May 12th;....The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) quantified the total taxpayer bill for energy production for 2007 at $16.6 Billion in direct subsidies, tax breaks, and loan guarantees. Thats double in real dollars from eight years earlier, given all the money Congress is throwing at "renewables" and even more subsidies are set to pass this year. The EIA concludes that solar energy is subsidized at $23.34 per megawatt hour, wind at $23.37 and "clean coal" $29.81. By contrast "normal coal" receives 44 cents, natural gas 25 cents, hydroelectric 67 cents, and nuclear power $1.59. Wind and solar lobbies complain their not getting their fair share of the subsidy pie. Both have been on the subsidy take for years and account for less than 1% of total electricity generation. Nuclear power provides 20% of  U.S. electricity production and is subsidized 15 times less than wind. EIA also found that ethanol and biofuels receive $5.72 per BTU (British Thermal Unit) of energy produced, and $2.82 solar per BTU, $1.35 for refined coal BTU, and 3 cents per BTU for natural gas and other petroleum liquids. This shows the reason fossil fuels dominate American energy production, they are extremely cost-effective. So the next time you hear Congress or Granholm say they are going to create "Millions" of  "Green Jobs", those jobs won't come cheap, and you'll be paying for them....

Now why you try to mislead these people why not tell them that the Green Job's are cutting edge. More must be spent on them to make sure we find a reliable source of renewable energy. We have seen how Oil is robbing our pockets but the Republicans want us to stay in line.

Being a fool is something that once you see facts and refuse to try to understand does make you look a bit foolish when you think govt has the answer.

Commonsense works well when I hear BS. I know you want to throw a lot of smoke up to hide Carl's six year investigation into the gas rip off's but really the truth is there. I am not blaming Republicans for it I am blaming just George and the Good Ole Texas Boys.
