GUEST,DV BS: Have you seen Obama's energy speech! (328* d) RE: BS: Have you seen Obama's energy speech! 05 Aug 08


Is it any wonder they don't see Obama and the Democrats as the greenwashers they are?

I mean, Al Gore finagled himself a Nobel for saving the environment. I guess he had to find some way to do it, since they wouldn't give him one for inventing the Internet, eh?

Here is the deal. Want to know how we're doing in terms of our environmental politics? Look to how the Democratic presidential nominee's agenda now reflects the Bush/Cheney energy agenda.

For far too long, Democrats have claimed capitulation was really just bi-partisan compromise. Nowhere has this been more evident than on the Iraq war and the environment.

Obama will, very soon, come out in support of resurrecting and redeeming the nearly dead nuclear power and coal industries as "clean energy" alternatives. You want to know who will get the $150 billion he claims will save the environment in his energy plan?

Answer: it won't be the innovators and inventors of renewables and authentically green industries. No, sirree!

He already told us yesterday, in his speech in Lansing. He'll throw a little to the Detroit carmakers, to save them from going under.

Coal and gas industries/utilities.

Nuclear power industries/utilities.

In other words, Obama is gonna give all the incentive money to Big Polluters.
