Prepare To Be Offended

With Obama’s recent appointment of Carol Browner as the new energy czar, we can expect some radical changes in energy policy. Why? Well, she is a long time environmentalist and former head of the EPA under Clinton. Her bio:

Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency under President Bill Clinton. Leading the EPA from 1993 to 2001, she was the longest-serving Administrator in the agency’s history. Browner currently serves on the board of several non-profit organisations, including as chair of the National Audubon Society, one of the nation’s oldest environmental organisations, and as a member of the Board of the Directors of the Center for American Progress, the Alliance for Climate Protection and the League of Conservation Voters.

To top it all off, she is a socialist! I would point you to the Socialist International site to see it for real, but the scrubbed it. Imagine that. Thanks to Big G(oogle), you can see it right here.

Combine all three, and there you can expect radical changes.

The whole “bankrupt the coal plants” thing by Obama probably won’t save McCain, but a couple of interesting side things concerning this subject have come up.

First, while watching Hannity and Colmes, Colmes in typical fashion kept saying that Obama supports clean coal technology. Hmm… well Biden told someone in Ohio in September that “we’re not supporting clean coal” and “No coal plants in America.”

So which is it? Even if they did support clean coal, their plan would bankrupt all of the existing coal plants and force the building of new coal plants on the new technology. Apparently only a few are actually operational according to the DOE. So what about the other 1500 power plants?

If they were forced into bankruptcy due to taxation or penalties, can you imagine the cost of electricity in this country? Never mind the 100’s of thousands of jobs gone. But hey, we have solar and wind power to save us, right?
