Spain Eliminates Green Energy Subsidies – Green Energy Industry Promptly Exists Spain

Memo to Barack Obama: After not yet having learned any lessons from your own large and still growing list of green energy failures and scandals, it you want to know what happens when top-down policymaking takes taxpayer dollars to subsidize green energy companies that can’t survive in the free market, just look to what’s happened in Spain.

On the other hand, perhaps it’s true that you really do want electricity to “necessarily skyrocket.” After all, those were, indeed, your exact words.

    Obummer knows that the green companies are dreams in the sky. He is just using them to funnel billions of dollars to big supporters and friends.
    When history is wrote, I want the truth out there on how much of this money was funneled BACK to Obama.

    There is no “green energy.” Its called “Give me your money and we can skate on Skillets sliding down the rainbow while inhaling unicorn farts that you can spit in a gas tank which has not been scientifically proven, however amongst the populists that are fed liberal agendas 24/7 who completely agree with said liberal agenda taking your hard earned government leaching paycheck and torching it for the benefit of THEM.” FROG SHIT!@

    The greenies will eventually win.

    Once they figure out how to defy gravity, aerodynamics and how to get the sun to set in the east.

    This was all an international attempt as a huge cash grab. ALGORE was the Kingpin in the attempted criminal empire. Rat Bastard. Reads like one of the old Batman TV series. Look where he’s invested. It easy to find.

    The only obstacle to the United States being an energy independent nation with a booming economy is our own government. Green energy is snake oil.

    Tony R. That’s the trouble with people writing English as a second language. Like reading directions on how to assemble something made in Balgladesh.

    I know- I caught that after I posted it and I let it stand. It was copy/pasted directly from the person’s blog.
    They have not fixed it… Or they meant for it to be written that way.

    You would be surprised at how many proffeshinal writers fail to use the “spell check”.
    It’s not my job to correct their spelling/grammar.

    I thought I saw a Romney commercial today where he (they?) went after the Choomster over the wasted $$ billions. The sad part was how much more money he has wasted in the Porkulus and non-existent budget spending. But the commercial was good.

    At least we won’t have to hear the left go on and on about what a great success green energy has been for Spain.

    Speaking of Misspellings I picked this one up from Red Eye last night – Romney misspells “America” on IPhone App

    http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2012/05/mitt-romney-iphone-app-america-misspelled/1

    It happens to the best of us. Of course the right will say it humanizes Romeny and makes him more like the rest of us. The left is going to call him an idiot and the pinko comedians are going to bang away on this for the next week.

    One of the reasons (among many) that Spain is in the fix it is, is that for every “green” job they added between three and four real jobs were lost. The green jobs were subsidized with tax money and borrowed cash. I’ll bet the conservatives are back in office after the next election because the 25% of the population without jobs will be sick of the left.
