Obama kills jobs to promote an agenda, Plenty of Jobs are waiting to be unleashed with real energy production
Commentary: Obama's Green Jobs Initiatives Unfair, Hypocritical - Yahoo! News
In a statement released today, President Obama said, "One of the fundamental challenges of our time is building an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules."
This is the same man that gave billions in taxpayer funding to Solyndra, Abound Solar, Energy Conversion Devices, BrightSource, LSP Energy, Evergreen Solar, Ener1, SunPower, Beacon Power, ECOtality, A123, Uni-Solar, Azure Dynamics, and Solar Trust. All of these "green energy" entities failed, yet Obama promised to bankrupt coal and natural gas powered power plants through taxes and regulations, as noted in a 2008 San Francisco Gate interview.
Obama promised to use the funding from these exorbitant taxes to "invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches," and advised that under his "plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."
Obama wants to destroy tried and true industries and the jobs they provide to herd the masses into unreliable, impractical "green" industries that fail and cost jobs.
According to an editorial on Investor's Business Daily from 2010, Spain's failed attempt at a "green economy" cost 2.2 jobs for every 1 created.
