Diane Feinstein---> No Solar Panels in MY Back Yard
Fox News /Yidwithlid ^ | 3/21/09 | Yidwithlid

The Hypocrisy of the environmentalists in congress never ceases to amaze me. Last year we had Ted Kennedy fighting electric power generating wind mill Called cape wind. Cape Wind was proposing America’s first offshore wind farm on Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound. Miles from the nearest shore, 130 wind turbines will harness the wind to produce up to 420 megawatts of clean, renewable energy.Teddy Kennedy didn't want those wind mills in HIS back yard.

California's Mojave Desert is ideally suited for solar energy production but not according to Diane Feinstein. Taking a cue from "Uncle Teddy, Feinstein is fighting the use of the desert as a "solar panel farm."

I laugh in her general direction. No solar in the desert, eh? Funny. Here’s a conundrum that even some liberals might muster sufficient neural capacity to absorb. I won’t hold my breath.

This should come as no surprise; NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) has been a constant refrain for Liberals like DiFi and her constituents. It’s as though their fellow human beings mean less to them than the tortoises out in the dessert, who do little or nothing to contribute to progress.

whatta joke.

she’s married to a billionaire.

and she against the u.s. developing our own oil, gas and shale resources.

now she joins ted kennedy who didn’t want to look at windmills off of cape cod.

the democrats are always “helping the poor”. if they want to help the poor and middle class,

they need to get out of our lives.

But you have got to admit that it is funny. These people are just caricatures. Who needs SNL (they won't touch this anyway) when these people are a barrel full of laughs.

Are you kidding? What a joke. My aunt and uncle are staunch conservatives and even they have solar panels. They produce the power to run the jacuzzi.

I think Diane Feinstein and Ted Kennedy should be buried together--at one of those green places where the bodies are just dumped into the ground to return to the earth--and where nobody will ever miss their wretched diseased souls.

We can’t have an oil platform 200 miles out to sea .. and now we can’t have windmills in the desert.

In other words .. we get nothing .. as usual.

If Arnold wasn’t such a WUSS, he would immediately Seize Senator Blum’s property and auction it off for Economic Gain, just like the Kelo Decision said he had the right to do.Maybe we should seize madam Pelosi’s properties too??

I’ll easily admit it’s funny. I swear, satire writers have got to be pulling their hair out. Every day, another huge swath of their material gets obsoleted by the reality these fools come up with.
