15 Come on baby, you know you what to reach in and grab some.

16 Green, Green, Green. When I read "green" in connection with this administration, I think of Obama's poem "Pop" ("green young man") and his freaky passage about Pop pointing out the same "amber stains" on their shorts and Pop making Obama "smell his smell, coming
 from me." Best I can tell, Pop the only thing we know about the president's writing in college --- and it is very, very disturbing.

Right after the champagne and caviar brunch.

We are going to hammer Obama on...are you ready for this?

His position on earmarks.

That'll show'm we are serious! And no angry NYT editorials either. Win Win baby!

18 Just add this to the already extensive articles of impeachment for The Precedent ... Aside from the abuse of power, the underlying fraud is gargantuan.  The Watergate slush fund was like a half-million dollars.

19 scientists lol they can tell us man came from apes but find no proof...yet they find fossils from millions of yrs ago.... they can tell us how galaxies are formed, and hey, when stars die out...but they cant tell us how stonehenge was built... they tell us water is a main ingredient for all life, and they dont even know how many species reside on the planet... theyre somewhat of a bad joke that keeps gettin worse.

What up?

21 I tried to find the link to a story about "green tech fail" but can't. The story went somthing like this. The town of Chanhassen MN bought windturbines from some place like Palm Springs. They got them up here and I drove by a winturbine statue for over a year. I've have seen the blades move on my trip past a couple of times in the past few weeks.

But my question is dosen't this prove wind to be at best a secondary source if not terciary. This thing has been dead due too hydralic oil issues for a year (thats the excuse they give) I want lights every day.

Indeed. One of his first presidential acts, Porkulus was a trillion dollar handout to his friends and allies. UNPRECEDENTED as he likes to say.

However, I think the Walpin affair is what the grounds will be if the Reps have the guts.

Firing an IG to protect one of your political allies is textbook political corruption.

"Despite the $417,00 cost per machine, Minnesota is apparently too cold for the California units.  Avant Energy, which "manage" the turbines, hopes they'll start spinning once "warming elements" - inlcuding a nonrenewable resource known as an electronic heater - are plugged in."

Same problem, though at different scales, with hydroelectric, as Venezuela is coming to grips with.  Lefties, who grow up in an environment where electricity seems to be part of nature, never interrupted unless it's due to storms (which are caused by anthropogenic global warming) and then it's just a matter of repairing cables.  These pea-brains don't understand that electricity must be continuously generated.  They think there are great fields of batteries, somewhere ... though they hate batteries, since they are the biggest threat to the environoment ... outside of Man ...

This is a staticist hell that we are all being dragged into.

37 If it's not good enough for T. Boone Pickens, it sucks!!

The Texas multi-millionaire isn't stupid.  He SCRUBBED his billion dollar investment in windmills six months ago because it simply wouldn't work...and that was in Texas, where the wind blows almost all of the time.

The difference with the government is the fact that they don't have to show results.  They can just make shit up and pawn it off on the public as "fact" and we have to live with it.  It's not their money they're losing....IT'S OURS!

Hey, if we built a machine that carried heavy weights way up high...and caught them on the way down, we'd have unlimited energy! We'd just need like an electric escalator or something. And just keep using bigger weights to get more power.

Wow, I am a genius, just like my teachers told me.

And dammit - stop bogarting the joint dudes.

39 The Green Movement is just the latest refuge for Snake Oil Salesmen.

The Hippy-Dippies are too emotion-based and too tied up in their own good feelings and intentions to be able to think critically, and wind up being the tools for crooks looking to fleece the system.

Don't worry.  Old Mrs. Bennington has an open outlet in her yard that she doesn't even know about.  They're going to plug it in there, so it will be like ... free.  She's almost senile, so she'll never notice anything.

42 im wondering what apocalypse they'll dream up next....hope its something cool.

43 Now I know why Obama was so intent on slapping down those pesky IG's. 

Do we even have to look and see which elements of the media followed these Pied Pipers, or is it the usual suspects.

Slightly off topic but not really, here's a story from today's Crain's Chicago Business about how Excelon (the company formerly known as Commonwealth Edison, when it was headed by Tom Ayers, father of Bill Ayers, both known commies and friends of Obama but I digress)

 

Exelon's Rowe pushes for cap-and-trade or carbon tax in energy policy reforms March 08, 2010

(Reuters) — U.S. energy reform has stalled now that the Democrats have lost their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and Republicans drift to a more negative position, a top industry executive said on Saturday.

"What I see is a series of disjointed, piecemeal approaches that will not yield the optimal solution," Exelon Corp. Chairman John Rowe said in remarks prepared for a conference at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

A cap-and-trade system or a carbon tax are the only policy frameworks that could achieve each of the four desired outcomes from energy reform -- cleaner energy, greater security, job creation, and the lowest cost, Rowe said.

"The odds of Congress passing cap-and-trade legislation this year are slim. ... But I believe that we will keep coming back to some kind of legislation that puts a price on carbon emissions as the most efficient answer."

Chicago-based Exelon is one of the largest U.S. electric utilities and biggest nuclear power producer.

Rowe warned about the cost and confusion from a jumble of regulatory actions pending from the Environmental Protection Agency on gases blamed for warming the planet.

