I see in California the energy proposition failed. This is a little concerning but I can understand why. The biggest reason that it failed was the cost to taxpayers. With California's economic problems I see why it failed. A lot of taxpayer money would have been used to fund the project. Then T. Boone Pickens would have reaped the profits. Now I agree with the Pickens Plan and think it is the right road to take. But I think Mr. Pickens should front more of his billions to start this. Other than his p.r. budget, I think this is all he has spent.
But with that said, I will move on to the two bigger problems with our energy independance Al Gore and Robert Kennedy Jr. Why do I call these men problems? Well for two guys so "green" but yet their life style are so "carbon black" that I think they are a little hypocritical. Both men travel in nice big black SUV's and fly on private jets. I don't think the carbon footprint is being looked at here. Why not fly commercial you bozo's? I mean you both preach how we need to cut carbon emmisions. But you offer no plans how though. But yet you live in the lap of luxury. You tell us little people down here at the bottom of Olympus that we need energy alternatives, but you global warming gods won't part with any money to do so. If you are so concerned why don't the two of you and your eco-friendly friends invest in GM, Ford and Chrysler and help them retool. Instead you will leave it for Nancy Pelosi to dump on us. Mr. Kennedy you hug more trees than any one I have heard, but you are blocking a zero emissions wind farm six miles off the coast of Nantucket. Now your families compound is there and you don't want to look at windmills. Is that really a reason to block this? I don't think so, in fact I know you will not see the windmills from your house. Sean Hannity did a show on this. His reporter sat in a boat infront of the Keneedy compound and looked out. The company who wants to build the wind farm has a pole the size of the windmill out there. Guess what you can't see it from your house Mr. Kennedy. It is a half inch blip on the horizon So what is your real reason? Will your property value go down? Is it if we become to green you will have nothing to do? Won't be able to speak about global warming anymore and you speaking fees won't be paid? Does that go for you too Mr. Gore?
The hypocracy of these two men is sickening. It just is so sad that these two have nothing better to do but tell us how to live our lives, but keep up their lifestyles without thought. Preaching for us to pratice, not practicing what they preach.
