Cum să faci miliarde luptînd împotriva „încălzirii globale”, împotriva gazelor de șist și în general pentru salvarea planetei de la capitalism, pe care să îl înlocuiești cu un capitalism de cumetrie.

$16.4 miliarde din cele $20.5 miliarde oferite ca împrumut de guvernul american (administrația Obama) pînă în septembrie 2011 pentru dezvoltarea „energiilor verzi” și pentru crearea de locuri de muncă în această industrie s-au dus la companii conduse sau deținute de donatorii campaniei lui Obama sau la donatori importanți ai Partidului Democrat.

Peter Schweize, membru al Hoover Institution spune că 4 din 5 companii care au primit bani de la Departamentul de Energie sînt „conduse sau deținute în primul rînd de susținătorii financiari ai lui Obama”.

„Generozitatea politică a acelor companii este probabil cea mai bună investiție pe care au facut-o vreodată în energii alternative”, explica Schweizer. „Banii au venit înapoi înzecit”

Situl Heritage.org adaugă:

„Aceasta este consecința inevitabilă a investițiilor guvernamentale masive în economia privată. Lăsînd la o parte pierderile asociate transferului de bani de la industrii profitabile la industrii care se bazează pe sprijin guvernamental, aceste investiții încurajează afacerile neproductive, facînd „vînatul de subsidii” mult mai profitabil decît munca susținută și inovația.”

Din companiile care au primit bani de la administrația Obama, 19 dăduseră deja faliment pînă în iunie:

For those who only hear about these failing companies one by one, the following is a list of all the clean energy companies supported by President Obama’s stimulus that are now failing or have filed for bankruptcy. The liberal media hopes you’ve forgotten about all of them except Solyndra, but we haven’t.

Evergreen Solar
SpectraWatt
Solyndra (received $535 million)
Beacon Power (received $43 million)
AES’ subsidiary Eastern Energy
Nevada Geothermal (received $98.5 million)
SunPower (received $1.5 billion)
First Solar (received $1.46 billion)
Babcock & Brown (an Australian company which received $178 million)
Ener1 (subsidiary EnerDel received $118.5 million)
Amonix (received 5.9 million)
The National Renewable Energy Lab
Fisker Automotive
Abound Solar (received $400 million)
Chevy Volt (taxpayers basically own GM)
Solar Trust of America
A123 Systems (received $279 million)
Willard & Kelsey Solar Group (received $6 million)
Johnson Controls (received $299 million)
Schneider Electric (received $86 million)

That’s 19 (that we know of so far). We also know that loans went to foreign clean energy companies (Fisker sent money to their overseas plant to develop an electric car), and that 80% of these loans went to President Obama’s campaign donors.

În același timp, SUA a descoperit rezerve de petrol imense pe teritoriul ei, rezerve ce ar asigura independența energetică față de țările din Orientul Apropiat. Obama nu permite exploatările:

investors.com – Why is Obama Lying About US Oil Reserves?

With only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices,” President Barack Obama said in his weekly address March 10. “Not when we consume 20% of the world’s oil.”

The claim is, if not blatantly false, at best grossly misleading. If the President didn’t know this, some advisors should be dismissed. If he did, he needs to accept the blame and formally correct it.
As Investors Business Daily explained,

… the figure Obama uses—proved oil reserves—vastly undercounts how much oil the U.S. actually contains. In fact, far from being oil-poor, the country is awash in vast quantities—enough to meet all the country’s oil needs for hundreds of years.

P.S. Emiratele Arabe Unite finanțează filme împotriva exploatării gazului de șist în SUA, menținînd astfel America dependentă de petrolul arab.

Matt Damon’s Anti-Fracking Movie Financed by Oil-Rich Arab Nation
„A new film starring Matt Damon presents American oil and natural gas producers as money-grubbing villains purportedly poisoning rural American towns. It is therefore of particular note that it is financed in part by the royal family of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates.

The creators of Promised Land have gone to absurd lengths to vilify oil and gas companies, as Scribe’s Michael Sandoval noted Wednesday. Since recent events have demonstrated the relative environmental soundness of hydraulic fracturing – a technique for extracting oil and gas from shale formations – Promised Land’s script has been altered to make doom-saying environmentalists the tools of oil companies attempting to discredit legitimate “fracking” concerns.
While left-leaning Hollywood often targets supposed environmental evildoers, Promised Land was also produced “in association with” Image Media Abu Dhabi, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Media, according to the preview’s list of credits. A spokesperson with DDA Public Relations, which runs PR for Participant Media, the company that developed the film fund backing Promised Land, confirmed that AD Media is a financier. The company is wholly owned by the government of the UAE.
