re: #43 albusteve

public opinion is too unrealiable regarding AGW but national security gets everybody’s attention…it’s worth a try if we can get elected legislators on board…how could they not?

National security? The troops? The GOP doesn’t give a shit about them if it threatens the profits of their fossil fuel sponsors:

GOP’s Solyndra Witch-Hunt Halts Project to Employ Veterans Putting Solar Panels on Military Housing

SolarCity has said it would work to employ American veterans and family members for the 750 people needed to complete the project, showing that green jobs do indeed exist. The company has seen extraordinary growth in recent years. After starting in 2006 with just two people, SolarCity has added over 600 employees since 2006. And this latest project will again double the staff.

The conditional commitment for the so-called SolarStrong project was issued days after the Solyndra bankruptcy. It was a piece of good news after a drumbeat of bad developments in the weekend after the Solyndra story broke. Since then, however, the resulting investigation has added a slew of new documentation requirements, making it impossible for SolarCity to meet the deadlines imposed.

The GOP, who constantly whine about “job-killing regulations”, prove they exist by creating them.*

_{*And yes, if the Dems don’t aggressively point this out, they’re guilty of being aiders and abetters of the GOP’s evil stupidity.}
