What a hypocrite. Guess he doesn’t really care about green energy. They are pushing windmills and solar but know those aren’t reliable.

You can make propane from sugar or gassify crop wastes. Not nearly as cheap as the by products of natural gas wells but you could go fully green if you had the $$ to chose to do so.

“What a hypocrite. Guess he doesn’t really care about green energy. They are pushing windmills and solar but know those aren’t reliable.”

When I was looking at Propane for a modest house, the plan I liked was solar with 72 hours (or so) of battery backup, and 2400 gallons of propane. During most of the time, the solar/battery combo would be fine, but the propane could kick-in during a ‘rough time’ and it would be good for normal powering of the house for around 100 days (which would include air conditioner and heat pump use, here in Texas). Propane is one of the only fuels that can be stored without degrading, indefinitely. If diesel could do that, it would win hands-down for me, but no such luck (bad things, like bugs, like to grow in diesel).

I don’t know if Obama is using solar/wind, but he would have to spend millions of dollars to have a battery backup that matches 2400 gallons of propane (which is around 12,000 kwh).
