Corporations haven't just bought politicians, multi, they've bought the whole environmental movement. In case you haven't noticed, environmentalism is the latest fashion. Reread what you've posted:

Thanks Captain..
Something tells me it's a lot more than just the sales of the Prius and solar panels you are talking about here... it's more about the the government not getting taxes from it ,as you mentioned or maybe stopping people from powering vehicles on things like water... but theres a lot more about keeping a long term dependence on Oil, about not giving the general population access to ideas and technologies that would unhook them from relying on petrochemicals for heating ,transport and packaging.... In case you would like to pull me up on my previous post in the 'AlGore' thread Quote:
but it won't alter the fact that we are being kept back from technology that could of been on the way to being devolped many decades ago. So if renewable energy is becoming the entrepreneurial equivalent of the internet revolution , we should really start getting the real picture on this whole subject..... very, very soon. Bullshit... it will never happen... you know it, I know it. What will happen is you will see many more years of this same repetitive obscurification by those that gain from Oil and Petro-chemical sales. So it is corporate kickbacks to the Democrats that is making them ditch the 8-year extension for the solar investment tax credits in the energy bill you reckon then , Mazer? Not insanity, the devil or something else but influence of interests such as CFR, Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission, because that is a bit unusual |

My opinion on this subject seems to be overall the same as yours. We need to see incentives for development of a host of environmentally responsible programs. For example, more people would take advantage of solar energy if it was not so expensive.
Quote:
If you think Pelosi and Reid are bad, wait and see what happens if Hillary Clinton gets in the White House. The 2008 vote so far looks like trying to pick the lesser of evils from the available candidates and hope for the best, but expect the worst. No disrespect to anyone is intended but I think that the issue with the Dems and the tax credits thing is that the Dems would rather encourage change (to more environmentally sound technologies) by taxing carbon emissions rather than encourage such changes through tax credits or similar types of incentives. Whereas both taxation and tax credits would encourage changes, tax credits encourage change and does not cause bureaucratic induced waste, and is not confiscatory. The kind of changes that need to happen can not happen overnight. Whereas changes won’t come swiftly, they are far less likely to come at all if there is no incentive for change.

You pathetic dipshits still don't get it; the dems say whatever trips your idiot triggers and gets your votes with no intention of turning their rhetoric into action.
You're all mosttly free to put solar panels on your roofs or windmill generators in your yards or battery powered cars in your garages and if you're too dumb to do it yourself you can pay someone to do it for you. BUT YOU DON'T!! Why is that the government's fault? It didn't make you stupid worthless lackeys, that's your parents doing. And they should have killed you when you first showed how stupid and worthless you really were. |

Another typically stupid and worthless post from albed.. you never want to contribute anything to the discussion, you use it as just another opportunity to launch into some poorly thought out vitriolic statements about others. Your intention obviously to discourage people from posting anything ,admittedly it works ,not because you are intelligent or clever.. but because most people can't be bothered with your repetitive narcissistic accusations... in a nutshell you are fucking boring.
SO tell us, what is it that makes you worth so much and the rest so worthless, as you continually try and assert? |

I'm not always trying to blame problems on others even to the extent of making up fictional people to blame. Bilderberg this, bilderberg that... you're just fucking pathetic multi.

I actually have solar electric panels, a wind generator, and a Prius.
There is nothing wrong with being reasonably responsible toward the environment.. There is a large difference between acting with environmental responsibility and acting with knee-jerk environmental decisions based on less than all the facts. The point here is that using tax credits to encourage investment in “green technologies” is a much better approach than taxing carbon emissions and playing the musical “pollution credits” ball and shell type game.

"Tax credit" is just another deceptive term for government handout and if a technology is truly beneficial it doesn't need government handouts for people to invest in it.
Government sponsored alternative energy programs have been popping up for decades and most collapse as soon as the teat goes dry and just waste money and effort that private investment could have directed in a more productive manner. If government officials want to come straight out and declare CO2 a pollutant they should honestly demonstrate its harmfulness and pass straightfoward laws restricting its release for the public good and then people will adapt with their own very superior ingenuity. But politicians only see fit to use it as propaganda to get themselves political support from the gullible. If they truly wanted to reduce CO2, nuclear power is tried and proven, but again it's only been used for propaganda by politicians who aren't interested in anything but their own agenda.

So what now, idiot? They sure have had a lot of annual meetings over the years for people that don't exist... Maybe they just don't exist because you see them as untouchable, above the law. |

I apologize for being off topic, but the reasons why these people who should be doing more to channel more resources to renewable energy development, are kicking them in the teeth instead...
While Bilderberg is a just one tiny conference of elite rich and political leaders.. the tip of an iceberg of corruption in high places, the idea that albed can just declare they 'they don't do anything' is pretty laughable. Quote:

no, but it sure helps. like it did for the railroads or the Internet or the Space Program. they don't teach you this in Wingnut 101, but there is lots of precedent for successful government investment in technology.

I wouldn't say "lots" but your picks are hilarious; railroads were a morass of government corruption, shoddy construction, and monopolistic abuse in the 19th century, the government actually fought off private investment aimed at taking the internet public for a time, and the billions of dollars wasted and lives lost with that space shuttle boondoggle are a mark of government incompetence that even a semi-literate surf-monkey should know about.

Oh bullshit, the railroads were basically just land grants and the internet was practically an accident and the shuttle was actually a step backward in space travel. Pry your lips off the government ass and get some fresh air.
