This editorial is well-written with a good presentation of the terrible bills in Congress. The author does miss the reason that the Dims are pushing this energy strategy. The Dims want control over the energy business. They want to direct investments and control job creation. Global warming is an excuse for nationalizing the energy business. The Dims tried the same policies in the late 70s except they lacked globabl warming as a cover.
The public seems largely asleep about the nationalization of the energy industry. The Dims have put the mandates far enough in the future so that impacts may not be felt for 10 years or so. When the inevitable results (high prices, unreliable power, slower economic growth, ...) of these policies are felt, the Dims will find a new scapegoat and then institute even more control over the industry.
It's a lot worse; it's an excuse for nationalizing everything and establishing total Stalinist control of all aspects of our lives. Just look at some of the articles posted here on FR about Watermelons not bathing, not using flush toilets, and minimizing their use of toilet paper, all to reduce their carbon footprints. They want to impose those degrading, unsanitary, and destructive conditions on all of us, excepting only themselves.
Same thing with health care. Any time they want to control anything, suddenly the Dims start talking about a “crisis”. Global warming crisis. Health care crisis. Gee, is there a pattern here?
I think what they are doing is the same as their proposed bills on Iraq. They don’t actually intend on this passing. When it doesn’t, and the Republicans can’t get anything passed, they will say, “The obstructionist Republican’s didn’t do anything about the energy problem.”
The demoncrats are only interested in obtaining power. And as usual, at the cost of our soldiers and our security. And since an apparent majority of our citizens are dumbasses it will work.
“The Dims tried the same policies in the late 70s except they lacked globabl warming as a cover.”
No, they went the other way with a new ice age.
