“We have a hill to climb, and it’s steep, so we will need consumers to buy our fuel-efficient technologies in large numbers to meet this new national standard.”
The fact that Obama had to rubber stamp federal loan guarantees worth over $8 billion for two atomic power plants clearly shows that nuclear energy is only economical with massive state help.
Think local. If you and I do everything we can to reduce our energy use, it save each of “us” cash. We benefit directly, it’s like a pay raise.
“Think of it this way,” D’Aleo told the television station, “if Minneapolis and other northern cities suddenly disappeared but Kansas City and St. Louis were still available, would you think an average of Kansas City and St. Louis would provide an accurate replacement for Minneapolis and expect to use that to determine how Minneapolis’ temperature has changed with any hope of accuracy?”
Those unable to take part on Wednesday included campaign group Friends of the Earth.
The answer is very simple. In most urban locations in Britain wind turbines simply do not work.
Yes, they spin, but they do not generate significant amounts of power. Why not?
But never fear. The EPA would regulate “farm tractors” too, plus “lawn and garden equipment.” For example, it “could require a different unit of measure [for carbon emissions] tied to the machine’s mission or output — such as grams per kilogram of cuttings from a ‘standard’ lawn for lawnmowers.”
€53 Billion in Solar Power Will Prevent only an Hour of Climate Change
Our current approach to solving global warming — focusing primarily on how much carbon to try to cut through taxes, rather than on how to achieve this technologically — puts the cart before the horse.
Add to that companies such as the Chicago Climate Exchange will reap billions, along with Goldman Sachs. Look it up and look up the members and big players in the CCE.
The bill will now become one of several initiatives aimed at attacking global warming.
It says the regulations would cost California $50 million in lost tax revenues, due to the drop in TV sales, and result in 4,600 lost jobs.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., co-authored an op-ed with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., in The New York Times calling for action on legislation.
The FOIA’d document written by Judson Jaffe, who joined the Treasury Department’s Office of Environment and Energy in January 2009, says: “Given the administration’s proposal to auction all emission allowances, a cap-and-trade program could generate federal receipts on the order of $100 (billion) to $200 billion annually.” (Obviously, any final cap-and-trade system may be different from what Obama had proposed, and could yield higher or lower taxes.)
Stop saying we can generate the energy from alternative sources. If you listen closely, you will hear even the staunchest socialist admit only 20% can be generated by “clean alternatives.”
