Jones is a asshole. I am surprised that you have difficulty recognizing that. Truly.

Sigh. I was just trying to be nice, human, a friend.. Your bitterness is too deep, too entrenched, too much a part of your soul. I hope that you find peace. Your anger will destroy you.You will die alone, and unlived. Intellectual eclat may satisfy you for the present, but it will dim, and then you will see what you missed. I will pray for you.

I am sure the “Green Jobs Czar” would be as effective creating jobs as the Department of Energy has been in finding alternative energy sources and getting us off oil.

The “Green Jobs Czar” would create jobs as well as the Department of Education has brought up test scores. Thank you Washington. Thank you Barack.

Let’s see: 1. Oil companies raking in billions, 2. Worried about gas prices and getting to work, 3. A 50% source tax (where the hell did that number come from?), 4. Time to get oil independent!

It is apparent you know nothing of economics and the world in which you exist. You only live in a fantasyland. Do you know what happens to your precious gas prices when you tax the source? Your price at the pump goes up Idiot. Do you know that the world’s infrastructure, just about every aspect of it, including your precious green future is dependent on petroleum products?

Oil independence sounds like you don’t want the USA to depend on foreign oil. Good idea but loons like yourself won’t allow steps to be taken to become truly “independent.” All options are “bad” for the environment, e.g. oil drilling on-shore or off-shore, nuclear, natural gas, coal, etc. All forms preferred by the Green movement today only contribute miniscule amounts of energy on good days, wind, geo-thermal, solar, etc.

You sound like one really confused puppy who really needs to do some studying.

IMO, what we need is a public/private plan for converting the world’s economy off petroleum over say the next century. It will take a lot of research and investment and time to avoid stochastic shocks that could put the world economies into a lot of hurt if not managed properly. But it is unrealistic to simply turn off the oil spigot or tax those big, bad oil companies into oblivion. And don’t be fooled by the scare mongers who will cry “We can’t wait that long! The earth will be destroyed by then!” They don’t know squat!

From your Washington Post link:

“MR. JONES: Sure. Yeah. A green job and especially a green-collar job is a blue-collar job that has been upgraded and up-skilled to better respect the environment.
00:04:28 So, for instance, you’re talking about the–the guys who put up the solar panels or–or the women who put up solar panels. You’re talking about people who are manufacturing wind turbines and putting those up, people who weatherize and retrofit buildings, so they don’t waste so much energy, but, also, you’re talking about the middle of the country. We’re also talking about rural green jobs. For instance, it’s not just about manufacturing those wind turbines in the cities. You’ve got to deploy them, and that’s got to be deployed out in rural America. You also have the opportunity to have green jobs in crops to energy, so-called “smart biofuels,” or wood to energy.”

I hope you people keep saying things like this. Because it only reveals that you have no idea what Jones’ position actually was.

Good to know. Let me know if you find a human; not likey in your neck of the woods I imagine, but I’m pulling for you.

Ya know in most of the world, you would be up against the wall?? Ya know??
