Move over global warming, BP disaster is here The latest excuse to resume leftist agenda

“ The left can't "hide the decline" in world temperatures for much longer. Knowing public faith in global warming is on the wane, President Obama was determined to adapt his message Tuesday night. The BP oil spill is now the reason to boost the subsidies to his friends who make windmills and solar panels ”

“ Of course, that's because wind, solar and other inefficient forms of power generation will never be "profitable" without the hand of the federal government extracting money from the pockets of society's productive members for redistribution to those sporting the trendy "green" label - like BP, which in recent years rebranded itself as "Beyond Petroleum." Mr. Obama's speech to the nation swept aside the obvious objection that such subsidies might seem irresponsible in the face of a $13.1 trillion national debt. "We can't afford not to," was his response. Mr. Obama's friends in Europe beg to differ. The subsidy for solar panels is so generous that anyone installing one could collect a check for 436 euros ($540) for each megawatt of power returned to the electrical grid. Several solar farms sprang up as a result, with some even caught cheating by using generators to make "solar" energy at night. Researchers at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Spain calculated that these policies created green jobs at a cost of 500,000 to 1 million euros ($619,425 to $1,238,850) each. Based on their experience, the U.S. would lose about nine jobs for every four created in the renewable sector because of the tax burden imposed on the rest of the economy. [full Monty] ”
