How much longer are we going to allow this 'p'resident, Al (I've got Gas) Gore and all the other "Alternate Fuel Freaks" to force us into the "Alice in Wonderland" of Windmills, and Solar, and Mickey Mouse Cars? ? ?Yes in some very limited areas they do work, but are only successful if provided with HUGE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES, and elimination of other jobs. Check out the Article #1 below - experience tells.And check out Article #2 and lean about Obama's Head Fuel Freak, who admits that "Oil is the Ideal Transportation Fuel" but we aren't going to use it.THESE TWO ARTICLES ARE AMONG MANY THAT ARE DESIGNED TO "CONTROL THE MASSES", TO MEET THE 'p'residents's "GOAL TO CONTROL EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE"Write Congress today and everyday - Tell them to STOP THE FUEL FREAKS from destroying America.IBD EditorialsARTICLE #1Source of Article #1 (Read it All):http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=527214The Big Wind-Power Cover-UpPosted 03/12/2010 07:12 PM ETScandal: Spain exposed the boondoggle of wind power in 2009, discrediting an idea touted by the Obama administration. In response, U.S. officials banded with trade lobbyists to hide the facts.It was a cold day at the Energy Department when researchers at King Juan Carlos University in Spain released a study showing that every "green job" created by the wind industry killed off 4.27 other jobs elsewhere in the Spanish economy.Research director Gabriel Calzada Alvarez didn't object to wind power itself, but found that when a government artificially props up this industry with subsidies, higher electrical costs (31%), tax hikes (5%) and government debt follow. Fact is, these subsidies have the same "Cuisinart" effect on jobs as wind-generating propeller blades have on birds. Every green job costs $800,000 to create and 90% of them are temporary, he found.Alvarez made no bones about the lessons of Spain for the Obama administration, which has big plans for "green jobs." His report warned of "considerable employment consequences" from "self-inflicted economic wounds." It forecast that the U.S. could lose 6.6 million jobs if it followed Spain, and it "should certainly expect its results to follow such a tendency."A few months later, Danish researchers at the Center for Politiske Studier came to the same conclusion about subsidized wind power from their own country's experience."It is fair to assess that no wind energy to speak of would exist if it had to compete on market terms," their report said.Straightforward experience, facts and the logical conclusions about policy failure in Europe should be de rigueur in science, and the reports coming from nations with long experience in wind power ought to be taken seriously.ARTICLE #2Source of Article #2 (Read All):http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=527216Chortling At ChuPosted 03/12/2010 07:12 PM ETFuture Fuels: Our secretary of energy pushes bio-refineries and windmills to oil executives at an energy conference as the administration announces a three-year offshore drilling ban. This is a policy for economic suicide.They don't qualify as an official group of victims, but carbon-Americans, as they have been called, did not have much to cheer about last week, when Energy Secretary Steven Chu addressed CERAWeek 2010, a premier industry conference hosted by IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates.With an economy struggling to regain sound footing, Chu advocated a starvation diet devoid of additional fossil fuels that are to remain under the ground and seabed. Instead, he supports 53% more funding for wind research and a 22% jump for solar research.Subsidizing alternative energy fits the classic definition of insanity. Despite huge subsidies, it has proved to be neither cost-effective nor a reliable, significant contributor to our national power grid. Yet we keep subsidizing it, expecting a different result."Oil is an ideal transportation fuel, so it will be with us for decades," Chu conceded, even as the administration forbids us from getting more of it here, creating energy jobs, lowering energy costs and cutting our trade deficit. Instead we'll rely increasingly on foreign and often unfriendly suppliers.Chu acknowledged the role cleaner-burning natural gas can play in electricity generation, but only as a "transition to other fuels" in coming years. And the administration continues to gobble up lands where it might be found and impose environmental regulations that curtail the use of new technologies such as fracking to get more oil and natural gas from America's vast shale deposits.

I work in the oil and gas industry. I know geologist in the off shore drilling industry who tell me that only about 40% of the oil and gas has ben developed in the gulf of Mexico. Some refinerys in the US have expanded their operations but some have either placed future projects in the US on hold because of economic uncertainty or build refineries over seas because they can refine their product much cheaper and labor cost are much lower. This cost the US manny jobs and takes stability away from Americans and gives it to other countries.
