The "grasping at straws" approach of this empty administration-to-be is getting worse. Renewable energy? Millions of jobs? What technology? Is it cheaper? Better? Plentiful? Readily available? Able to replace fossil fuels?

Of course, this thinly-veiled attempt at grabbing more bail-out money for both quid pro quo to unions and other campaign and socialistic "causes" just gets worse. It really is pandering to the hand-wringing, believe-anything liberal voting base. I really think we have not seen anything yet, as to what this "mob" will come up with in the way of excuses to steal and print more money.

You can really tell just how EXCITED the GDP-building, tax-paying public is about this administration and what it has to say --- just look at the Dow Jones averages and bank behaviors ----

I have a feeling the economy is going to in tough times for a while. Now it’s up to the GOP to turn around and do something with it and offer real solutions, instead of just cowering.

Their centrally planned government economy is gonna crash sooner than they think. They don’t have enough martyrs willing to sacrifice for their cause.

I certainly will not participate in the destruction of individual liberty and economic freedom.

"Renewable energy isn't something pie in the sky. It's not part of a far-off future. It's happening all across America right now,"

Who among GOP leadership is challenging this pile of crap?

He's not grasping at straws.

Saul Alinsky laid out how to get radical change, and the easiest way is to have your target audience ask for change.

We have now a barrage of media reports about how unbelievably bad things are, and guess what, here comes someone with a plan! A plan to save us all! Don't look to see what the plan actually is, it's change, and change will save us all!

The plan will, I suspect, involve more centralized government control over energy sources plus a hefty socialized “subsidy” to keep it all running. Oh, and sacrifice, for (most) all of us in the way of conservation, maybe even towns cutting stretlights off at night, higher electric rates, thermostat rules, and the like.

Go check out “Reveille for Radicals” and Rules for Radicals” from Alinsky, and some of the spin-off books.

Heard a story on Quinn & Rose about some school buses that used ethanol spiked gas were unable to be started, because the ethanol turned to jelly due to the coldness.

Did someone mention bailout?  We're here to collect.  Bush and Obama sent us.

"Renewable energy isn't something pie in the sky. It's not part of a far-off future. It's happening all across America right now," Obama told workers at the Cardinal Fastener & Specialty Co. in this Cleveland suburb. "It can create millions of additional jobs and entire new industries if we act right now."

These are the words of a bureaucrat, a chairwarmer, a politician on the take for all he can get. Talking about work and getting things done are two different things. We need cheap, reliable energy and adjectives like 'sustainable and renewable' just get in the way of getting any job done on time and under budget.

I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
And he’s just the guy to do it.

BEDFORD HEIGHTS, Ohio

Back in the day, Bedford Heights was reputed to have a good number of residents that were members of the mafia. Whether true or not, I do not know.

Since enviro’s and others have been pushing so called renewable energy sources for several decades now and for all practical purpose nothing has been found made or discovered that can feasibally replace our current energy systems why is it not pie in the sky and something from the far off future?
I was praying that Barack Obama was not as stupid as his Hope and Change campaign made him out to be. Looks like my prays have gone unanswered this time.........

"Renewable energy isn't something pie in the sky."

"Renewable Energy" is code for "your electric rates are going to double in 2 years". I wonder if the sheeple know this.

Obama just trying to stampede Congress to pass his giant pork stimulus package that will not help the economy, just certain Dem constituencies.
