Democrats Energy Policy

The Democrat Marxist plan to control America's economy with a top down command and control structure, ala Soviet Union of old, is hitting some bumps. Along with a matching 9% favorability rating, breaking all previous records for most disliked Congress. Nancy and Harry are in virgin territory here.

After their secret plan to lower gas prices failed, honest injun there really was a secret plan right before the 2006 election, the Democrats before the 4th of July break said they had all the answers and would let America know right after they got back. OK, they are back, and we would like to know. What do the no-drill, no-refineries , no-nuclear power plant, America has no-future, wing of the lunatic Democrat party have for us, can we see? Well no we can't. What we get is the latest Obambi fad -- 'Jive Talking'

Democrats, out of gas

You see the new secret energy plan was complicated by them wasscally Republicans who wanted to drill and build America's energy future.

Energy bill out of gas

House Democrats are in a bind on the focal point of their energy plan.

Worried that a floor vote on any energy-related measure would trigger a Republican-forced vote on domestic drilling, the leadership has scrubbed the floor schedule of the energy legislation that it vowed to tackle after the Fourth of July recess.

Just before leaving for their districts, a number of House Democrats called a press conference to declare victory on a number of energy bills — including overwhelming passage of a bill to rein in excessive oil market speculation.

Uh huh, you heard right, the super secret plan II to increase America's oil supplies was to reign in excessive oil market speculation and oil company windfall profits. Shades of Jimmy Carter who did such a bang up job with energy he moved on to foreign policy where he installed to lovable little fuzzballs, Mugabe and the Iranian mullahs, for all the world's peoples to marvel at. Yes, you can check, Jimmy Carter really did that.

Democrats declared victory on a bill they failed to pass on the suspension calendar — their “use it or lose it bill” to force energy companies to either start drilling on their federally leased land or give it back — saying they had put 176 Republicans on record as siding with the oil companies over consumers.

And they vowed that the bill, the centerpiece of their energy message, would be back.

“We’ve taken some bold steps this week, and we’re going to build on that [after recess] with the bills we take up,” Democratic Caucus Vice Chairman John Larson (Conn.) said at the press conference.

But, as of Monday afternoon, neither “use it or lose it” nor any other energy measure had been scheduled for floor action this week.

Democrats said they were simply taking a different approach to passing their top energy-related priorities.

So what about that super duper going to solve all things energy miraculous plan ...

“Right now, our strategy on gas prices is ‘Drive small cars and wait for the wind,’ ” said a Democratic aide.

Larger families will need to take two, they are small, but you can always lash them up in tandem and if you get hit by a truck, maybe half the family will escape the flattening.

Meanwhile, in other areas, global warming is growing bigger and stronger glaciers ...

Reaching more than 14,000 feet above sea level, Mount Shasta is one of the state's tallest peaks, dominating the landscape of high plains and conifer forests in far Northern California. Nearby Indian tribes referred to its glaciers as the footsteps made by the creator when he descended to Earth. Hikers flock to Shasta every summer to scale them.

With glaciers retreating in the Sierra Nevada, the Rocky Mountains and elsewhere in the Cascades, those on Mount Shasta — a volcanic peak at the southern end of the Cascade range — are actually benefiting from changing weather patterns over the Pacific Ocean.

I skipped over the AP tripe, obligatory salutations to the Goracle and other nonsense and just gave you the money quote. They couldn't bring themselves to say it outright, but the glaciers on Mt Shasta are growing, just like glaciers elsewhere in the world. It's a troubling sign for the warmists, so you can't expect them to take it all at once.

Jive Talking never solved anything. Who believes the Democrats are going to win it all come November. With a 9% approval rating they will be lucky to hang on. Once America gets a real clear picture of the obstructionist ways of the last 30 years, bye bye. To Democrats, climate change is their weapon of choice, their enemy is the American people.

About that sun, which went on holiday back in October 2005

Meanwhile the sun is still snoozing. But I assure you that has absolutely nothing to do with the colder than normal weather, nor does the end of the current maxima. So you can stay safely snuggled up in your hoax.
