There isn't a smiley face available to show my amusement by this post.
Good.
Why yes of course! Everyone everywhere supported Obama in order for him to lose! It's all so clear now!
Right those media servants that keep hounding big oil and supporting democraps, and those bought and paid for public servants who just threatened a governmental take over of the entire oil industry. Yeah... your theory has tons of support...
They all use oil, and most pay 3 times as much as we do for gas. This is an improvement? Name one 'great and amazing success'?
No one is forcing any of us to use oil. If we all choose to stop using oil, there is not a thing anyone anywhere could do to make us use it.
You can go buy a solar panel if you wish, hope you have a big checking account. We already have hydro power, it doesn't provide enough to get off oil. Wind power is a scam.
When your "clean instant energy right at home" costs more than the price of the house, and has to be replaced in 20 years... no one is going to do it. Instead they'll just buy cheap power from the power company like always.
Why yes of course! With such hard evidence like "poor taxans with Yachts"! How could I have missed it! It's all so clear now!
What exactly do you know about Europe? Anything? Anything at all? Do you know jack about anything your talking about?
Little bit of hint... ok? Just a small clue.
Europe's energy generation by source.
68.2% Oil, Gas, Coal.
25.3% Nuclear.
5.8% Hydroelectric.
0.7% (other) including renewable energy sources.
That's your model? That's your plan? Get a clue.
Department of Energy: U.S. Power generation by source.
7.1% Hydroelectric
2.4% Renewable Other. (plus 0.7% Other)
Of course, your theory is so obvious now! It's the evil US oil companies that are preventing us from having more than 2.4% of our energy from renewable energy sources, unlike the great wonderful Europeans who have proven the "renewable energy way" by generating a full three quarters of 1% of their energy from renewable sources! And spending billions more than us to do it! You convinced me! You got my vote for president now! Gimme your name, I'll write you in on my ballot!
Ignorance. Complete undeniable ignorance.
Here's another hint, Germany has been blowing $12 Billion a year on subsidies (corporate welfare) to boost these lame renewable energy sources that don't even cover 1% of their power needs. It's costing them so much money, Germany, Netherlands, and the Switzerland, are all cutting renewable energy subsidies.
How is the rest of EU paying for these lame technologies?
France 33% Capital Gains Tax, 40% Income Tax, 20% Consumption tax.
Iceland 26% Capital Gains, 45% Income, 25% Consumption.
Sweden 28% Capital Gains, 55% Income, 25% Consumption.
How would you like to lose more than half your pay check in taxes? THEN, get to pay 25% taxes on everything you buy?? That's assuming your company, paying 1/3rd it's profit in taxes, has enough money left to even hire you!
This is you brilliant plan? Model ourselves after them? Their economies are trash, their taxes are sky high, but o0o0o000h my! They have renewable energy... that's less than one freakin percent of their total energy generation... You are such a bright boy!
But hey, at least it doesn't cost them much to fill up! Oh wait... Germans are paying over $8 a gallon for fuel. It costs them $120 just to fill up their circus clown car sized VW buggys.
You are just soooo....
BRILLIANT!!!
