Did Sen. Rockefeller Call Obama A Liar?

by

You be the judge….

“He says ‘I’m for clean coal,’ and then he says it in his speeches, but he doesn’t say it in here,” said Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. “And he doesn’t say it in the minds of my own people. And he’s beginning to not be believable to me.”

  6. Obama wants to get rid of 2.8 billion dollars in tax breaks for the coal industry as part of a package: “The fiscal year 2011 budget plan calls for repealing $38.8 billion worth of tax breaks for oil, natural gas and coal companies over a decade, according to the White House.”

    But, “The Department of Energy is pouring $1 billion from the economic stimulus package into relaunching FutureGen, an ambitious but long-stalled project intended to show how carbon dioxide can be captured on a large scale from coal-fired power plants.”

    “The FutureGen project holds great promise as a flagship facility to demonstrate carbon capture and storage at commercial scale,” said Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, “Developing this technology is critically important for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. and around the world.”

    So, what this sounds like is out with the old and in with the new. Clean coal is better than dirty coal isn’t it?

  8. “Developing this technology is critically important for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. and around the world.”

    I have heard something about “greenhouse gas” before. Isn’t it what is causing rampant man made, ocean-rising-before-your-very-eyes, glacier melting global super heating?

    I see that carbon sequestration is “critically important.” Settled science and intergalactic consensus and all that.

    So, what this sounds like is out with the old and in with the new. Clean coal is better than dirty coal isn’t it?

    Yep. That is why our coal fired plants have scrubbers to remove particulate matter. You may be confusing the carbon dioxide you exhale with halitosis. Listerine will help cure that.

    Have you paid any attention to the goofy Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, FutureGen project? If we can’t bury and maintain a minute amount of nuclear waste, how are we ever going to “sequester” carbon dioxide?

    Maybe Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, and Barak Hussein Obama, a Nobel Prize-winning Community Organizer, have worked out an answer that is too complex for mere mortals to comprehend.

    If you want to see “dirty coal” at work, go to China. No scrubbers and air pollution you can walk on. But, of course, they are exempt from the Kyoto Protocols. It only makes sense. (If you think the Kyoto Protocols make sense, that is. If you do not believe the Kyoto Protocols make sense, then the China/India exemptions just make more nonsense on top of nonsense.)
