By advocating for a renewable energy bill on the eve of the demise of the man-made global warming theory and for its legislative offspring, economy killing cap-and-trade legislation, progressive Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) is simultaneously seeking to bail out GE and to rescue Obamas energy policy.
Graham is working with GE lobbyists to draft the Clean Energy Act of 2009 legislation to establish a federal mandate requiring that an increasing amount of electricity must be derived from so-called clean energy sources over the coming decades.
Specifically, the draft bill demands that 20 percent of electricity come from clean energy sources by 2020 and 50 percent by 2050.
Coincidentally or otherwise, Grahams definition of clean energy matches GEs business strategy in clean coal technology and renewable and nuclear energy.
...Several sources said General Electric Co. helped Graham in crafting the legislative language. GE has the world's largest gas turbine manufacturing plant, in Greenville, S.C.
...Disturbingly, Immelt does not want to compete in the open marketplace. Rather, he wants to game the political system by working with Congress to mandate demand for GEs products, either by increasing the price of fossil fuels through a cap-and-trade system or via a Graham-type bill that requires power generation from renewable energy sources.

What’s Bill O. going to do now...he hates GE yet won’t say a bad word against the Boy King, who, by the way, is brilliant.
He lives in fairy land. Ignorant b’tard can’t seperate policy based on science from politics based on compliance.
He’s not up until 2014,gotta put up with a lot of BS fromthis clown.
“Lindsay Graham Seeks to Bail Out General Electric and Rescue Obamas Energy Policy”
WHAT IN GOD’S NAME MAKES THIS LIGHT LOAFERED LITTLE BIOTCH THINK HE IS A REPUBLICAN?
What is wrong with the voters in South Carolina? How could they have reelected this McCain lapdog, open borders excuse for a real person? I can’t figure it out.
Well good for him for taking care of his little sister. He is still an open borders, RINO scumbag.
I realize that but 2010 is going to send this clown, and quite a few others, a BIG message. Especially if Bohama insists on pushing his health care BS.
Screw GE, I hope they go out of business!
They are one of Obamao’s biggest whores.
Wonder if he’s getting paid under the table!
NO more bail outs! NONE!
I agree he is TOTALLY off the mark with both this stupid energy stance as well as illegal immigration.
I DO agree with his support of our efforts in the middle east.
I just think it is truly beneath us to bring insinuations about his sexual leanings into it. Barney Frank is open season since he flaunts it. Lindsey is not bringing it up so why lower our standards to do so....
FOCUS..... He is WRONG about this issues among others. Criticize THAT....
The democraps have very damaging footage/audio of Pansy Graham. What else could explain his whoelsale prostitution of his soul tot he democrats? He is a degenerate.
Be afraid be very afraid. The Wave is coming nothing will be left behind!!!! 11/02/10!!!
Afraid? ... I’m looking forward to it! Lock and load
Not to my knowledge. That must be done by us South Carolinians. And we don't have a law on the books allowing political recall.
h/t to martin_fierro for the graphic
It’s jut too bad that he was returned to the Senate.
NO more RINOS |
Agreed, my FRiend.
I refer to this particular RINO as a "POLITICAL" cross-dresser, metaphorically meaning that he only pretends to be playing for our POLITICAL team.
