The promises of pie-in-the-sky liberal environmentalists that we can convert to "clean" energy sources and stimulate our economy are based on dubious environmental and economic assumptions, fantastic notions about alternative energy, and a disturbing acceptance of the tyrannies inherent in command-control economies.
It would be bad enough if President Obama and his Democratic allies were pushing budget-busting green energy solutions during an economic boom and times of a manageable national debt. But it's inconceivable that they would do so under the current dire fiscal circumstances.
They begin with the assumption that we have an urgent need to restructure our energy sources for environmental, economic and national security reasons. It's interesting they don't see the same urgency in our looming entitlement crisis -- a menace that will swallow our entire budget in a few generations, absent major reform.
They attempt to bolster that assumption by manipulating the playing field to deliberately suppress our production of oil and nuclear energy and then claim we have a catastrophic supply problem. To be sure, our supply of oil isn't unlimited, but if Democrats got off their pristine high horses about domestic oil production, the problem would be considerably mitigated. A logical first step would be to admit they are smothering production, an objectively provable fact about which the president brazenly prevaricated earlier this week.

David Limbaugh is brilliant. Wish he would run against Claire McCaskill for senate in the 2012 Missouri election. We need MORE like him in DC
You mean we can't get everyone a green job within four years and actually save money and have no pollution using rainbow power anytime soon?
Dealing with this nations energy policy is “above his paygrade” except when it comes to off shore drilling, ANWR..............
I hear the next big energy source is unicorn farts. Rainbow power is so 2010.
In the town near me, it is a combination of liberal greenies with no clue about energy generation or economics and gullible rubes with no clue about anything, and just enough evil people (former drug dealers, etc) to push the alt energy project to their financial benefit baited by even more evil people in a neighboring state who promised them shares in the their alt energy startup (so Limbaugh is wrong about that part, there are "investors" who are interested in this, but mostly sleazebuckets looking to cash in on government subsidies rationalizing it as saving the earth)
Until science can prove otherwise I'll discount that notion.
Fact is, we don't have enough facts to surmise. The earth may be
a constant manufacturer of oil, we already know methane.
All those dead materials are constantly being flush into the earth
and over the 100's of millions of years it could take 10-million
years to deplete the oil But then it could be a normal constant of our planet.
Just my speculation.

Could it be they are frigging lying?
