The Power of Positive Thinking

Yes, that's what the Democrats in Congress want us to use for power. Harry Reid seems to think that The Jetsons were real and that we can snap our fingers and force people into new ways of using energy. Note to scoffers: Why else do you think that the Democrat controlled Congress hasn't done ANYTHING in regards to helping consumers with energy problems? They could you know, but they haven't and they probably won't because most of the things that we can and should do immediately tread heavily on the toes of Al Gore and Leo DiCaprio

According to them we cannot:
Use coal, our most abundant fuel source, in any form, even with scrubbers. Furthermore, we can't even research uses for coal that might be feasible and within carbon emission standards.
Use hydroelectric plants. In fact there's discussion about removing Glen Canyon Dam. Here's the absolute cleanest way to produce power, and nope, we can't do it.
Wind power-first of all, the yield of power is so low in relation to the acreage required that it's laughable. Secondly, PETA thinks the wind turbines kill birds and people in scenic areas, such as Kennedys Massachusetts compound, don't like their scenery interrupted.
Use gas-although we have huge finds here in Texas and their may be larger finds in Arkansas and Colorado
Mine OIl Shale-although we currently buy oil from Canada from this source
Drill off shore California and Florida. I guess it's okay to drill off of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi coasts, but heaven forbid the HUGE oil pond off of Florida be tapped by Americans. On the other hand, it's okay for Cubans and the Chinese to drill the same pool.
Drill in ANWR, even though it is a frozen wasteland and not the ecological wonderland the media likes to portray in documentaries.

What is funny is that people keep saying "oh we can use wind" or "we can use solar". The most efficient solar array system in the world, which supplies energy to 10,000 homes, is in Germany and takes up 37 ACRES of land for the array.

The bottom line  is that the liberals are not basing their decisions in fact. Instead they are basing them on political agendas, appearance and what will get them positive air time.  Mr. Obama posed the supposition that even if we drilled today, the oil wouldn't help us for five years. The real time line from pump to consumer is actually more like three years, but none of this matters if they continue to keep us subservient to foreign politics by putting off those actions which will give us domestic energy independence.

3 , 5 years, no matter, if that's the case it should have started yesterday , not this petty talk about how soon it will help, the goal is to become energy independant , I don't know how stupid these Dems can be !! saving thee ecology for who to see, if aeveryone dies off from lack of food and energy, I don't think it will matter much !!

I am adamant when I say this: All Democrats in office should be tested for drug usage. It's either drugs or they are really robots.

The liberal agenda is ALSO practiced by many so called "non-liberals"

And this is important for if they were truly holding up their end of the bargin they wouldnt be freindly to those with that liberal agenda.

They would be outing them and not playing nice.

But they play nice and we the people suffer.

It's because we are looking at a whole generation of new voters that have been brainwashed by the politically correct mantras from PBS. Talk about the Fairness Doctrine, how about we have a show on that channel that doesn't espouse PC rhetoric on some level. Ken Burns can't wait to make some such commentary in every single one of his films!

I am a teacher, a mother and wife and I like to think I am a pretty good citizen. I read ALOT. I also write a good deal on various blogs. I appreciate a chance to respond to what we see in the news. I think that by posting our opinions we can probably find that everyone is more alike than we are willing to admit. Face it, people just like to argue. I would also like to say how much I appreciate having a forum for my views.
