The real cost of the OIL!! How do US get our oil from countries like Iraq and Libya?
How much does it cost to base our Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines in the Middle East to ensure to have an uninterrupted flow as we mainline 20 million barrels a day of black gold into our veins?If you figure the annual cost of US military into the $3.50 a gallon (or more) you pay at the pump, the price of gas is close to $10 dollars a gallon.Your $500 million in subsidies for solar is chump change compared to the $800 billion we spent in Iraq and the $1.2 trillion a year we spend to ensure the safe flow of oil with our “defense” department.
Care to demonstrate how the use of oil and US military spending is sustainable when all of the money eventually goes up in smoke and out the tailpipe? …The huge cost of the “Fight against the terrorism” because the oil reason as well. The huge amount of money to clean (each year) the sea because of the oil ships or because of the huge disasters like BP!!!…

USA…Wake up!!!!

Tea Party Republicans control the House of Representatives and enough votes in the Senate to block legislation.

The Tea Party has been supported by coal interests from its inception. At the moment Tea Party Representatives are having trouble raising campaign funds for next year’s election. That makes them even more dependent on fossil fuel money.

We need to be careful to distinguish between those in Congress who work to block renewable energy and those who work to promote it.

We do ourselves no favor by tarring all with the brush of oil and coal. Let’s quit talking about Congress as a single entity and start talking about those Congress members who wear white hats and those who wear carbon-black hats.

The primary cause of political betrayal of voters’ consensus about PV is inherent to PV technology itself, as it is more likely than any other to foster feasibility of individual energy autarcy — notably when coupled with individual hydrogen generators for storage of estival excess and compensation of diurnal deficit.

How about we differentiate between those Congress Members who do work to improve America and those who are intentionally trying to harm America?

Let’s not lump Al Frankin, Barney Franks and the other good folks in with the Tea Party Republicans.
