Democrats believe they can win back rural voters by ratcheting up their pre-election mission of moving the country from fossil fuels to green energy.
.
.
.
“This is fundamentally a jobs message,” Washington Gov. Jay Inslee told reporters last week in reference to Democrats renewed focus on green energy.
.
.
.
Inslee wants Washington legislators to pass a carbon tax that would raise an estimated $2 billion in revenue to pay for education funding and various clean energy projects.

If they think that’s the way to steal back rural votes, then, I say, “go for it!”.

***********************************************************

The Dems are once again “stuck on stupid” if they truly believe this - a good number of folks I know (& they would qualify as “rural” voters) are switching to wood stoves to avoid high electric bills. Green energy, Democrat style, is no bargain.

DON'T CORRECT THEM! When an enemy is destroying himself through a catastrophic mistake, you don't correct him, you encourage him!

MORE GREEN JOBS! MORE GREEN JOBS!

Pretty soon, gasoline will be cheaper (corrected for inflation) than anytime in history.

Those city people that indulge in free and subsidized public transportation have no clue what it is like to live rural. Energy is expensive and is being made more expensive by our utopian dreamers. Get rid of coal and petroleum and you increase electricity,heat and fuel prices. You have to drive farther to get anywhere so transportation prices are always on the rise.

This is what the DNC and Obama will never get. If someone it Rural America wants to save money and go Green this is what they might do.

* Wood Stove from with their land.
* If they want to go solar, they might go to a solar hot water panel from plans or kit and and install the system themselves as it is the most cost effective way to go.
* Passive Solar for the House? Sure either for a new home or some retrofit if it makes $-sense.
* Some Photovoltaic cells, for certain applications, again not a whole array and it is again about the Benjamin's.

What they won't go for is a bunch of Credits, arm-twisting with a loan that funds a cadre of SEIU tech's doing your install on an entire Photovoltaic array and the loan with Fannie and Freddie or some other Gov't Org.

No they won't play you game or fund your schemes Mr and Mrs DNC....

I’m from a very rule area and I can tell you that it is a basic fact that people in rural areas don’t give a crap about green energy. They drive long-distance is and there’s no such thing as electric re-charging stations where they live. They associate electric cars with pinheaded liberals. In a lot of places it’s so cold and get so much snow that solar panels on the roof is just a recipe for continual repairs and financial hardship. If they break, just to the Hells going to fix them?

The far-left, watermelon Marxists are delusional.

As long as the Demwits support islam, blm, DinDoos, lazy people and idiocy, they can not even buy my vote. Having a positive IQ helps, but common sense and decency will help one in life.

Green energy plans imposed by watermelon Marxists (green on the outside, red on the inside) is why the electoral map shows the far-left Democrats winning only major metropolitan areas.

“DON’T CORRECT THEM! When an enemy is destroying himself through a catastrophic mistake, you don’t correct him, you encourage him!”

This was one of my Grand Dad’s favorite comments, “When you opponents want to comment suicide due to their stupidity.

Don’t try to stop them. Let them get on a stage with their rope or whatever. Sit back with a good beer, popcorn and cheer them on.

MORE GREEN JOBS! MORE GREEN JOBS!

“This is fundamentally a jobs message,” Washington Gov. Jay Inslee told reporters last week in reference to Democrats renewed focus on green energy...Obama tells voters he'll bankrupt coal companies and that their utility bills will "necessarily rise" with his coerced shift to green energy, and then Hillary comes along and says she'll be putting coal miners out of work - and 'rats still think they can convince voters that green energy is the way to go for jobs - they are irredeemably stupid.....
