq or the Democrats as
socialists.
I really don’t see a way for the country to be united ideologically again. There are two distinct factions with opposing goals.
Of course not - that would be guilt by association! :)
I’d like to decouple government with my decoupled hatred of outlandishly stupid people such as Browner.
Suggest you turn those FRAUDS into commodities or precious metals BEFORE stashing them.
One of my favorite recent news items was about the farmer —probably an Obama voter — who stopped by the bank and pulled 8 grand in 20s out of his account, put them into Ziplocs, stuffed them into PVC pipes and buried them somewhere on his 300 acres.
When he goes to dig them up in a few years, that 8 grand MAY be just enough to purchase the shovel.
During the hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic, Germans wheeled shopping carts filled with literally trillions of marks to pay for a single loaf of bread. Employees asked to be paid their wages each morning so that they could shop at noon before merchants posted the afternoon price rises. Many would bundle the marks in rags and hurl them over the factory fence so their wives could get to the store before prices went up again.
One poor fellow trundled down the street to the store with a wheelbarrow filled with marks and left it unattended for a moment. When he returned, a thief had dumped the currency into the street — and made of with the wheelbarrow!
Get ready folks. It’s coming HERE!
Czar? Weren’t Czar’s Russin Autocratic (Unelected) Rulers..?
So we really have become the Soviet-Union-lite?
Energy costs are going to skyrocket because of this idiot “environmentalism”. This is just a political dodge designed to help the Democrats.
If Obama/Waxman/Pelosi/Browner get their way, yeah.
this nation never recovered from FDR and Johnson.
You have mail. :)
I am in total agreement. The ship is sinking. There's no sense in us bailing while the left continues to pump water into the boat.
“Good. Steels my resolve to continue my quest to go ‘John Gault’ for the next four years.”
LOL! Just dusted off my copies of “How to Live on Nothing” and “Living Poor With Style” for my children to read. :) I’ve lived through “hard times”, but my children are too young to remember double digit inflation followed by double digit unemployment.
The “good news” is that I’m better prepared this time round than I was 30 years ago. ;) The “bad news” (not really) is that I expect to have my family gathered round shortly and this time they’ll listen as I “reteach” the old ways. ;)

This might help. :)
Obama & Socialist Party

The position does not need confirmation.
Where are all the FR Obama apologists? Obama is no centrist. He will be the most radical liberal POTUS the U.S. has ever seen. He will make Jimmy Carter look like Ronald Reagan. Bank on it. Thank you stupid voters.
Yep. Buy them (at discount, of course) or direct them to the library for all of ‘The Tightwad Gazette’ books they can get their hands on. (There are three.)
Amy Dacyczyn is my hero. She’s the one that got me on the road to responsible thrift many years ago.
She also stuck to her goals and found the house of her dreams, paid it off quickly, stashed money for her 6 kids’ educations and stopped publishing when it wasn’t fun anymore; just as she said she would. She really talked the talk and walked the walk. :)
Sad that it has to come to this for so many, but I’m ready. Bring it on, 0bama. ;)
Wonderful. Thanks for clarifying.
