2011-04-19 |
But supposedly this is all in the name of creating "green jobs," which Obama often calls "jobs that cannot be outsourced." On this score, the renewable energy grants fall far short, as revealed by the muckraking of Russ Choma of American University's Investigative Reporting Workshop. |

#6 Yah, I suspect they've been wanting to push the refineries out of the country for a while now. Too many republicans work in them. |

#5 While Obama Hussein continues to try to crush the US Petrolium Industry, he handing over $3 Billion of US Taxpayer money to build a refinery in Columbia, a stimulus to another foreign economy. One that takes jobs and money away from Americans. |

#4 Last night I saw the head of an Australian Solar Panel manufacturer whining about how the Labor government's proposed carbon tax would hurt his business. Making stuff is energy intensive. |

#3 ION WMF > USDOD "CLIMATE CHANGE 2012-2020" REPORT: TWO US EXPERTS WARN THAT A SEVERE WINTER COULD OCCUR IN 2012 WHICH WILL INDUCE MASS DIASPORAS IN JAPAN, RUSSIA, + SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES. "CLIMATE REFUGEES" FROM CARIBBEAN ISLANDS MAY FLOCK TO THE MAINLAND US, MEXICO, OR OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE AMERICAN HEMISPHERE. WAVES OF EUROPEAN REFUGEES TO CONUS-NORAM DUE TO WATER, FOOD, + ENERGY CRISES, + DESIRE TO IMPROVE PERSONAL ECON WEALTH. OTHER: > RISING WORLD OIL PRICES = lead to mil or violence-led conflicts in the Persian Gulf + Caspian Sea Regions by Year 2020??? > FRANCE-VS-GERMANY Conflict over RHINE VALLEY RESOURCES in Year 2022??? > US-VS-CHINA CONFLICT in the Persian Gulf by circa Year 2025??? > ROUTINE ARCTIC ICE MELTS = will increasingly damage iff not destroy the WORLD'S SOURCES FOR FRESHWATER??? "PEAK WATER" = END OF "CHEAP WATER"??? ["TANK GIRL" Movie here]. Ironically, "PEAK WATER" = only proves the need for OTC CHEAP CONSUMER-CENTRIC NUCLEAR POWER = FREE MARKETS, NOT THE ALTERNATIVE. Again, IMO GREEN TECHS includ GREEN ENERGY = human survival in FAR-OFF/DISTANT [Earth-like]PLANETS IN DEEP SPACE, vee Space Travel + Colonization, nostsomuch back here in our TERRAN/GAIEAN HOMEWORLD although this is not to argue that there no implications or effects on the latter. |
