“These are the kind of jobs that allow people to get to the middle class.”
::::::::
Certainly Obama did not tell Biden to say THAT!?

'Joe, windmills, windmills, windmill farms,'"

So, jobs to maintain a few thousand windmills will somehow create more jobs than the mechanics to repair a few million cars these clowns want to eliminate???

""I got every governor on the East Coast calling me and saying, 'Joe, windmills, windmills, windmill farms,'" Biden said. The stimulus package alone, he said, would allow the U.S. to double its renewable-energy capacity in three years."

Idiocy. What we need is a push for multiple nuclear power plants in every state. It would create far more PERMANENT jobs and give the country a reliable supply of electricity that isn't subject to which way the wind blows. It's also clean.

They will create more jobs as the fact that windmills breakdown more often than tradional power generation.

Sierra Club opposes energy bill.

The Energy Bill does not shut down all coal fired power plants within 30 days?

Stop all drilling off shore and on shore?

Disassemble all nuclear power plants?

I can see why The Sierra Club so upset.

The Sierra club will settle for nothing but the entire country limited to Unicorn farts for all their energy needs. Whatever the plan, it has to be something that doesn't work or doesn't exist.

Last weekend I sat BECALMED on my sailboat off the east coast of New England. There was not a whiff of moving air to power the miraculous windmills so desired by the GREENS.
You would either require ALL current power plants to remain up and running 24/7 OR, just let the electricity supplies to the country stop, while waiting for the wind.
Stories of yore, with ships becalmed for days on glass smooth seas are not just legends. It does happen.
Current energy, whether coal, oil, nuclear, or water does NOT cease when the wind drops off. Wind power would.
A windmill will NOT allow a single current power plant to go off line, due to the simple fact of the hours it takes for a power plant to come on line after being shut down.
Can you imagine the screaming during an August heat wave, when the wind died and the power to the airconditioners and HVAC’s of modern buildings had to shut down. Wow..film at 11.

The Sierra Club is nothing more than a coalition of subscribers to a slick magazine that we have allowed to have too much POWER and why? Their agenda is clear, find their platform and you’ll understand. The Sierra Club is the enemy to the USA and always has been.

They do not actively participate in conservation programs (other than telling folks how it ought to be run) or any on the ground efforts other than swaying paid-off politicians and saying NO to every common-sense energy bill.

It's hard to see clearly with one's head up one's butt. These people are really becoming America's enemies quicker than I thought. And, when they get finished with America it will look like the one they have always wanted - a 3rd world country - because the white man is mean and deserves to suffer FOREVER! They are true imbeciles.

I can’t believe how fast they’re doing it. I knew Zero would be bad, but I never guessed how bad and how fast.

I got a robo-call from the Sierra Club awhile back and waited thru it to talk to someone to tell them to remove my number, I’m on the do not call list. They disconnected before I could talk to anyone, needless to say I was a wee bit upset.

I filed a complaint with the do not call people but doubt it’ll do any good.

0bmam is following the game plan

George Sorros' plan to destroy the American Economy

It is a Chicago thing:

"don't read the fine print just sign on the dotted line and do it in the next 5 seconds".

Love your FR page!

Toward the bottom, I was blown away by the number of metals on that WWII soldier(Audie Murphy). I then did some reading on him, and was even more blown away by his story. I’d never heard of the guy. His story should be told in history books!

Thanks.

There has been much written about Audie Murphy. He was a movie star after the war, as a kid I grew up with his movies.

He starred in his own story about WWII and his actions regarding his being awarded the Medal of Honor in “To Hell and Back,” well worth seeing if you haven’t already seen it.
