    [sigh]

    El Prez is potent testimony that an Ivy League education does not preclude a naive, foolish, ignorant graduate. His example does demonstrate that a person who has never worked in the private sector, created a job, or met a payroll is not likely to understand basic economic principles and forces of capitalism.

    He certainly slept through (if, indeed, he ever attended) any/all science classes, as did most of his advisors. Musta watched lots of Irwin Allen sci-fi movies, though, and schooled-up on Paul Ehrlich.

    Scary, pseudo-science forecasts do (however) provide useful pseudo-crises that “should not be wasted”

    1.20.13 cannot come soon enough.

    [sigh]

    Look, a toad and two frogs near a blender!

    • Mike Davis says:

      Now that is going to far! My sister happens to like frogs and it is not nice to compare these people to toads and frogs you might hurt the feelings of the toads and frogs! 😉 They have a bit more self respect!

    Maybe calling the plan Obama’s “Green Star Wars” moment or “Mutually Assured Green Destruction” or “More Drunk On Ethynol Goggles” would get Dems to actually do a cost/benefit analysis. The cheap REEs we used to get from the ChiComs aren’t available unless we build the stuff in China. REEs mined in the USA will be cost prohibitive by the the time OSHA and EPA and a million other qualifications to operate are met.

    • Paul in Sweden says:

      Haven’t heard any news on delays with the reopening of the US mines due to EPA regs. The talk has been optimistic. There has been talk of a stock bubble relating to one of the companies(Molycorp I think) where next week the lock down period ends and insiders can sell off their shares and flood the market bring shares down.

      Regardless the one Molycorp REE mine that was closed in 2002 due to EPA problems isn’t expected to produce until 2012 and then it is only expected to produce 20,000 tons compared to China’s REE 120K+ ton production.

      The US mines need to be opened and/or a trade deal with China needs to be negotiated to protect supplies for the USA/Japan. This China REE export problem sounds like another Russia gas Mad Max Master/Blaster embargo horror story.

  5. Brian G Valentine says:

    Obama tapped Immelt to head a new “let’s make some jobs around here” program.

    But he picked the wrong guy, Immelt is an empty suit once filled by Tom Edison who founded it and Jack Welch who knew how to operate a company for profit. Immelt runs a company on profits that Welch created, and he doesn’t know how to do it on his own.

    Neither Obama nor Immelt understands that it is impossible to “create” a “green economy.” It’s impossible because it isn’t sustainable, there are no profits to sustain it. Green anything can only be sustained by tax dollars, which come from actual production, but if you throw that away, there’s nothing left to carry the Green” stuff further.

    Obama won’t listen to that, he’s not alone in the Western world, how many economies need to be trashed before somebody wakes up

    By the time China buys up what’s left for a penny on the dollar it will be too late

    • BioBob says:

      I don’t find that ‘green jobs’ label very useful. there may well be some subset in there that could actually be profitable since its basically undefined.

      • peterhodges says:

        yah, and he’s at the world’s largest defense contractor looking at what appears to be a very large turbine engine.

        green jobs indeed.

  6. peterhodges says:

    looks like the drugs are catching up with him.

    at least bush balanced it out with a liberal antidote of alcohol.

    “Wadebridge: Britain’s first solar-powered town?”

    “Backed by the local MP and chamber of commerce, the scheme aims to generate a third of the electricity used by the town’s 10,000 people from renewable sources – mainly the sun – by 2015, and make up to £450,000 a year for community projects from the Government’s feed-in tariff.”

  8. Andy Weiss says:

    You have to get with it! Green is the wave of the future!

  9. Jeff K says:

    I practically need MET’s supercomputer in order to divide two trillion by 2000, good thing these are whole numbers.

  10. President Obama seems to have differing levels of gray over the past 2 years.
