Yeah, Solyndra created a ton of new ‘green’ jobs. Oh wait. Solyndra is dead.

I loved when greenies one state said “we’re now generating 5% of the state’s power with renewable energy. And created 70,000 green jobs to do it.”

The reply from the coal industry was “we generate 60% of the power and it only takes 7,000 people”.

I think the greenies revised their “jobs created” number down significantly after that.

People don’t realize this, but this consensus-building is genius: Put all the people you trust in high positions - meet with all the people you don’t to make it look like you respect them.

I hate that I like DiCaprio as an actor, because he’s such a lefist putz. The guy practically goes into a religious trance over Algore.

Isn’t DiCaprio like, you know, an actor?

I don’t get it.

If clean energy can create millions of jobs, why hasn't it? Two words: government subsidies.

Let free men invest in green energy from their own pockets if they are so cocksure that along with jobs, green energy itself becomes viable. Anything less is just corporate welfare.

What is it with Hollywood and politicians? Why do I give a damn what Leo thinks about anything? When did he become an expert and why? Look how many times POTUS and FLOTUS have appeared on TV shows and compare that number to any other president. My conclusion: Obozo lives in a fantasy world and is the only place where he is truly comfortable and truly belongs...it’s sure not the WH.

I’ve never understood the appeal of the guy. He’s just another Hollywood androgynous dress-up doll as far as I can tell, like Johnny Depp but at least Depp is and has always been completely nuts, so there’s a little suspense.

I like this. Nothing wrong with investing in actual technologies. it’s the leftist treaties and regulations that are the problem.

Leo can run the Department of Windmill Salvage if he wants.

I am really liking how Trump runs this transition. There is no smokey back room with lobbyists. Instead, anyone can go up the elevator and lobby for free. He has a web cam so everyone can see who is lobbying him. Its more like the Gong Show.

It’s one thing for companies to voluntarily decide to operate in the ‘green’, but it’s quite another to demand that they do so upon penalty of huge taxation or fines unless it’s something very known such as dumping sewerage into lakes and rivers, or known hazardous chemicals into the ground. There has to be a middle ground.

Sure, give some tax breaks to encourage some green tech, but to scare the bejeezus out of children by making them think the world is going to be destroyed by melting ice caps is just way too much!

I’m good with Trump meeting with idiots like Gore and DiC - they are low IQ and uneducated. Listen to their fake information politely - give them the opportunity to give a dissenting view.

The truth does not need to fear fake information presented by people who don’t even understand math and science or business.
