if she was against foreign energy dependence she would be focusing on American energy such as coal and oil, not dream land “green energy” sources that have proven to be economically non viable.

and you have to say to yourself “Are these congress people really this stupid?” and yes I would have to say that Mary Bono Mack is about a dumb as a stump. If you follow the Cap & Trade debate you will know that anything she said has NOTHING to do with Cap & Trade.

The quote should really read:

”While, not perfect, this bill takes devasting steps forward that will destroy jobs, produce a weaker, less sustainable American energy supply and increase our dependence on foreign oil.”

Because this is what Cap & Trade will do….
And NO ONE has any real answers about where the money goes…
Hmmmmmmmmm

” While, not perfect, this bill takes bold steps forward that will help create new green jobs, build a stronger , more sustainable American energy supply and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”

OK, now I am starting to think that her bed is buttered by someone else. Connolly (D; VA-11) in his BS letter to me wrote the identical paragraph. OK, which company or lobbyist wrote this?

I’m getting tired of hearing people conflate energy used for transportation and energy used for generating electricity.

This bill will do nothing to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. I have yet to see a car powered by sunshine and hot air. Windmills and solar panels will generate electricity but will do nothing for transportation.

As an engineer with an MBA I’ve done the research and crunched the numbers. It would take 8,000 3.6 MW GE wind turbines spread over 500 square miles (a square 22.5 miles on a side) to replace the output of a single nuclear power plant.
Although the rated output of the GE wind turbine 3.6 MW, it only achieves that output at high sustained wind speeds. The average wind speed in the windiest parts of the US are 1/3 that required for maximum wind turbine output. And the power generated is not a linear function. At the average wind speed of 5 m/s the output of GE’s 3.6 MW wind turbine is only 0.4 MW. That’s why it takes 8,000 and is why wind power is a joke.
Solar is an equal joke.
The Liberals are going to make us suffer mightily before the ignorant among us “get it”.

the only responsible vote would have been “no,” no matter what it said.

me wonder why Vanity Fair didn’t ridicule her. (Of course I do know why.) Sarah Palin has real accomplishments of her own; she isn’t in office because her husband hit a tree. Airhead Southern California women must have some attraction to conservative men. Relative youth helps, too. She doesn’t belong in a place where she can vote on issues that affect the whole world.

I’m stuck in CA-53…

Rescind all laws passed during the Obama years.

No increases in funding except for Constitutionally mandated tasks–national defense, homeland security, etc.

Reduce budget for all other programs and projects.

Reduce tax rates across the board.

Divest government ownership in all “private” enterprises.

Promise to not seek re-election once these tasks are accomplished.

If you can outnumber the communists in Charlottesville, he’s gone.

China, India & Russia??? Cap & Trade will weaken national security.
Let’s see how long the average America will be willing to pay for Cap & Trade. Cap & Trade is something we could rollback but if the congress has the same attitude towards National Health Care then I hope you are in perfect health.

Do they just live full-time in DC? I’m sorry, but I just don’t get it. He lives in Ft. Myers Fla, and she in California? I see an audit and election board inquiry in the future. I guess with her being a “moderate” Republican (pro-choice, pro-tax, pro-big-government) and Connie Mack IV a conservative Republican, it must be easier not living together. The Sanfords probably talk more to each other.
