How's Obama's lowering of the oceans going?

Rick Moran:  Competitor of LightSquared run out of business by Obama administration  "Unfortunately for GlobalStar, circumstances beyond their control forced them to miss the deadline and that's when the FCC, the Department of Agriculture, and the White House all began to maneuver GlobalStar into bankruptcy.
"It is a complicated story so read the entire article at the [Daily Caller]. Crony capitalism at its most blatant."

World Magazine: Gone With the Wind   "The 3,200-watts of solar photovoltaic panels provide one-third of the electricity that Bryce's family consumes, slightly reducing his monthly power bill. But the panels aren't without problems: The start-up costs were high, the inverter has already broken once, and the panels require regular cleaning.
"Bryce quickly wondered if the panels were worth the investment, and he soon realized that the limits of solar power for his Texas home extended to the rest of the country: Solar power won't run America anytime soon. Neither will wind power."
Michelle Malkin: The high priests of eco-destruction   "People of faith aren’t what’s bedeviling America. Blame the high voodoo priests of eco-destruction in Washington who have imposed a green theocracy on us all. Science be damned."  She comments:
 Water wars and the Delta smelt. The infamous, endangered three-inch fish and its environmental protectors continue to jeopardize the water supply of more than 25 million Californians. Federal restrictions have cut off some 81 billion gallons of water to farmers and consumers in Central and Southern California.....
While Salazar manufactures a new biological opinion on the matter to get the courts off his back, unemployment and drought plague the Central Valley. And the White House stands by its “scientists.”
Meanwhile a drive up Interstate 5 in California shows a chain of signs in barren fields proclaiming "Government-Created Dust Bowl"

Mother Jones blames it on global, er, climate change  and CBS blames the drought.


Judge Wanger Issues Injunction Against Federal Delta Smelt Plan in 2009. We can see how that battle came out.


BBC: A storm brews over food, water and power  "Environmentalists say the smelt is essential to the food chain, and that a decline in smelt populations has led to falling numbers of bigger predator fish like salmon and bass.
"Late last year, the US government's Fish and Wildlife Service argued that pumping water out of the delta harmed the smelt.
"A federal judge ruled water supplies to Central Valley farms should be reduced, in order to protect the fish."

As the Tunnel Dweller has previously noted, this is not your father's Democrat Party.
