Hell our labor secretary thinks folks should be using their unemployment to start new business. These people are insane.

"You’re absolutely right about making investments in small businesses, tax credits and brakes and allowing for UI benefits to be used so that people can start their own businesses."

Total insanity to even talk about "green" in a world that functions on oil. To tale green is to pander..Green is impossible...It's like a drug addict saying he is going to get clean when his whole life and existence consists of selling dope in order to maintain his habit.

Kind of funny to see Obama hpw sayig he is for natural gas when he and democrats didn't listen and said that Pciken's was crazy i cllig for shift to natural gas we knew was there to be got and wantig solar and other alternatives that were not even affordable to most and would drive manufactuirng price up by energy cost nakig us less competitive. Even now he is struck on oil when we see in five to ten eyars that we can be nergy independent which every persident has wanted/called for before him since Carter.He is stuck by hios idealogy which is failing the USA.

This is green energy.


With enough power even a brick can fly, only to eventually be killed by a wind rotor <<smirk>>

With enough money, green energy can be a success, as long as the money doesn't run out. So, cross your fingers, close your eyes, and sign the check. That's what Obama has done for almost four years; look how well that's working out.

We don't need green energy. It's not like global warming is doing any damage or anything.

(I mean if you ignore the almost biblical droughts and tornadoes of course).

But then again, maybe turning Texas into a desert would be a good thing. Dunno. Something to ponder.

You should come to New Mexico. Solar power stations are being created as we speak.

They have a very "liberal" definition of "green jobs". Turns out that the janitors and landscapers have "green jobs".

Didja ever notice the O green energy plan sounds just like the old adage:

'Throwing the baby out with the bath water?'
