U.S. energy secretary Steven Chu said Wednesday that the U.S. must decrease its energy use to allow developing nations the room to grow, while emphasizing that prosperity doesn't have to come with a large carbon footprint.
"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.

F*ck Chu
We already have, it’s called a recession!
“We believe we have to decrease our use of energy to allow headroom for the developing nations to grow their economies”
Any idea what this clown thinks he’s trying to say?
Maybe recession isn’t good enough for this tool, maybe he wants depression.
Jimmy Chu Carter.
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.
Is there one rational person in this administration? I cannot think of any.
That is what he is trying to say!
FUchu!

“There is no law of physics that says prosperity is proportional to carbon emissions,”
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.
It’s all the non-productive illegal immigrants who sit at home all day consuming energy and resources....
PING
This b!tch thinks America should be a turd world nation so zimbabwe will be slightly less of a hell hole.

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?
