Fox News Claims Solar Won't Work in America

Posted: Feb 9, 2013

"Thanks to Fox News and its expert commentators, millions of Americans now understand the real, hidden reason why Germany's solar-energy industry is so much further along than ours. Turns out it has nothing to do with the fact that Germany's government has long supported the industry far more generously, with policies like feed-in tariffs that stimulate investment in green technologies. No, the real reason is much simpler, explained a trio of journalists on Fox & Friends: It's always sunny in Germany!";

It'd be a hoot if it weren't so awful. The Koch brothers - alone have made several hundred million dollars

over the past five or so years from rising oil prices. They are true examples of American entrepreneurial spirit--it couldn't have happened if they hadn't invested so effectively in creating and spreading these lies since the 1970s. Spend enough money, you CAN fool most of the people most of the time. And they have the money.

BTW, 1970s were when both they and I woke up to the danger, only we saw different dangers. I sat in 2-hour lines to get gas and planned to buy one of the new 60 mpg cars and put in the solar panels scientists were talking about as soon as available. The Koch brothers looked at this initial leap in scientific development as a response to limited and dwindling oil supplies, saw it as a problem, and started figuring out how to keep us all so hooked on oil we'd someday wait in 2-hour lines to buy it at $5/gallon.

And that day will come if they have their way. Just like the auto executives they intend to ride this gravy train right to the edge of the cliff, then bail.

Charles and David Koch's wealth combined now exceeds that - of the world's wealthiest man, Carlos Slim.

The vast sums they've poured into gaining such strong influence on state and local governments alone have paid off...enormously.

Germany is known the world - Fanatical Hypocrite

round for its endlessly sunny climate. You know, they haven't seen water vapor condense into a cloud over their country since 1945? The more you know.

I'm going to head over to Wiki and correct the climate section on Germany to reflect the Fox truth.

Seriously, I think the Fox and Friends could very well be three of the dumbest human beings on the face of the planet. They are stupid even on the modern journalist scale, which is really saying something. Or wait, are they news or opinion? Fox News has never quite made that clear where that line exists for them.

you slay me, FH - doe (nm)

A Hungarian nonpracticing Jew who changed his name in order to blend in with the Gentile population when the Nazis occupied Hungary. In 1944 he went to work for the Nazis, confiscating the property of Hungarian Jews while a half million of them were sent to their deaths. In retrospect, he called 1944 "the best year of my life." Asked if the slaughter of the Jews bothered him, he answered "No, no, not at all." He is certainly one of those who are now sowing chaos in this country, if ...

It has dropped to about 46% under current policies and is expected to fall to 44% in 2013, under current policies. @50% are employed people, but low income, who do pay employment taxes.

Of course no need to point out that in the TV video he has the remote in right hand. Now anyone can do this , but why, if you are left handed and relaxing. Another example of poorly-executed fakery.

There is an official spreadshet of government spending at http://www.fms.treas.gov/mts/MTS.xls. This should be examined before making false claims such as those that come from the right-wing echo chamber of late. This spreadsheet shows that George H.W. Bush spent over $19 trillion during his 2 terms. So far, Obama has spent $1.2 trillion. Hmmmm..... If we take the record back to 1980, the federal government has expended more than $45 trillion.

Around 3 years ago I had a credit card that I put a pair of tires put on (about $180). I then promptly essentially lost my job and had a series of job hopping over the next year, going through about five jobs, none of them living up to their lofty promise of easy platform and lots of work. In keeping the soap opera-esque quality, I was also dating an alcoholic at that time, and after I lost my job I moved in with him so I could save on electricity, internet, cable, telephone, etc.&nb ...
