Alan Caruba: Wind Power Lunacy

Warning Signs

"Can you love nature when it is covered with wind turbines? Or solar panels?"
....
"My personal objection to wind power is the sheer ugliness of these devices. The notion of covering hillsides and plains with them is an offence to the land—to the nature Greens profess to love—and to the many thousands of birds they slaughter every year."

Sounding The Alarm - New Regulations On The Way From The EPA

FreedomWorks  "Last week, President Obama marked the next step in his second term agenda in a speech about global warming and the EPA. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) began sounding the alarm immediately about the current regulatory nightmare that has removed local control over environmental decisions, and the new regulations that are on the way out of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). When you start digging into the ALEC report on the actions of the EPA under the Obama administration, a bleak and troubling picture emerges. The EPA has been charged with expanding its role in regulating almost every aspect of American life. This will result in less individual freedom, less local control and more power being consolidated at the federal level, and the economic impact will be nothing short of devastating."

Obama and the crumbling of a liberal fantasy hero

The Financial Times

"It has taken a long time, but the world’s fantasies about Barack Obama are finally crumbling. In Europe, once the headquarters of the global cult of Obama, the disillusionment is particularly bitter. Monday’s newspapers were full of savage quotes about the perfidy of the Obama-led US.

"Der Spiegel, the German magazine that alleged that America’s National Security Agency has bugged the EU’s offices, thundered that “the NSA’s totalitarian ambition . . . affects us all . . . A constitutional state cannot allow it. None of us can allow it.” President François Hollande of France has demanded that the alleged spying stop immediately. Le Monde, Mr Hollande’s home-town newspaper, has even suggested that the EU should consider giving political asylum to Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower.

This article does support Obama with these words:

"Mr Obama was living in a real universe, full of hard choices. It was his overheated critics who lived in a fantasy world."

Ironic that Europe condemns Obama for several of the things I feel he does right. As far as I'm concerned, he needs more of Dick Cheney's qualities.

 

One of the comments in this article:

"It has gradually dawned on President Obama’s foreign fan club that their erstwhile hero is using methods that would be bitterly denounced if he were a white Republican"
