Really? Why?
‘As long as countries like China go all in on clean energy, so must we’
There was so much nonsense in Obama’s State of the Union address last night, it could take days to deal with everything. Hey, we’ve got days. But I want to start with this, because it’s a classic example of how Democrats justify big-government forays that are hard to defend on their own merits:
“Other countries dominated the clean energy markets. We’ve started to change that. As long as countries like China go all in on clean energy, so must we.”
So why is it again that government must subsidize into “green energy” notions for which neither the technology nor the market demand is ready for prime time? Why do we have to put hundreds of millions into the next Solyndra or Tesla without regard for what happened to the originals? Because other governments are doing it! And we have to “win the race” or whatever.
Democrats love to justify interventions into free markets by painting everything as a global race between nations, such that if you prefer to let the private sector drive these initiatives, you’re unconcerned with American victory in the “race.” Why, it’s downright unpatriotic!
Given the outcome of our intervention in the green energy market thus far, I’d say this is a race we’d do quite well to let China “win.” Let their government take the hit while we learn from their mistakes (and ours) and let these technologies mature naturally, without the political hubris that makes us think it will happen before it’s time just because we throw a lot of money at it. If China decided to jump off a bridge . . . OK, you’ve heard that one before from your mother. Maybe your mother needs to have a word with Obama

Anyone is welcome to use their voice here at FREEDOM OR ANARCHY,Campaign of Conscience.THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN AMERICA FOR THOSE WITH OUT MONEY if you seek real change and the truth the first best way is to use the power of the human voice and unite the world in a common cause our own survival I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, ones own family or ones nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace,“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.” Love and Peace to you all stand free and your ground feed another if you can let us the free call it LAWFUL REBELLION standing for what is right
