Dean as president promised to require that 20 percent of the nation's electricity needs come from renewable energy sources by 2020.
What a completely meaningless “promise.”
First, even if hell froze over, and Dean was elected, he couldn’t possibly still be president when his promise came due. So it’s meaningless.
Secondly, unless he’s personally going to go out and invent these technologies himself, he has absolutely no control over the issue.
Do his dumbass supporters really fall for these utterly meaningless, pie-in-the-sky promises? Are they really that friggin’ stupid?
Considering that most of his followers were educated in liberal arts colleges (if educated at all), I would say yes. I read the local lefty 'alternative' newsrag every once in a while (for its comedic value), and I find that there's a widespread acceptance amongst leftists of zero-point energy and other perpetual motion-inspired energy scams.
