Wind Is Not Oil.

Posted by rrrocks on August 18, 2008

The United States uses 1.5 percent of all oil to fuel electricity and heat homes. That is 350,000 Barrels of oil per day out of 20.5 million.

Build all the Wind, solar, Geothermal, Tidal, Hydro, Nuk a Lar plants you want. IT WILL NOT AFFECT OIL PRICES IN THE LEAST.

OIL FUELS TRANSPORATION. PERIOD. What will lower fuel prices is either lower demand or more Oil. Drilling for oil is the only way to get more oil on the market.

Do not let the Democrats convince you that Wind mills are going to solve our energy problems. Right now 98.5 percent of all electricity is fueled by coal, gas, hydro, wind, Nuk a Lar. 1.5 percent is fueled by Oil. Building a zillion wind turbines and solar panels is not going to bring the price of oil down more then a couple cents.

That said.  I absolutely advocate Green.  I want all the renewables that we can bring online.  The GOP are Liars if they advocate we cannot do green.  It is not the oil companies fault that oil is this high.  It is world demand and a congress that has taken away the best drilling spots because the oil industry was careless and allowed lots of oil spillage during their offshore drilling days.

However it is now a national security interest.  These huge oil prices have caused gasoline to shoot up, food prices to shoot up and the prices of manufactured goods to shoot up because oil is so highly priced.  Democrats want to punish the Oil companies and yet it is oil that drives our economy.  Their intense desire to punish the oil companies means they want to punish, Winnebago, Harley Davidson, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Evinrude, Air Stream………….Holiday Inn, Marriott, Days Inn, The travel industry, Airlines, parts dealerships, car washes, car dealerships………..They want to put millions of Americans out of work.

They say well but the new green industry will put those people back to work in new green jobs.  Oh will those in Detroit move to Wyoming to service windmills?  Will those working on GM assembly lines move to Arizona to install solar panels?  I think not.  This is nothing more then a massive redistribution of wealth by the democratic party with only the interest of the Greenies in their own party.

People who have not thought through very well the repercussions of their stance.  Going green is good.  But not at the expense of the solvency of the American dream.

Barak Obama Where He Stands.

Posted by rrrocks on August 18, 2008

Asked at what point a baby gets “human rights,” Obama, who strongly supports abortion rights, said: “… whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity … is above my pay grade.”

Translation. He believes in Abortion and abortion advocates believe that thing in your belly aint alive till it squirts out of the hole. It was painfully obvious that he knew this question was coming. He is 48 years old and hes had 48 years to develop his position on Abortion. His response is I dont KNOW?? As for me at 20 years old I knew what my response to Abortion was and I havent changed my mind since no matter how much new information has become available.

Although Barack Obama has said that he supports civil unions, he is against gay marriage. In an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune, Obama said, “I’m a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman.”

Barack Obama did vote against a Federal Marriage Amendment and opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. Translation. Barak Obama is a strong supporter of Gay rights and believes according to his own words that if a gay couple choose to get married it will not affect his own marriage. This is a typical talking point of the gay rights advocates.  Thiis was another two step.  He was pandering to the religious right while being a full supporter of Gay rights.   Take a stand Senator.  You are becoming the most transparent politician in history.  Anything for a vote.

My interest is in making sure we’ve got the kind of comprehensive energy policy that can bring down gas prices,” Obama said in an interview with The Palm Beach Post.

“If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms of a careful, well thought-out drilling strategy that was carefully circumscribed to avoid significant environmental damage — I don’t want to be so rigid that we can’t get something done.”

Translation. Obama plans on pretending to want to drill for Oil only long enough to get elected. Once elected he will go back to the democratic talking point which is that drilling for oil will not reduce our dependence on oil or lower the price of oil on world markets. I can only assume this based upon two things. Politicians are liars. Obama is a politician.

Barak Obama has been praising T. Boone Pickens “Pickens Plan” (see side bar for link) as being a man of vision working for energy independence for America.

LISTEN TO ME…………WIND POWER WILL NOT LOWER OIL PRICES. WIND WILL NOT POWER YOUR CARS, TRUCKS, TRACTORS, AIRCRAFT, MILITARY VEHICLES. This continues to be the Democrats version of the Texas Two step on energy. Fake out and lie to the American people. Deflect the argument and once the election is over and they are in power they will push their green agenda with gasoline still painfully high.

IN THE MEANTIME Nations like Russia will wallow in OIL wealth because the democrats want battery cars while China pollutes the world into the stone age.
