jimhanson: I don't know of anyone saying "the environmentalists are TRYING to destroy the economy." Do you?

Me: Um yeah. All the regulations and restrictions are their fault right? Making jobs go overseas? Making things more expensive?

I'll ask AGAIN--WHO is saying "Environmentalists are TRYING to destroy the economy?" :dunno:

Since you brought it up, though, Is there any question that the increased regulations and regulatory costs drive business overseas? You don't see a lot of overseas companies relocating HERE to save regulatory costs!

If power companies thought alternatives were viable?? They want to keep control of it all so they keep getting money from us.

Again, where is your evidence that "they want to keep control so they keep getting money from us"?

Don't you think that these companies would automatically select solar or wind power if it were cheaper and more efficient than the power they are producing from other sources? That's the way the world works. Despite all of the libbie wishful thinking, and 100 BILLION of OUR dollars, it hasn't worked here, or anywhere else in the world without even MORE tax subsidies. Failure of a program has never kept a libbie from insisting that we keep trying it over and over, though. :rofl:

That's the problem with libbie "thinking"--they seem to believe that they can make things more efficient by simply MANDATING them! :rofl:

I'll file your claim that they are keeping for themselves alongside the nutcases that opine that "someone invented a carburetor that runs on water, but Detroit bought up the patent so it can't be used"

OR

"___company wanted to come to Albert Lea, but "they" kept them out." :rofl:

Kind of like the foolish King commanding the ocean waves to stop--just because he SAID so. :rofl:

If the focus was smaller homesized energy sources the power companies would be left out.

Have YOU bought a wind or solar unit yet? If not, WHY NOT? Might it be that THE PRODUCT THEY PRODUCE ISN'T COMPETITIVELY PRICED?

If you believe the process has a future, why don't you invest every cent you can get your hands on in one of the companies? After all, the stock is pretty cheap now, what with all of the bankruptcies of failed Obama0subsidized companies! :rofl:

goodgod why am I even trying to discuss anything with you.

That's OK, Rosalind. Get your facts together, and try again after you think things through. In the meantime, get a "group hug" from OTHER "true believers." :grouphug:
