Yes, but this idiot can and is doing serious damage to the national economy.
Unbeknownst to our 1600 resident, current oil and LPG companies are heavily invested in alternative energy....but if you cut the drilling off, the money going to alternative energy is going to be cut off.
THANKS!
Green energy and green energy jobs aren’t going to run this machine. We need politicians who will get out of the way, and let our resources work for us. A rich nation that develops clean energy has the resources to experiment and develop new energy. The leftest plan of turning off abundant carbon fuels with the belief that new, miracle energy will burst forth is lunacy. A third world USA won’t be able to afford green energy.
It goes beyond that even.
Washington and especially the left think you can force invention, just demand it be made and it becomes a reality. For instance, they demand pie-in-the-sky fleet fuel economy. They are never satisfied with what exists or is in the pipeline. They demand orders of magnitude improvement.
Well, fuel economy becomes a matter of cost, power plant design, and weight and drag of the vehicle. The left doesn't care about the cost, the invention and production of a radically different power plant just can't wished into existence, so the only place to go for real dramatic improvement is the weight and drag of the vehicle.
We will be riding around in aerodynamic cracker boxes that weight next to nothing and go less than 5 mph if the left has their way. I do realize there are some cutting edge power plants in the wings, but practicality and cost come into play. So does willingness of investors. But reality means nothing to Washington or the left.
Obama is “stuck on stupid”. Green jobs! This is laughable and so ridiculous I wonder how he makes these statements with a straight face. Does he really think he can walk away from oil in our own ground and force people to buy $40k electric cars? IF they were forced to buy them, what about the environmental destruction of all those used up batteries? I am just baffled by this man’s stupidity and the American people’s gullibility. When will this madness end? People, wake up to what this manchurian candidate is doing to destroy our nation.
