"We believe we have to decrease our use of energy to allow headroom for the developing nations to grow their economies," Chu said in a speech in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates.

"There is no law of physics that says prosperity is proportional to carbon emissions," Chu said.

Any idea what this clown thinks he’s trying to say?

Maybe recession isn’t good enough for this tool, maybe he wants depression.

So Americans need to scale back their lifestyles so that others can live large.

The GOP should be able to ride this one statement to victory in 2012.

Good. I propose that all energy to his home and office be cut off, and all of his vehicles deactivated.

chu is just another nut.
ozero told us that we would know who is by the people he surrounds himself with.
He doesn’t have one person near him that has any sense.

“Screw the USA, we owe our loyalty to the Communist and Muslim 3rd World”

That is what he is trying to say!

No, but there is a law of economics that says that prosperity is proportional to available energy.

What a clown.

He is trying to say that China has used our dollars to secure their energy future. Now the US is going to experience downgraded lifestyle expectations. Future US generations will not be better off than past generations because energy will cost more and they will have higher taxes to repay the debt.

Chu is a control freak and full of it. Only someone in government would truly believe this nonsense.

We are going to add 130 million more people in the next 40 years, 75% due to immigration. How are we going to decrease our use of energy?
