Your Questions About Renewable Energy Content

How many on the left actually agree with the entire civilian army thing Obama brought up?

I agree with Obama on a lot of things… most things actually… but this is too much of a slippery slope to agree with. This too much of a republican thing and the US will be very unhappy if that is something that happens.
Paranoia will run rampant and people will be accusing each other of wrongdoings.

What are your thoughts on Obama’s most recent energy and environment speech?

A few excerpts:

“America’s dependence on oil is one of the most serious threats that our nation has faced. It bankrolls dictators, pays for nuclear proliferation and funds both sides of our struggle against terrorism. It puts the American people at the mercy of shifting gas prices, stifles innovation, and sets back our ability to compete.

These urgent dangers to our national and economic security are compounded by the long-term threat of climate change, which, if left unchecked, could result in violent conflict, terrible storms, shrinking coastlines, and irreversible catastrophe.”

“The days of Washington dragging its heels are over. My administration will not deny facts; we will be guided by them. We cannot afford to pass the buck or push the burden onto the states.

And that’s why I’m directing the Environmental Protection Agency to immediately review the denial of the California waiver request and determine the best way forward.”

What do you think about this speech?
Jim – your (lack of) logic astounds me. ‘A’ happens in California, ‘B’ happens in California, so ‘A’ must cause ‘B’. Why not just blame the delay on gay marriage in San Francisco and Britney Spears’ baby and surfing? LOL!
whoops I meant Tomcat. I’m just so used to Jim’s logic I guess.
