Hey, It’s Okay – It’s Somebody Else’s Money: Taxpayer-Subsidized “Green Energy” Company Hasn’t Produced Any Batteries
But, they’ve done a lot of community service projects, and played a lot of video games, according to an Inspector General report (hey! why hasn’t that inspector been sacked yet?). Wile E. Obama’s ACME Economic Destruction Co. keeps racking up the winners in “green energy” investments. A long list of his winners has gone under [...]
Current TV Staff Discover the Truth about Algore, Too Late.
Gore sold his Current TV network to Al Jazeera just before the end of the year. The staff’s first meeting with their new owners didn’t leave them feeling very good about the whole thing: (New York Post) “Of course Al didn’t show up,” said one high placed Current staffer. “He has no credibility. “He’s supposed [...]
Another “Green” Company Tanks; Received $249M in Stimulus Money
Anyone seeing a pattern here? This is just one in a series (here’s a list of 12 from back in July) of “green” companies that have failed after receiving stimulus money. President Obama really does only pick the losers. A123 Systems has filed for bankruptcy protection in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, Bloomberg reports. Late [...]
Doh! Wind Farms Causing Warming in Texas
The researcher says that the wind farms can actually have an impact on regional meteorology. Not, I’m sure, the intended effect. New research finds that wind farms actually warm up the surface of the land underneath them during the night, a phenomena that could put a damper on efforts to expand wind energy as a [...]
The American Dream:10 Facts About Energy Reserves that Will Blow Your Mind
Our Prevaricator in Chief recently said this: But you and I both know that with only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices – not when consume 20 percent of the world’s oil. We need an all-of-the-above strategy that relies less on foreign oil and more [...]
President Windmill: Where’s the Outrage Over THESE Executives Getting Huge Compensation?
The hypocrisy of our “green at any cost” president is never more evident than in this report from The Foundry, the Heritage Foundation’s blog. Obama was quick to criticize insurance companies and banks that paid their executives bonuses after being bailed out by the government. He is silent, however, when failed -and failing- “green energy” [...]
Eco-Bullsh*t Alert: Wile E. Obama Says “We’re Producing Too Much Oil”
Speaking in Cushman, OK (conveniently placed in front of some big pipes), The CEO of the ACME Economic Destruction Co. tells one of those half-truths that’s politically convenient. Here’s the video: While it’s technically true that more oil and gas are being produced, it’s being done IN SPITE of Obama’s noodle-headed green energy push, not [...]
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 [...]
Reason TV: The Truth About Fracking
I’m sure you’ve heard noise of one kind or another (most likely negative) about fracking, a technique used to extract natural gas from the earth. Lots of people are up in arms about fracking (I think they just like saying it – “fracking” has a nice ring, doesn’t it?). Nick Gillespie of Reason TV interviews [...]
Exxon Makes Major Oil Discovery in Gulf: Will the Obama Administration Seize the Opportunity? Doubtful.
Exxon just announced it has found 700 million barrels of oil at a well in the Gulf of Mexico. The well is located 250 miles south of New Orleans, in 7,000 feet of water. The question now is will the Obama (*DfOaLG) administration issue a permit to allow them to recover it? (from The Hill) House [...]
Big Government Math: Spend $4 Million; Save $116,000. Yeah, That’s the Ticket.
Another one for the eco-idiocy category. In San Diego, the government is going to spend $4 million to buy electric cars for government use, and install charging stations to keep them juiced up. From SignOnSanDiego: San Diego will be one of five cities in which the federal workers will test plug-in cars for government use. [...]
Yes, Turning Our Corn Crop into Ethanol is Taxpayer-Subsidized Eco-Idiocy
I wrote a piece last week about the rising price of gasoline, and the entirely predictable responses to it from the media and the Obama (*DfOaLG) administration. In that post, I wrote this: Not unrelated is the rising cost of everything else, driven by higher fuel costs, and the relentlessly stupid conversion, by dimwitted taxpayer-subsidized [...]
