    Good stuff. I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s nice to see the money starting to flow quickly, and just in time IMO.

    It’s about damn time. If that damn idiot Reagan hadn’t dismantled Carter’s energy policy we’d be 30 years ahead of where we are now. There needs to be more than a half a billion invested. Cut a freaking billion or two out of the piece of shit Pentagon.

    The government has no right to run a command-and-control socialist economy. The government supported ethanol, which was a complete disaster. No one’s interest is served throwing money down a drain implementing some czar or bureaucrats fantasy. We have a free market system in America that has made this country the most prosperous and strong nation in the history of the world.

    Well, at least that communist* Van Jones must be happy. *Glenn Beck said this so it must be true.

    No, we were only prosperous because we used terrorism against the native americans to seize their land so that we would grow into it and used the enslavement of blacks to build a life of luxury. Even our great period after world war two was only due to the fact that our major competitors had been bombed to rubble.

    We’re trying to solve problems not exchange them. Fission is too dirty and fusion is still a couple of decades away. Nuclear fusion should get a metric fuck-ton of R&D money. Fission should get some money to research how to clean up the destruction is wreaks. Windmills can help in the meantime.

    Facts are not acceptable political discourse. Political discourse involves Jesus and what notional ‘real Americans’ want.

    Some one should do a calculation on the BTU’s burned/dollars spent/lives ended/ devestation wreaked due to the government funded war in Iraq to secure an oil rescource, compared to the MWh produced/jobs created/carbon offset/ technology improved due to the government support of renewable energies. Home grown energy is National Security at its finest. The U.S. had to defend Kuwait because of long standing agreements, and because Sadaam was a greedy bastard, but us invading Iraq for Oil is at its core just as wrong. Please convince me it was for another reason. I will not except W.M.D’s, or humanitarianism.
