1-Why is it the American Wind Energy Association always complains about the lack of facts in a presentation with a rebuttal lacking facts.  Where are the links to your suggestions Mr. Levesque?  More after while.

2-More on the Renewable Electricity Standard being pushed by the AWEA and its congregation of believers: “There is never a good time for policies which hurt our economy, but pushing costly environmental agendas through at a time when our country is in economic trouble will not only be ineffective but shows an insensitivity to the livelihoods and security of Americans.”

3-Delaware: “offshore wind’s once impressive momentum has been stalled by a powerful shift in economic, social and political currents, all casting a suddenly harsh light on the industry’s weakest link: the high cost of the electricity from those ocean turbines.” (I might have mentioned the other weakest link:  they don’t work)

5-Note Jon Boone’s comment to this AT post: “Russia wants to supply all of China’s gas needs.” And the US?  We’re pushing windmills! – “It’s not just China. Russia seeks to build up nuclear internally, then sell as much of its abundant natural gas to as many European nations that will by it, such as England, Germany, Italy, in the process making them dependent upon Russia in ways that could never be achieved militarily. Russia relies on continued European recalcitrance about nuclear, and hopes it will continue to push renewables, which are, as Putin stated, “claptrap.” In addition to increasing Russian national security, the policy will also reap incredible wealth.”

So, in what direction does President Obama think the US should go?
