Steven Chu: Americans Are Like ‘Teenage Kids’ When It Comes to Energy
Wall Street Journal ^ | 09/22/2009 | Ian Talley

Posted on 09/22/2009 7:52:57 AM PDT by fiscon1

When it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions, Energy Secretary Steven Chu sees Americans as unruly teenagers and the Administration as the parent that will have to teach them a few lessons.

Speaking on the sidelines of a smart grid conference in Washington, Dr. Chu said he didn’t think average folks had the know-how or will to to change their behavior enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.

We are ruled by self-styled Enlightened Despots.

We are not worthy of their wise leadership.

It’s good Chu gets some attention. He’s insane.

A leading UN climate modeler guy just reversed his prediction that the earth is warming to cooling. How inconvenient for Chu.

The carbon footprint thing is insane.

Here is a video that appeared on the ORielly show, Joe Bastardi of Accuweather was the guest, it's especially for the children pushing junk science.

It's especially useful for poser children acting as scientists.

To shut down the AGW crowd ask them this simple question? Why don't we measure the Al Gore swaddling blanket of CO2?

In fact we have done exactly that: In the case of AGW, all the Global Climate Models(GCMs) and the AGW CO2 theory predicts that there should be a measurable hotspot in the upper troposphere. Observations from satellites and weather balloons have been made, and no hotspot has been found.

In a less politicized field, this would have been the end of it.

The video shows the facts ...

Wow- this guy is a caricature of an academic: imperious and completely out of touch with the real world.

These underdeveloped, skinny, weenie, nerdy, metrosexual libtards just kill me. They are the guys in school who were socially awkward and never had a girlfriend.....and to compensate for that....look ‘down’ on everyone else.

“When it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions, Energy Secretary Steven Chu sees Americans as unruly teenagers and the Administration as the parent that will have to teach them a few lessons.”

Wonderful idea!!!! How about starting with that spoiled child named Al Gore with his HUGE Carbon footprint in Tennessee and then discipline that Hollywood brats living in mansions along beautiful Malibu!!!!

“The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu said...

"An update: Energy Department spokesman Dan Leistikow added: “Secretary Chu was not comparing the public to teenagers."

They lie with almost every word.

Ummm, Steven, save that speech for the people the government gives ‘free’ energy assistance to. All the rest of us pay for what we use, and we pay for what the other moochers who can’t pay, use.

And to say we haven’t cut back Steven, is nuts. Everyone is cutting back. You friggin elitist snob putz. Why don’t you (picking arbitrary goal #’s here) cut YOUR personal energy usage 50% from now on. Don’t care where you ae now, I am sure you are wasting a ton of energy you aren’t even aware of. Walk more. Sell your limo. Get rid of your driver and security folks. Cut your staff down to one person. Reduce your office space. Get a studio flat.

Nothing like a child, an ignorant, stupid, little kid, who thinks money grows on trees and the world should be made of unicorns and lollipops, to insult the people he works for.

Once again Obama is an idiot.

We are Parents of the government, it is our duty to be good citizens and keep the government in line.

We are not CHILDREN of the Government.

This A-HOLE has no concept of self-government.

This represents the SOCIALIST / COMMUNIST attitude of the Obama Administration. Simply put, they believe all property and people belong to the state.

Article quotes him as saying he does not believe Cap n Tax will meet the same stiff public resistance as Obamacare (glad their proclivity for self-delusion seems to be nearly bottomless....)

"The American public... just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act"

Still, Secretary Chu said he didn’t think that the public would throw the same political temper tantrum over climate legislation has has [sic] happened with the healthcare debate.

What an arrogant a$$! And the subsequently updated foot-in-mouth-extracting, spin-doctoring (re)statement by Chu's toady proves it!
