Future Fuels: Our secretary of energy pushes bio-refineries and windmills to oil executives at an energy conference as the administration announces a three-year offshore drilling ban. This is a policy for economic suicide. (snip) A study by Science Applications International Corp. at the request of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, the Gas Technology Institute and others shows that as a result of this administration's energy policy, the U.S. economy will suffer $2.3 trillion in lost opportunity costs over the next two decades, monies that would go a long way to reining in runaway deficits and creating economic growth. According to Chu, we'll just have to grin and bear it.

Obama and the Dems have inflicted so much damage on this country and the world it is not believable.
And guess what:
They're not done yet.
Our only hope is that the sheeple wake up in November.
PING!
A few questions for our esteemed choo choo dim bulb energy secretary.
1. How much more CO2 does using bio-fuels produce?
2. How much more do bio-fuels costs?
3. How much more does electricity cost when using windmills?
4. And what makes you think it’s OK for government to raise energy costs on Americans just because you say so?
5. You do realize that the CO2 forced global warming is a hoax, don’t you?
6. Do you know that Americans are more literate than Kenyans?
Extra credit question, did you know that according to the Supreme Court, both your parents must be native born citizens to qualify to run for president of the USA?
"We must overcome the opposition of the 'hydrocarbon deniers,'" Mulva said, playing off Al Gore's term for climate-change skeptics. Hydrocarbon deniers, he said, are those who "believe that renewable energy will quickly and easily replace hydrocarbons and cure all that ails us."
I think I like James Mulva.
He isn't afraid to say what's politically incorrect.
Their DEM Utopia dream of solar and windmills will NEVER produce the energy needed by the America you and I used to know. We ARE being reduced to a turd-world country right along on Barry Hussein Soetoro’s schedule (see tag line).
We have so much oil offshore that it comes gurgling up through the ocean floor by itself. We outlaw the production of our largest oil deposits, we outlaw the truly enormous oil shale deposits we have, while sending three or four hundred billion a year out of the country to buy fuel. Three or four hundred billion a year puts a lot of people to work around the world, but not ours. It funds a lot of governments around the world, but not ours.
To sit bankrupt with double digit unemployment with your most productive people standing around on street corners is stupid. We have home builders and carmakers and shopping malls going under all over America while our most productive people, the ones who would normally be buying houses and cars and shopping at the mall, are standing on street corners waiting for the call to go back to work.
This is a self-inflicted problem. Environmentalists go around the world trying to shut down energy projects but they will never try to shut down an OPEC project. Our politicians keep promising “comprehensive” energy policies and delivering more dependence on OPEC. Nothing being proposed by the Obamists will do anything to reduce our dependence on OPEC. They’ll gladly put oilmen and coalmen out of work. They’ll gladly add a carbon tax to everything you do. But none of that will bring us energy independence, nor will any of it put our people back to work.
If you want to go back to work, stop voting for people who think oil and oil shale and coal and natural gas are curses rather than the enormous blessings that they are. Put your drillers back to work and you’ll see your carmakers and homebuilders going back to work too.
This is the jerk who wants to paint roofs white. I say - PAINT YOURSELF WHITE and set us an example. For that matter, paint Obozo white (try to visualize that!).
Well said.
Not our only hope, we can stand and protest.
We let the enviros get away with the destruction of the logging industry. We are letting them destroy the potential of every HUMAN being to save an animal, bird or just plain old dirt!! The wackos are in charge so just get off your lazy butt and start walking to the unemployment office for 99 weeks!!
But wait, Obama in his State of the Union address advocated ramping up offshore oil drilling. I am beginning to suspect that the person who occupies the highest office in the U.S. is....I just have to come out and say it, insincere.
This sack o shiite might as well be a Chicom agent. I would not be surprised to read in ten years that he has decided to retire there with a big ol bag of money
Does he travel often to China? That would be an indicator
The problem with people like Chu is that they begin to believe their own hype, and they soon come to figure that they’re so freakin’ brilliant in their own narrow field that they lose all sense of humility and proportion.
