Job Losses From Obama Green Stimulus Foreseen in Spanish Study - Bloomberg
Like I always say............the two questions the left never care to answer is..........
1) At what cost?
2) As comapared to what?

Fortunately for the majority those questions are asked!!!!!!!
Solar is going into the shitter in Spain and Britain and the government s of both nations have said, "**** This!!!". Mega job losses and higer electric rates will do that!!!!
The Great British Solar Scam

Like I've told your dense ass 12 times clean energy is cheaper and more efficient and creates more jobs when you take into account the health and environmental benefits. So basically you're just a oil company tool whose ability to think rivals that of a 4 year old

You mean the health and environmental benefits that are completely fictitious? Those benefits. They are so good they can't be quantified in any meaningful way? They just are.
WE say so, so they must exist.

No, if you can't point to anything tangible then you are merely pissing up a rope. And you guys are good at that.

So bascilly you're a clueless dumbass

Yes, a nice "rah rah" story, with absolutely nothing to support it. Really? Is that the limit of your intellectual capacity.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Yea, it only works in other countries. Not this one. Republicans want us to fail so they can say, "See, you failed". Then what? Oops, they haven't thought that far ahead.

Please let us know which countries they work in. I am sure those countries will be surprised to learn that too! It has failed in Spain, England, and France. So I am curious as to which countries you are referring

What really sets the solar power station apart from other stations is its’ incredible storage capacity which allows it to produce 60% more energy that a typical station lacking storage capacity. This ultimately allows for the Gemasolar to work 300% more than your average solar power station as it can be utilized for 6,400 hours a year as opposed to 1,200 to 2,000 hours a year which typical solar power stations are capable of.

Republicans don't want to develop anything. They don't want education. They want us dependent on foreign oil. They love war. I just don't understand what kind of Americans these people are. Seriously.

I want to develop such, but only if it doesn't hurt people. This goes against Obama's idea's of raising energy prices through the roof! On the other hand the reality is that only whites, asians and some arabs are intelligence enough to do so...Turning the world into africa isn't going to do it. Think about that for a second. You need civilization to advance idea's.

All over Europe "green energy" is out of favor as voters start to understand the costs.

 

[bripat9643]

Yep, solar is such a failure that the capacity here in the US is nearly doubling yearly.

Marc to Market: Great Graphic: US Solar Capacity Installed in 2011

How much of that added capacity isn't recieving government subsidies?

. . . . . . .

. . . wait for it . . . . .

NONE!

What can I say s0n? You're a hostage to your style of thinking, a way quite typical for those on the far left. It has nothing to do with intelligence. Its a brain **** up essentially..........what psychiatrists refer to as thought process disorder.

Indeed..........some people simply have the inability to accept necessary tradeoffs in life and it is due to their thinking and quite out of thier control. Psychiatrists refer to it as the ability ( or in this case inability) to be able to think on the margin. And note the references above.........mostly far left k00k cits like "THINK PROGRESS" that puts out what we call "selective research studies", like the autism link. I work in the field of autism for 26 years.........nobody knows shit about what causes it. But this goofball Starcraft is an expert!!!

Those who have the abilty to think on the margin recognize all the shit on this guys list, but also recognize that there are necessary tradeoffs to living in an industrialized, modern society. To blow it up and change course would cost 76 trillion dollars and a committment by the American people to accept a return to society being much like it was in the mid-1800's. Only the AGW k00ks like Starcraft think that is doable, which is why the hyper-angst green bomb throwers are seen in 2012 as a group of fringe nutty-asses.

Imagine tomorrow telling the public, "Gotta throw out your iPhone s0ns!!! No more plastics because we gotta 86 oil!!!". Yup........folks would be real thrilled with that!!!


The k00ks will keep going citing the hyper-hysterical crap as if it is going to change the dynamic. Wont happen though. Its about as likely to happen as Obama resigning his office tomorrow!!!

But I will admit..........dont know what I'd do for entertainment without these fruiltloops posting this shit up. Id be ******* lost for laughs, truth be told.

^Farms produced 3.8% less corn, and 5.5% less wheat then they could of during 1980-2008 due to slightly higher temperatures. This increased corn prices by 6.4% and wheat by 18.9%.

Polluted air increases obesity risk in young animals
^Fine-particle pollution, or soot in the air increases obesity. Exposure to fine-particle air pollution early in life increases obesity rates even if you eat a normal healthy diet. Fine-particle air pollution also increases the chance of having unhealthy blood sugar levels. It does this by increasing inflammation of cells, which when inflammation occurs in fat cells in makes them retain more fat.

Researchers Show How Air Pollution Can Cause Heart Disease
Higher blood pressure found in people living in urban areas
^Air pollution such as soot and smoke from power plants and automobiles can cause cardiovascular disease. Air pollutants such as soot and smoke below standards set by the EPA causes arteries to be 50% more blocked by plaque. Exposure to the air pollution also increased bad cholesterol levels, and blood pressure.

You are correct about the yap yap yapping that you folks present. No evidence at all. other than useless computer models. No links except to crap that has allready been proven false and no real empirical data to support your pathetic fear mongering.

Good job!

Public Service Announcement

You cant separate the science from economic/political realities. Not on this planet at least.

In 2012, the world just does not have the technology to do green energy cheaply. Perhaps in 30 or 40 years ( if the government gets the **** out of the way and lets the market be innovative ). Until then, green energy will continue to have a little niche in the energy market. So really..........when it comes down to it.........the science debate is moot. Its totally moot. Now..........maybe like in The Twilight Zone, those tall bald headed guys come down to earth and give us some resources we can use for all this climate stuff. But thats like unicorn stuff, right??!!!! In 2012, make no mistake.........green energy is the fantasy of some that have highly creative minds, but the feets aint on the ground.
