Environmentalists are a danger. Green Obama keeps shoveling money into ridiculous alternative energy projects which flop. He boasts about his adherence to a utopian field which has never worked efficiently or fiscally.
Obama is a astigmatic, visionary idealist in a shovel-ready pragmatist’s, political job. He’s in the wrong place at the wrong time. He belongs in a university in the clouds discussing forms with Plato.
Even as a college sophomore I would have laughed at Obama’s ideas. Whether he is pumping money into Solyndra or donating government kickbacks to the Volt, he is pushing our country off the cliffs of insolvency. He is taking from the tax payers’ cash register while he is depositing his bankrupt ideas.
Until the science of alternative energies, seaweed and ethanol, are tweaked to work, Obama should retreat from his sophomoric efforts to convert the energy supply to kelp. Let him go clamming in the water traps on his golf courses. I don’t want any of his slugs in my gas tank. Give us a respite from Obama. Give us a break from this breakdown of our country.
If Obama would drill offshore and at Anwar maybe I could pay less than five dollars a gallon for gas? If he would mine coal maybe my electric bills in winter would be less than a few hundred dollars a month? If he developed domestic nuclear energy like France maybe we wouldn’t have to worry about our dependence on foreign oil which he complains about but does nothing to correct.
I suggest that Congress put a bill before Obama that our boy-wonder President no longer dickers around with environmentalism. At least not for five years until we get the economy back on keel. Let’s put him on the five year do-nothing plan. We’ll save a fortune. Let him remove “alternative energies” from all his speeches and drill, baby, drill.
And while we’re at it he can remove his idealistic anti-fracking teenagers from our streets with their anti-Catskill fracking signs. With their concerned meditative faces they look like they are really concerned about the Catskills. I asked one if he had ever been there. “No.”
The other night my wife went to a society party where Mark Ruffalo spoke about the dangers of fracking. Now there’s a real scientist for you. The boy’s never even been to college. You have to be a real star gazer to allow a high school educated thespian to discuss subjects he knows nothing about. It reminds me of Al Gore pretending he’s a climatologist. He couldn’t tell the weather for the rain.
We need oil and gas, not pseudo-intellectual burps. Enough talk. Enough Obamamisms. That should our new word for meaningless, ideological talk.
Oops. I forgot that in a moment of silence with no rhetorical flourishes, Obama should let the obviously intelligent XL Pipeline be built. It might be a little more efficient than solar panels, windmills and Don Quixote on his horse as it passes wind.
