Just The Facts, Energy IS More Than Just Fat Cats

REAL People, Real Money

Hey folks,

Let's get real about all this shall we? In today's From the Energy Front, I want to talk about the PEOPLE and the MONEY that are directly and indirectly involved in the Energy Field. I know this goes against the Anti-Oil agenda that says, "It's all about Evil Big Oil, and Windfall Profits."

We have already talked about "Windfall Profits." There is no such thing in the energy business. This does not stop some from attempting to convince you that they do nothing but sit back and collect "Insane Profits." We hear all the time how some in Government want to STEAL "Big Oil's" profits and spread them around. They give the impression, that YOU, who may be having a hard time paying your bills, will be sharing in the BILLIONS of dollars that those evil Oil Companies make. Do not forget, we will also "Save the Planet" with some of these profits as well.

None of this is true. YOU will get nothing. There will be NO Green Jobs created. There is nothing viable in the "Green Arena" yet, nor is there likely to be any time in the next Decade or two. What we WILL get, is HIGHER Energy costs, HIGHER Unemployment, and NOTHING in the way of "Saving the planet."

Here are some FACTS about the people and fiances involved. Some Democrats are getting it.

The Economic Impacts of the Oil and Natural Industry on the U.S. Economy




“I am communicating that in every way I know how,” said Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), one of at least a half-dozen Democrats who've told the White House or their own leaders that it's time to jettison the centerpiece of their party's plan to curb global warming.

The creation of an economywide market for greenhouse gas emissions is the heart of the climate bill that cleared the House earlier this year. But with the health care fight still raging and the economy still hurting, moderate Democrats have little appetite for another sweeping initiative — especially another one likely to pass with little or no Republican support.

“We need to deal with the phenomena of global warming, but I think it’s very difficult in the kind of economic circumstances we have right now,” said Indiana Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh, who called passage of any economywide cap and trade “unlikely.”

At a meeting about health care last month, moderates pushed to table climate legislation in favor of a jobs bill that would be an easier sell during the 2010 elections, according to Senate Democratic aides.

“I’d just as soon see that set aside until we work through the economy,” said Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.). “What we don’t want to do is have anything get in the way of working to resolve the problems with the economy.”

“Climate change in an election year has very poor prospects,” added Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.). “I’ve told that to the leadership.”

At least some in the Democratic leadership appear to be listening.

Asked about cap and trade last week, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said: “At this point I’d like to see a complete bill, but we have to be realistic."

Moderate House Democrats who voted in favor of the cap-and-trade bill just before the July 4 recess came under fire back home, and Republicans have vowed to make the issue a key line of attack during next year’s elections.

Some Democrats would prefer to deny them that target.

“I’d prefer to do energy because I think you could get a really broad consensus on a lot of energy legislation,” said Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.).

But supporters of the climate bill say that cap and trade is an inextricable part of any energy package for next year.

Again, this shows you that they really DO understand that this is all based on a HOAX. Why? Because if they REALLY believed that the planet was about to die, we would NOT be debating ANYTHING. NOTHING would come before doing SOMETHING to stop the impending disaster. We would NOT have agreed in the eleventh hour of Copenhagen to, well, talk more next year, just to give the impression they accomplised something, we would have ACTUALLY DONE something. You got an astorid comming, and threat rising, all come together to STOP it, and attempt to SAVE us. Yet, nothing. Talk. Even though SOME in the Chicken Little Crowd want you to believe we only have 10 years, oops, uh 20 years, oops, uh, another 20 years,, 100 MONTHS!, uh, nevermind. We'll talk later.

The truth is, real people, and real money will be hurt and LOST, if the Kooks get Cap and Tax on top of Obamacare, that will already kill the economy. Once again, we see the difference in Dreams and Reality. Time to WAKE UP AMERICA!
