What the future has in store? More mindless spending on Solyndras. Just do a google on alternative energy bankruptcy.

Obama has to go. We simply can’t afford him.

Scott,
I am moved to answer this response to my comment of 4 days ago.

First: I am not the “liberal” (which you spew as a epithet) that you might think. Though I am liberal on social issues on political matters I have become a radical (though I am still a registered Republican) as the Republican party has lost it’s way.

As to calling you names, apparently you missed who I was “calling names”, …..It was and is not YOU. Read it again. All that I did was chide you for being unprepared to offer intelligent comments to this forums arguments.

Even if I were a Hippy Liberal, you have presented me with absolutely NO “irrefutable facts” but simply with your misunderstanding of the situation that we humans now find ourselves in.

Agreed Solyndra was a mess but not because of their technology but rather due to mismanagement.

I am also disappointed in Pres Obama, not because we can’t afford him but for reasons other than his activities on the energy issue.

With best personal regards….
Ed

Actually, I agree with you on corn ethanol as it isn’t truly an alternative to oil in it’s present paradigm. However, corn ethanol isn’t anywhere near the heart of the energy problems facing the world today.

By calling for the continuance of the coal and oil industry’s (as major energy providers) shows just how dimwitted you are. Even if one discounts the massive subsidies that oil and coal get. (far greater than the subsidies that you’re squawking about) and the exigent health and environmental costs, fossil fuels are being depleted to the point where smart people realize the need to transition to alternatives. Sadly you have exposed yourself as someone who isn’t in that group.

I have no problem with using our fossil resources in applications that don’t require them to be consumed by oxidation. We have an emergent technology called “carbon fiber” which is a far better use of all those precious carbon atoms. Perhaps you have heard about it(?) Yes, Scott, I love carbon. Seeing it being wasted (irrationally now with the alternatives available today) truly breaks my heart.

So you stick with oil and coal and when the price becomes prohibitive due to market forces (you’ve heard of them I suppose) then come back and explain why alternatives are wrong.

As to your statement “False hopes based on non sustainable business models. Wind, Solar, Bio-fuel, Corn ethanol, wave, are NOT capable of survival on their own. They are not profitable therefore they will not attract investment (except for the govt).” I can only say that you haven’t keep up with thing as, in spite of the Solyndras of the world, capitalists are investing massive amounts of money into alternatives the world over. Even coal and oil interests see the writing on the wall and many of them are also looking to the changes that the future has in store.

My admonition to you my friend is to do some reading and thinking (if you’re capable) before you go about opening yourself to the criticism of which you are so deserving.

Oh, and drillman, your just an idiot!!!

Ed

I’ve very sorry that you have not been taught how to write a coherent sentence among other other intellectual problems you demonstrate.

Best wishes for any remediation you might seek.

I can see no reason for me continuing to exchange comments with you, I suspect your mind is not yet open to facts and your knowledge base seems corrupted, perhaps from too much Fox.

I’ll leave you the opportunity to post the last comment. Entertain us with some more word salad….

False hopes based on non sustainable business models. Wind, Solar, Biofuel, Corn ethanol, wave, are NOT capable of survival on their own. They are not profitable therefore they will not attract investment (except for the govt).

Zachary, the term was intervention, not regulation. Although there is far too much regulation as well. EPA should be dismantled and handled by the individual states (who already take care of this).

Waste of taxpayer dollars. Get rid of the Education dept as well. More waste.

This is certainly the case in the U.S. energy sector today, as our govt is apparently still incapable of addressing these externalities.

Almost every liberal understands capitalism and why capitalism works. They also understand that unless we regulate capitalism to keep the greedy from grabbing more than a “fair share” we end up with monopolies. We end up in even worse conditions than we’re in now with a very tiny percentage of the population owning most stuff.

As for your “sustainable but govt isn’t” part – word salad that one might expect from Snowbilly Snookie.

Math is a funny thing.

Bush left office, what over three years ago? And only now your swipe at him is getting posted….

The “morons who can’t possibly have brains” continue to dupe Americans into believing in an energy source that is not self sustainable.

You know who you are.

It seems inevitable that Democrats take back at least some of the control. But I also thought it was impossible for George W. to get elected (twice). So, trying not to be complacent!

“a$$ ho6e ” -this one also made me smile

Humor is needed in such moments. Thanks.

We might not be able to get Democrats elected in backward states like Tennessee (where I grew up), but we can put the bozos in the minority once more and get on with the job of fixing our country.

Big opportunity coming in November. Either work to change things or doom yourself to regret.
