A central theme of the Democrats is that “It is all so easy”. They imply that Republican obstruction is stopping a glorious future. If only we would develop the correct resources we would all be busy in our jobs, happy and secure.

When this is applied to energy, the thought is that we don’t have to be money-grubbing. Just a bit higher price, and some encouragement to the technologists, is surely all that is needed to have plentiful energy. Twist this wire and push that button. How hard could it be? It is so easy to imagine. We sent people to the Moon, so why not energy for all? Without carbon, please. It just takes the political will.

Of course this is disasterous, wishful thinking.

Ah…he’ll pick my pocket today, but think of that delicious omelet we get down the road. Just like in North Korea.

Audio of Obama discussing this topic: Here and here. The linked presentations include editorial commentary which you may ignore if you wish. The main point is to listen to Obama and judge for yourself. Thanks to the reader who forwarded these links.

Is this part of his job creation strategy? I love how the Elitist Illuminati party is planning the destruction of the middle class, while promising to give them a tax break. Killing jobs through taxes so that they become dependent on the govenment. Brilliant!
