Obama’s Magical Wind and Pelosi’s Wind Investments

The Spectator has a thorough piece describing the lifestyles Americans can look forward to if the magical- thinking Barack Obama is elected. Forget freedom, choice, prosperity and comfort. Obama is definitely going to change all of that. Here are some excerpts, but I strongly suggest you read the whole thing.

But, before you leave, be sure to skip down and read about the real incentives Nancy Pelosi has for blocking a vote in Congress. The little socialist wench has her sights set on lining her pockets while she, Obama and their Ameri-phobic band of Reprogressives fleece yours.

The American Spectator’s Flower Power

YES, OBAMA AND his legions of aging hippie flower children are going to liquidate reliance on the evil Terminator technology of oil and nuclear power, and fuel the modern, high technology, American economy with joyous windmills and happy sun power. Oh happy day.

Accomplishing this, Obama recognizes, “will take nothing less than a complete transformation of our economy.” You betcha. But not to worry, because Obama is going to pull this off with his new neo-socialist, central economic planning from Washington, where the wise bureaucrats will see it all through.

Under this all-knowing leadership, “we will get one million 150-mile-per-gallon plug-in hybrids on our roads within six years.” That is because, “We’ll invest more in the research and development of these plug-in hybrids, specifically focusing on the battery technology.”

Also, “by 2022, I will make it a goal to have 6 billion gallons of our fuel come from sustainable, affordable biofuels.”

Under the Obama Five Year Plan, he will be “directing billions in loans and capital to entrepreneurs who are willing to create clean energy businesses and clean energy jobs right here in America.” Those “entrepreneurs” will consequently be bought and paid for Obama supporters.

Under an Obama regime, America will “invest federal resources, including tax incentives and government contracts, into developing next generation biofuels” and “raise our fuel mileage standards four percent every year.”

Except for Hugo Chavez and Barack Obama, the whole world learned in the last century that central economic planning does not work. Yet, that is where we are today in our national energy policy. That is why it is all such a mess.

Under Obama, it will all get much, much worse.

INDEED, WE HAVE just experienced a huge central planning disaster with the ethanol fiasco. Ethanol production consumes at least as much energy as it produces, still costs more than oil counting all of its never ending subsidies, actually harms the environment on net, and causes sharply rising food prices.

Food riots have broken out in poor Third World countries, where people are starving because so much land is being used for ethanol production rather than food production. Yet our central planning geniuses in Congress have “mandated” sharply increased use of ethanol over the coming years. This is precisely the model for Obama’s energy policy.

Read it all…The American Spectator’s Flower Power

Nancy Pelosi, the botox crone and socialist whore running roughshod over the will of the people at every given opportunity, plans, like Al Gore, to make a profit from our misery.

Money. It would appear that the driving force behind Madam Speaker’s quick and forceful adjournment of Congress is money.

According to Michigan Taxes Too Much blog, Madam Speaker has a substantial amount of money invested in Clean Energy Fuels Corporation.

Clean Energy Fuels Corporation is a business venture started by none other than T. Boone Pickens.
[...]
peaker of the House Nancy Pelosi purchased between $50K and $100K of stock on May 25th 2007, the day of the initial public offering.

She, and other investors, stand to gain a substantial return on their investment if gasoline prices stay high and municipal, state and even the Federal governments start using natural gas as their primary fuel source.

If gasoline prices fall? Alternative fuels and the cost to convert fleets over to them becomes less and less attractive.
