WHO ARE YOU PROTECTING????? WHY DO YOU NOT WANT CHEAPER ENERGY???? ANSWER THAT YOU IDIOT!!!

No wonder why this country is at a major crossroads domestically and globally. The more Bull Crap the GOP bullies throw outta their mouths the more ridiculous and asinine they look.

Pathetic losers don’t address the questions or issues. They just throw out more crap hoping people get intellectually lazy at having to deal the feces they spew from their orifices that mock large loose stools. The Republican base is very predictable, as your are of course.

I’m sorry, that’s totally immature of me.

True. The economies of scale for renewables are still small, and an all-eggs-in-one-basket solution is not going to work. Renewables do have the potential, however, to be more than just “supplemental.”

Concentrating land-based wind farms in, say, Texas, won’t generate enough power during the low-wind, high-demand periods of the summer, but you get a much better return if you distribute wind farms both onshore and offshore and connect them via an efficient grid. There’s always wind blowing somewhere – we just need the capacity to capture it. Global wind resources represent 72 TW in potential power.

The Heritage Foundation and all the other right-wing think tanks have spent infinite amounts of money to publish infinite reams of pseudo-academic crap–all of it conclusively and irrefutably proving that the right has always been right, is always right, and always will be right about everything.

And the left is always wrong. It’s all in the well-cooked stats.

Ain’t science wonderful?

Wind and solar installations today supply less than 1 percent of electricity in the United States, do so intermittently, and are decades away from providing more than a small boost to the electric grid. “To meet the 2005 U.S. electricity demand of about 4 million megawatt-hours with around-the-clock wind would have required wind farms covering over 780,000 square kilometers,” Ausubel notes. For context, 780,000 square kilometers (301,000 square miles) is greater than the area of Texas. Solar power fares badly too, in Ausubel’s analysis: “The amount of energy generated in [one quart] of the core of a nuclear reactor requires [2.5 acres] of solar cells.” Geothermal power also is decades away from making a significant contribution to America’s electricity budget.

Please. Do some research. Try some facts. Real information.

This cap-and-trade crap is … a bunch of crap. I’m all for windmills and solar panels. Build them. But they’re not going to be a significant part of America’s energy future. Instead of “alternative energy,” wind and solar should be called “supplemental energy.” They’ll add a couple of percent on windy and sunny days. Other than that, we’ll be burning coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power, and hydro-electric power.

Well thanks for clearing that up for us.

Another TP lie. Well, pretty much every blog entry is. No surprise.

How peculiar… marwick claims “pretty much every blog entry” here is a lie…

Yet, his comment has NOTHING TO DO w/ the actual subject of the thread.

And the “points” he does post in no way rebut the topic of the thread.

Nor does he cite his source for those points, so the rest of us can figure out just what the HELL is this rabid, chattering idiot thinks he’s talking about…

Will the trolls EVER learn that silly performances like this one will NEVER do anything to improve their credibility here?

What does this this say about the academic honesty ?

On a more serious note, we have wasted 8 precious years doing nothing so, anything is an improvement. We can’t waste any more time.

As for the troll’s individual droppings:

1. The more we invest now, the lower the costs later. As new technologies are discovered and go into production the costs will drop while profits soar.

2. This bill doesn’t address the issue of imported oil so, the trolls observation is irrelevant. However, everything we do now will prolong our finite supply of oil.

3. Even if there is no immediate positive impact due to reduced emissions, those same new technologies will enable things like pumping water to the billion or so who will have no fresh water once the glaciers disappear. India already has a huge homegrown solar power industry that provides tech jobs for desperate people and green electric light for people who have traditionally just gone to bed when it gets dark rather than pay for candles or lamp fuel.

4. True. Passing a Bill doesn’t make technology and infrastructure magically appear. However, American industry has proven time and again that they refuse to make long term investments without a mandate. Case in point: If American businesses were committed to long term responsibility? American car makers would be producing, and selling, complete lines of cars that achieve 50+ mpg.
