Global Warming and Energy

I don't believe anybody in the US is dumb enough to believe that Obama's green energy handouts aren't politically motivated.

"The White House contends that all energy loan guarantees, including the more than $500 million given to now-bankrupt solar firm Solyndra, are awarded solely on the merits of the project, with no political influence from President Obama, Vice President Joseph R. Biden or other administration officials.
But a series of emails from solar power giant BrightSource Energy Inc. show how the company applied political pressure and used behind-the-scenes cajoling to win a $1.6 billion loan guarantee in April 2011."

The problem isn't that people are dumb and don't know about this stuff. The problem is they don't believe it affects them, so they don't care. But they will care when the checks stop showing up.