He showed the audience a color-coded slide of 27 pending actions in seven major areas that the EPA expects to take over the next seven years.

"Some of my colleagues in the industry have taken to calling this the 'train wreck' chart," he said.

"You can think of each of the seven colors on this chart as a car on the train — and each one could cost the utility industry billions to implement.

The regulations could ultimately force a move away from carbon-intensive, coal-fired electricity generation, if only because of their cost, Rowe said.

"We are moving inexorably toward a low-carbon society, but in unproductive and uneconomic fits and starts."

Ultimately, only legislation that places a price on carbon emissions "will efficiently encourage low-carbon investments and discourage high-carbon investments," said Rowe.

Cap-and-trade legislation would not be the job killer that opponents suggest, but instead could lay the groundwork for lasting jobs creation, Rowe said.

48 If the Obamadministation wants 'green jobs', then he should refer to Mao's program of directing the Chinese population to build an iron smelter in every back yard.  What Obama can do is to dictate that everyone build a wind-based electrical generator on their property with plans developed by the Obamadministration, and with parts purchased from the Obamadministration.

With some (I'm guessing here!) 100 million families building green wind-power generators in their homes, his Green Jobs initiative can take off like gangbusters!  Of course, the building of the green wind-power generators must be designated as one or two jobs per generator initiated, but not completed.

Where is the money for homeowners to purchase and build their green wind-power generators to generate green jobs?  The banks will have to supply the funding.  Then, the banks can be paid back from government funds for the (hopefully) positive price difference between the cost of commercial electrical power and the low cost of building a wind generator for every home.  Hopefully, there will be additional compensation for the homeowner to purchase the beans and rice necessary for the survival of the family unit during construction.

One asks, where is the time for the homeowners to build these green wind-power generators to come from?  Well, the Obamadministration has failed in its program to generate jobs, so there are plenty of people-hours of jobs left for this project.

49 As an alternative to "Green Jobs", I'm proposing a program of "Soylent Green Jobs".

Liberals would be rounded up and made to stand before a Death Panel consisting of Ace, Dick Cheney, and Sarah Palin.  Those who are deemed unworthy would be chopped up and distilled into biofuels.

52 Rather then all of this BS about wind power - why don't we build something we know works -- everyone leases a small enriched uranium thermal genset and we back power the grid.

As a bonus we take all of uranium off of the market so the Iranians are reduced to shooting monkeys (named Levi of course) into space.

55 The issue here that must be emphasized is HOW did the denialists get those emails?

I am a paragon of green virtue, being I ride a bike. I also cut way down on electricity usage for blog servers, being I haven't needed many lately

56 "Despite the $417,00 cost per machine, Minnesota is apparently too cold for the California units. Avant Energy, which "manage" the turbines, hopes they'll start spinning once "warming elements" - including a nonrenewable resource known as an electronic heater - are plugged in."
During Britain's two-week brush with a real winter (I'm sure readers recall the satellite photo showing all of Britain's main island covered in snow), they got no electricity from their windmills because it was too cold for them to work. The UK plan is to have a large amount of their power be from wind (yeah, right) although I can't recall the figure. (20%?)

Spanish pay .16 euros per kwh. That is like 22.5 cents per kwh. Nuclear would cost around 8 cents.
France has the most nuke power in Europe and the lowest electricity cost. Holland has the most windmills and the highest electricity cost in Europe.

57 It's unsurprising. There is nothing green about wind energy. It drains green (money), plows over large tracts of green (clearing mountains, natural landscapes), and kills green (birds, bats).

Meanwhile, as China erects more efficient coal plants and expands its nuclear energy (and Switzerland powers almost 100% of its power from hydroelectricity and nuclear energy), Bush subsidized turning food products into fuel, and Obama throws out a pittance of attention and money to nuclear energy that will get purposefully lost in the bureaucracy.

58 "When we spread the wealth around from the electric utility ratepayers to Al Gore and my Green Power Industry buddies, it's good for everybody!"

59

Bush subsidized turning food products into fuel, and Obama throws out a pittance of attention and money to nuclear energy that will get purposefully lost in the bureaucracy.

Actually neither Bush nor Obama energy plans have put any money in nuclear. What they did was offer up a "loan guarantee".  If you build a power plant and while under construction with billions in borrowed money the intervenors cause you to go bankrupt the government will pay off your loan (and take over your utility of course).

This piece is yet one more item that illustrates how corrupt this entire AGW/Green crap scheme really is. It has gone beyond the what if stage of Republican vs Democrat and green vs other industry, it is now in the why isn't someone being prosecuted stage?  The actions detailed here are blatently illegal.

There should be some people in jail besides Bernie Madoff.

Pickens was stupid for believing it would ever work.  I always thought it was a land grab.  I wish he'd get his shit together and start pushing nuke energy.  He'd even have more clout now that he's tried the green first hand.

Half of those windmills were never turning.  Isn't that one way to tell if they're working?

He had tro scrub it for twom reasons which really boil down to one. First he could not get his lobbyists in DC to get the feds to pay for his windmills and second, he couldn't get the State of TX to take the land and give it to him for free.

In short he is a modern robber barron and he wanted the federal and state governments to steal from regular people and give it to him in the name of green.
