WE'RE GOING BROKE TRYING TO GO GREEN...



Just two days after Barry "Almighty" blocked construction of a major oil pipeline, we have some nincompoop from his administration coming out and touting its efforts to expand domestic production of renewable energy. Agriculture Secretary and resident dunce, Tom Vilsack, announced Friday that his agency has approved a $25-Million conditional loan guarantee to build a 55,000-square-foot biorefinery plant in Iowa. The Fiberight facility will produce cellulosic ethanol by converting municipal solid waste and other industrial pulps into "advanced biofuels," or so said the the news release. "This project is another step the Obama administration is taking to support production of a new generation of renewable fuels, in order to build an active biofuels and biomass production industry in every region of the country," said Vilsack. "Investments in renewable energy create jobs and reduce America's dependence on foreign oil." What a freaking crock!

This project that was so enthusiastically promoted by this moron is expected to create, now get this, a whopping 38 jobs and somehow manage to save another 16 jobs as well. By contrast, expansion of the Canada-Texas Keystone XL pipeline would have created thousands of jobs with some estimates being as high as 22,000. Although many Democrats dispute that number. Well, hells-bells, I get it now. Makes total and complete sense to me now. After all, why go with a project that has the potential to create upwards of 20,000 jobs when you can go with one that you know will create 38? And, and, save another 16 to boot. Boy howdy, I'm just so damn glad we got this team in charge of things. Otherwise I might be a little worried. This is INSANITY! That there is anyone in this country who will admit that they plan to vote for Barry again is, is, well, I don't know what it is. Other than we must have one humongous moron class in this country!


So anyway, the USDA news release notes that Americans import "just over half (60%) of our transportation fuels," and it says the U.S. "can do more to meet the President's goal of reducing our net fuel imports by one-third by 2025." Proponents of the Keystone XL pipeline also say that the U.S. can do more to reduce fuel imports. “Until this pipeline is constructed, the U.S. will continue to import millions of barrels of conflict oil from the Middle East and Venezuela and other foreign countries who do not share democratic values Canadians and Americans are privileged to have,” said Russ Girling, TransCanada’s president and chief executive officer, in a statement on Wednesday announcing that his company will reapply for a Keystone XL permit. At Secretary Vilsack's direction, we have the USDA saying it is working to develop the national biofuels industry, producing energy from non-food sources in every region of the country. Nutty? Yup!


It's very plain to see here, that the taxpayers are once again getting the shaft. Nothing is being done here at home to reduce the price at the gas pump, while more and more of our hard earned money is being wasted on fanciful fuels that may never even reach the marketplace. It's already been proven that between production and transportation, more energy is expended in getting a gallon of ethanol to market than is spent on producing a gallon of gas. And ethanol destroys your car's engine. This whole green crap is nothing more than a pipedream and a cockamamie scheme by Barry "Almighty" to justify his having allowed the price of a gallon of gas to go from $1.83 when he came into office to nearly $4 gallon. This adminstration simply has no interest in drilling anywhere. What other country on this entire planet, possessing such vast energy reserves as the United States, would simply sit on them, and leave them untapped? NO ONE!!!
