All Steyer has done....is gimmick up the election for Democrats to massively lose in the Senate. Just saying eight lost seats and perhaps only one Republican seat flipping to the Democrats....is a pretty lousy image. Steyer’s funding keeps the gimmick in place and ensures a 51-to-52 seat setting for Republicans in January of 2015.
My guess is that some foundation talkers have used hours and hours of chit-chat....doing their best to get Steyer in the position of wasting funding on this, in some last-chance-save-all-Democrats focus.
Steyer would benefit from cheaper fossil fuels delivered by the XL Pipeline if he has an interest in producing “Green” fuels, such as Ethanol.
The EPA has just publicly admitted that Ethanol damages internal combustion engines due to the excess heat generated by burning Ethanol.
If the EPA’s Ethanol is produced from Corn, then how many gallons of Diesel or Gasoline does it take to produce one gallon of Ethanol?
* Note: Prep. to plant, planting Corn, weeding, fertilizing, harvesting, transporting, the actual production of Ethanol, and final transportation to customer friendly filling stations all require combustion of fossil fuels.
It will be interesting to see how our tax dollars are being used by the Feds to subsidize the production of Ethanol which the Federal EPA documents causes damage to the engines we buy from partially nationalized, Federally regulated automobile manufacturers.
Factoid for the Day: Corn is “Green” and renewable, whereas Tax Dollars are green, but not renewable.
