ENERGY ALTERNATIVES

by

ENERGY ALTERNATIVES

85% of energy currently from Fossil-based fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas)

FOSSIL FUELS = Finite Amount = constantly being depleted = Reserves-to-Production ratio (R/P) = length of time the reserves will last at the current use rate.

OIL = 46 years
Natural gas = 58 years
Coal = 118 years

FOSSIL FUELS = Results in Emissions into our environment = climate change.

Renewable energy (RE) = Constantly replenished naturally = never exhausted

Renewable energy (RE) = Much lower environmental impact than Fossil Fuels = GREEN

Renewable energy (RE) = Boost US energy security = Reducing dependence on imports = growing interest in using alternative sources of energy.

Green technologies = Large-scale + Small-scale use on private homes = rural areas

State Department’s Keystone XL Contractor Selection Did Not Violate Federal Rules: Report on environmental review of the oil pipeline = No conflict of interest.

London-based (like BP) contractor, Environmental Resources Management (ERM) disclosed its previous work with Calgary-based TransCanada = Report raised no major environmental objections to the TAR SANDS pipeline = SAFE AND GREAT.

LIES BY GOP CONTINUE = TRICKLE DOWN = TAX CUTS FOR JOB CREMATORS

by

GOP WANTS TO SETS DEMOCRATS AGENDA FOR 2014 AND BEYOND

Ex-Sen Jon Kyl (R-AZ) – “NOT MEANT TO BE FACTUAL” = Says Forget INEQUALITY = JUST GIVE MORE TAX CUTS TO $BILLIONAIRES AND MULTINATIONALS

$1 Million = KYL’s Group wants DEM AGENDA to be the GOP AGENDA! = MORE TRICKLE DOWN BULL + JOB CREATOR BULL = REDUCE TAXES ON RICH

KYL’s NEW TERMS FOR SAME OLD LIES = “Expanding businesses = Create jobs”

KYL wants DEMS TO SELL AUSTERITY = CUT THE SAFETY NETS = SS + Medicare + Medicaid + Obamacare = GOP FORMULA to Reduce income inequality.

SCHUMER (D-NY) rallies Democrats to raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour

Kyl says Schumer = LOVES HIS GOP LIES = MULTINATIONAL DEM = SAME GOP AGENDA = TRICKLE DOWN JOB CREATORS = WALL STREET LIES

Schumer says = Democratic agenda is designed to rev up the liberal base.

“Schumer represented Wall Street and (Won’t) turn his back on them so that he can help raise the minimum wage of average workers. He understands role wealth creation (FOR RICH) plays in a healthy economy. It’s the essence of economic growth.”

— KYL – SAME OLD GOP LIES

Schumer + Reid (D-NV) Democratic 2014 agenda = “A Fair Shot for Everyone.” = MIN WAGE BOOST to $10.10 + Equal pay between men and women + Improve college affordability + Tax hike on the wealthy

Kyl LIES that would have little impact on the economy.

“When you’re so narrowly focused as my Democratic friends are on increasing the minimum wage, on this sort of gender equality thing — that may appeal to some people but the reality is its not going to do very much for economic growth.”

— KYL – NOT MEANT TO BE FACTUAL

EVEN Luntz messes up KYL:

60% of American Swing Voters demand ACTION on INEQUALITY including good schools and college education

KYL KNOWS AMERICANS ARE FED UP WITH GOP LIES AND FAKERY!

MARK PRYOR (D-AK) AND MARY LAUNDRIEU (D-LA) ARE GOING TO USE THE SAME OLD GOP AND MULTINATIONAL DEM LIES TO FOOL THEIR BASE because they can.

KYL’s Group Goal = Change the conversation back to GOP LIES! = CENTER RIGHT BS TRICKLE DOWN + TAX CUTS FOR JOB CREMATORS = KYL = Each American Dream [SOCIAL ISSUES 501 (c) 4] PURE BULL CRAP = DON”T TAX THE RICH OR CORPORATIONS = 30+ YEARS OF GOP BULL CHIOT!

Kyl + GOP = CHALLENGE Democrats’ inequality platform = BACK TO GOP LIES

CHRISTIE = A RENEGAID AGAINST CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT!

by

CHRISTIE = A RENEGADE AGAINST CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT!

Christie’s Supreme Court Packing with His GOP Judges – TO PRIVATIZE EDUCATION = VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION AND SEPARATION OF POWERS

NJ Constitution = Requires STATE GOV to offer a “thorough and efficient” education for all of the state’s school-age children.

NJ Supreme Court ruled (1973) this obligation was not satisfied by a school-funding system that relied primarily on local property tax revenue. = Discriminated against students in urban districts with fewer resources. = Court ordering more funding from the state for the poorer districts. GOP criticized the court for “actively enforcing the STATE CONSTITUTION.” Finally resolved AND THEN ALONG CAME CHRISTIE!

Gov. Christie (R) first budget slashed funding for URBAN education = SUPREME COURT ruled that these cuts violated the state constitution, and reimposed its remedial order for more funding for the poorer schools. = CHRISTIE Cuts were “real, substantial, and consequential blow to the right to the achievement of a thorough and efficient system of education.”

Christie responded by arguing the court should not “determine what programs the state should and should not be funding,” despite the language in the state constitution. Christie pledged to “reshape” the court (FOR GOP) and in 2010 threw a respected justice off the bench by denying him tenure. = NEVER INTENDED AS A POWER OF THE GOVERNOR! = Violated traditions that ensured high court’s independence.
