Energy Secretary Chu Admits Administration OK with High Gas Prices
That the Wile E Obama administration embraces high gas prices is not really a surprise – he said himself that “energy prices would necessarily skyrocket” under his energy policy. I guess it’s just surprising to hear one of his ACME Economic Destruction Co. lieutenants admit it. President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu uttered [...]
Meanwhile, at the Coliseum in Rome, Global Warming Continues Unabated
Stole that caption from American Digest, because it was just too good. It snowed in Rome for the first time in 26 years. Here’s the picture that accompanied it: They also had this pic of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. The cold snap in Europe has claimed the lives of 260 people so far. Are we [...]
Global Warming? – It’s Cycle 25 We Need to Worry About
The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on [...]
Deeming $Millions Worth of Specialized Glass “Inconsequential”, Obama-Backed Solyndra DESTROYS It.
This is amazing, but not surprising. These people don’t have any shame. Eco-bullsh*t-purveying Obama cronies don’t care whether this stuff is worth millions: they didn’t have to pay anything for it. You did. What’s worse is Wile E. Obama and his ACME Economic Destruction Co. have billions more tied up in these green-scam companies. Once [...]
Obama’s Keystone Calamity: More Lies, and Favoring America’s Enemies Over its Friends
Ezra Levant of The Source (Canada) examines Obama’s confounding decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline project. He rightly determines that Obama chooses the Saudis and our enemy Hugo Chavez to supply oil over the Canadians, our friends. He also features Obama’s lies about eliminating our dependence on Middle Eastern and Venezuelan oil.
Buy Some Incandescent Bulbs, and Tell Al Gore What You Think!
Awesome. In the comments for 100 watt incandescent bulbs at Amazon, there’s this: Go get yourself some before they disappear. (H/T Instapundit)
More Chevy Dolt Good News: Total Subsidies Amount to as Much as $250K for Every One Sold So Far
Sure, that number will go down as they sell more cars, but will the taxpayers ever get their money back? Doubtful. The Volt subsidies flow through multiple companies involved in production. The analysis includes adding up the amount of government subsidies via tax credits and direct funding for not only General Motors, but other companies supplying parts [...]
Why is President Obama Opposed to Creating 20,000 New Jobs?
If President Obama insists that “we can’t wait” for measures that create jobs, why does he keep trying to sidetrack the Keystone XL pipeline? Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), writing at Investors Business Daily, argues that it’s all politics: Here at home, Republicans are working on legislation that will make it easier and cheaper for the [...]
Audi Chief Calls Chevy Volt “A Car For Idiots”
I’ve been calling it the Chevy Dolt for quite some time -because it seems like a genuinely stupid idea to have an electric car that will only go 40 miles (or 62 km if you’re driving the European Ampera) on a charge, but I’ve never gone so far as to say the people who buy [...]
Chevy Dolt Battery Problems Impact Sales of Ampera, Its European Cousin
Be comforted, Euro-doofuses; GM’s gonna get those battery issues worked out any time now. Then you, too, will be able to motor 64 kilometers before using the petrol assist feature (gasoline engine). Chairman Obama promises. In the meantime, no ‘sploding cars will be delivered. The Volt’s battery woes are having an effect on its European [...]
America Has A 250 Year Supply Of Oil; Let’s Get Busy Using It!
More and more sensible people are getting the point: we have plenty of recoverable energy reserves. The only thing stopping us from actually recovering it is President Windmill and his eco-kook compatriots in the current administration. Enough already; let’s remove the shackles of federal interference and over-regulation, and get busy becoming energy independent. While we’re [...]
Hello, President Windmill? The Dutch Have Turned Sour on Wind Power, Because it’s Too Expensive
President Barack The Zero Windmill Obama has, through the actions of his minions in various federal agencies, been busy trying and succeeding to cripple the fossil fuel energy industry in this country. Whether it’s shutting down drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, or delaying a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, or handing out billions [...]
Here’s a Pretty Accurate Summation of the Whole Green Jobs Nonsense
If you read here much, you know I don’t have much patience for the “green jobs” BS that the (zero)bama adminstration has been trying to jam down our throats for 3 years. I also don’t have any patience for the fact that the administration is purposely shoveling billions of dollars in taxpayer money to “green” [...]
Could North Dakota Really Become the New Saudi Arabia? Harold Hamm Says Yes
Stephen Moore has a great profile on Harold Hamm, the founder and CEO of Continental Resources, and the guy who discovered the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota. Hamm says we could create tons of jobs and eliminate our dependence on foreign oil, if the government would just get out of the way, and stop [...]
A Perfect Metaphor for the Left’s “Greening” of Our Economy
At “Solar Decathlon”, a government-sponsored event exploring ideas for “clean energy living”, they used signs powered by…gas generators (yellow and black box at the right base of sign). Perfect. (via Big Government)
