Senators vow to strip Obama climate power

Conservative senators vowed Monday to strip President Barack Obama of his power to regulate greenhouse gases, in a move that would cripple US efforts on climate change if successful.

Only liberals would think man has the power to change the climate.

Eleven Republican senators introduced a bill that would stop the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases, which scientists blame for global warming, without explicit approval by Congress.

Global warming? Has anyone looked at a weather map lately?

Under Obama, the federal agency has steadily increased standards on gas emissions. The Republicans accused Obama of circumventing Congress, where a so-called “cap-and-trade” bill to mandate emission curbs died last year.

Well Obama said that if congress wouldn’t do what he wanted he would do it through regulations, no surprise there.

“My bill will shrink Washington’s job-crushing agenda and grow America’s economy,” said Senator John Barrasso, a Republican from Wyoming and skeptic of climate change who is leading the effort.

“I will do whatever it takes to ensure that Washington doesn’t impose cap-and-trade policies in any form.”

Yeah he and most Americans are skeptical of climate change/global warming as we prepare for yet another major winter storm – but I guess the cold ass snowy winter are a result of the planet heating up right? And as for cap and trade … is there not Democrats running against Obama by shooting the crap and tax bill with a rifle? Yeah I believe there is.

The Obama administration counters that a shift to green energy would help both the planet and the economy by creating a new source of high-paying jobs.

If green energy was viable we wouldn’t have to bride people to use it… but on that note let’s take a look at green energy. From the Obama Washington Post…

Cold truths about electric cars’ cold-weather shortcomings

Being car-bound in sub-freezing weather for six hours can make a guy think. I counted my blessings. The situation could have been worse, I realized: My fellow commuters and I could have been trying to make it home in electric cars, like the ones President Obama is constantly promoting, most recently in his State of the Union address.

Now this is the Washington Post, not the Washington Times… rather shocking.

It is a basic fact of physical science that batteries run down more quickly in cold weather than they do in warm weather, and the batteries employed by vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf or the Chevy Volt are no exception.

The exact loss of power these cars would suffer is a matter of debate, partly because no one has much real-world experience to draw on. But there would be some loss. Running the heater to stay warm, or the car radio to stay informed, would drain the battery further.

Here’s how thecarelectric.com, a pro-electric Web site, candidly summarized the matter:

“All batteries deliver their power via a chemical reaction inside the battery that releases electrons. When the temperature drops the chemical reactions happen more slowly and the battery cannot produce the same current that it can at room temperature. A change of ten degrees can sap 50% of a battery’s output. In some situations the chemical reactions will happen so slowly and give so little power that the battery will appear to be dead when in fact if it is warmed up it will go right back to normal output. . . .

Any idiots should know cold weather drains batteries and warm weather will help batteries… so in order for the Obama green agenda to be successful we need Global Warming or we’ll all freeze to death in a snow bank with a dead battery.

There all absolute idiots.

Go ahead and read the rest of the  Cold Truth article and see all the flaws of electric cars – and I haven’t even touched on the subject that Electric cars were first invented in the 1830′s (yes the 1830′s) and they failed, they tried again in the late 1800′s and  early 1900′s they failed, they tried again in the 1960′s and 1970′s and they failed and now there are trying again… are you seeing a pattern? For the record doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is a sign of insanity.
