Will ecotoxic-conservatives stop green energy because they hate the left?
Will the environment continue to be attacked
because letting those evolution touting, sex loving,
precarity hating, environmentalists win would be too hard?
Will the Congress refuse to even debate green energy development
before killing it?
That’s their goal. The only non-fossil fuel energy source they seem to support is nuclear energy, which also happens to be extremely expensive – moreso than many renewable sources.
I think the main problem is that a lot of Republicans get a lot of funding from the oil companies. You may have heard about Rep. Barton apologizing to BP yesterday for making them pay to clean up the environmental catastrophe they caused. It’s not a coincidence that Barton is the top House of Representatives recipient of money from the oil and gas industry.

Another reason is that many conservatives have this irrational hatred of ‘environmentalists’. So Republicans know that by blocking green energy legislation, they won’t lose votes from these anti-environmentalists.
At this point it’s up to the Democrats. They need to put forth serious climate and energy legislation. If the Republicans want to block it, then make them block it. Make them put their votes on the record. Let it be known to future Americans that the Republican Party blocked clean energy legislation. Democrats can’t give up just because they don’t think the legislation won’t pass.
I think it will be stopped because Global Warming is a Hoax
they seem to be having a good go – let’s hope they don’t succeed.
there seems to be a big anti-science push generally at the moment; maybe they are worried the common folk are getting a bit too knowledgeable – after all, that’s power….
when "green" energy becomes cost effictive…it will be used…The cap and trade the left wants will shift power to china
I think not . For one people today are sick of the way this country is run especially the younger generation . Second there is a growing number of people who are just sick to death with screaming A hole empty brained people like Palin . Our congress is full of these old time mindless idiots that are rapidly dieing off or are going to be voted out . Obama needs to get on the ball as he promised change for us but has not delivered a thing besides the health care so i give him credit for that. More and more people are against the left and right today i think we will make our own change . We need laws but we don’t need laws that are only good for the wealthy and that’s where government lays in bed with . I think its time to boot them all out this time around and start out fresh .
First off, let me just say I’m neither right nor left.
That said, why do a majority of people seem to think the government has all the answers — by setting rules and regulations for companies? Setting up taxes, etc.? They have a part, but not entirely really. WE have the power of DEMAND. The supply by the companies fills our demand. We need to start showing where our demand lies — in greener energy. It starts with us. And guess what — without so much government intervention, it gives us (and the genius engineers and scientists and inventors, etc.) more freedom to develop and provide us with what we want.
