Why do YA libs continue to spread the lies of the Democrats when it is proven there statements are such?

Question

Now, our friends have said that they wanted to create incentives for the renewable fuels. Then they declared that the previous Congress for 12 years did nothing. I don't think they absolutely intended to mislead the American public on that, but they certainly did.

Just because of the effects of the Energy 2005 Act that we passed from the Republican House, let me read a list of renewable projects that have already started or are already showing results.

First of all, because of that legislation in 2005, 27 new ethanol plants have broken ground, 500 million gallons of new annual ethanol production is online already, 1.4 billion gallons of ethanol production are online by the end of 2006; 401 E-85 pumps, those are the pumps that can give you 85 percent ethanol if you pull up and have an engine that will burn ethanol; 25 new nuclear reactors are planned, 25,000 megawatts of electricity will be generated by 2020 if all 25 plants are built, 15 million households can be powered from the electricity by the 25 plants; 116,871 new hybrid vehicles have been purchased since January 1 of 2006, so the last calendar year, over 116,000 vehicles that are hybrids; there were 2,000 megawatts of new wind power.

Many of those wind generators went into the second district of New Mexico that I represent. Many others lie just outside the district. Wind generators are not suitable for all parts of the country, but New Mexico is one of the few States that could be self-sufficient on wind energy. Very few States are capable of doing that; 493,000 homes will now be powered by new wind power.

Three billion in economic activity is spurred by the wind power production. There is 7 billion pounds of CO2 offset by new wind power production, 1 million homes that can be powered by new wind power by the end of 2006, 100 percent increase in California and New Jersey and the applications for photovoltaic systems, 30 percent increase nationwide are solar, thermal collector installations. We had 15 new efficiency standards implemented for large appliances and 50,000 megawatts of energy saved by 2020 because of the 15 new efficiency standards.

Now, our friends today said frequently that they were giving comments like clean energy policy starts today. Well, they are making the implication that nothing was done previously, and such is just not the case.

Answer 1

Don't use facts since they are dismissed by libs who prefer to rely on history as they rewrite it.

But feel free to ask them why wind generating plants off Cape Cod and Long Island and other plants in the Great Lakes were all rejected by Democrats.

The most economical and reliable method of power generation is nuclear power. But the eco-terrorists have used their lies and fabricated data to shut down that industry. Wind, solar, fuel blending help at reducing the oil dependency and cutting green house gases and pollution, but none are as efficient and reliable as nuclear power.

Answer 2

You mention a lot of interesting information above and some of it needs an edit .
The truth is that the plants approved have been trying for years to get licensed to produce ethanol an have met with resistance at the federal level .Slowed and some times prevented from proceeding with the application process . Hearings and further documentation has been required for making the production of simple alcohol which man has produced for thousands of years more difficult .You like to call it ethanol .
Energy plants got relieve from clean air standards set in the seventy's and federal money to boot . They lessoned the requirements of coal fired electric generation stations which had been charged and where in court at the time for violations of the law . This wiped out the cases and allowed them to continue to pollute at levels that cause harm to the surrounding environment and health problems for children . The law suites where settled with the affected children quietly in a none disclosed settlement that some say only amounted to 200 million.
The corrections would of cost several billion to bring plants up to code .Bush saw fit to change the law and allow criminals to get off scott free . The amount of federal aide was equal to the settlements .
The nuclear regulatory committee is in charge of issuing permits for the production facilities and has for years under Reagan Bush and Bush held off authorization on such plants .
Clinton actually gave the go ahead for the plants and because of the almost ten year lag in building nuclear plants due to documentation and proper fillings and land studies and local zoning and community issues You might think Bush had something to due with the plants that have begun construction .
Bush has had problems controlling these groups because billions of dollars are at issue and he could not stop them from going forward so he did the next best thing .
Allowed coal plants to pollute more then ever before by relaxing the clean air standards .
Coal and oil can not compete against Nuclear and some have suggested that deliberate accidents where planned to make nuclear energy take a back seat to oil and coal because the families that run them had sat back and done nothing to change with the times .
They where not prepared to meet the challenge nuclear energy made for them .Oil ,coal and gas are now invested in nuclear energy and we can now begin to move forward .
You fall to see certain wealthy people control what gets done in america .
Collecting a steady check for building bombs is easier then actually doing something of value .

Answer 3

Shhhhhhh! The media has done a good job in keeping this good news news from getting out!. Don't let this information get spread around any more, otherwise, we may see crude oil prices drop another 25%. Then, who is going to believe the lib conspiracy about Bush and Big Oil?

All of you who have read this information, just look into the flashing light! Click!

Answer 4

I like what you write, but there are 2 places in all of California today where you can buy e85.

It's a joke. Until fuel retailers are given the incentive to sell e85, just try to buy it. I honestly had considered an e85 vehicle recently, until I found out you pretty much can't buy the fuel here.

Answer 5

The better question is this:

Since The GOP has had the majority in Congress and the Senate since 1994 and, since they have held the White House since 2001, then why has the GOP failed to develop and promote alternative energy sources and instead have policies that increase our consumption and dependence on fossil fuels.

Blameing Democrats for policies that they have no control over is silly.

Answer 6

But renewable energy sources just aren't enough - we need to develop more efficient and safer ways of using nuclear and fusion technology.

I don't blame ecologists for being ambitious in their arguments though, they have a good cause and come up with smart ideas

Answer 7

My hat is off to you,to shay
I never knew, I only hear what I see and read, and I know most Americans (and none Americans) don't know the truth. We go by what we are told and hear, and that is not always the truth

Answer 8

ok point made point taken .how are we going to fix it.

WAKE UP

its not about you or the liberial down the road or the dem on the hill or the conservitive in the church or the republican in office .

its about the future ,how do we get our america back on track

Answer 9

you can thank the libs for promoting those things...in Michigan, it was a democratic governor who gave tax breaks to ethanol producers to open plants, much to the chagrin of the republican legislature, who opposed it. So it isn't the 109th congress who made that happen, it was my local government who pushed hard past the reps to make it happen. Yes, we do well with facts, we just prefer to use ALL of them.

Answer 10

looks like what they did there was great.. but they also lowered the standard for factory emissions.. offsetting the good they had done.. so maybe a better statement would be .. Nice warm-up round.. now lets get down to business
