I'm sure their lives will be happier and healthier as the planet begins to purge us all from existence.
A coalition of Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians rallied today in Las Vegas to call for affordable energy and an end to government favoritism toward so-called clean energy sources. Speakers at the Affordable Energy Summit 8.0 explained wind and solar power championed by Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and renewable power activists at the rival Clean Energy Summit 8.0 are prohibitively expensive, yet producing few if any net environmental benefits.
Energy is the lifeblood of our economy, noted Heartland Institute senior fellow for environment and energy policy James Taylor. Government programs that force expensive wind and solar power on energy consumers reduce living standards and drive people into poverty.
Forcing Americans to spend increasingly high amounts of money on energy deprives us of the means to purchase health care, education, better nutrition, and a wide array of goods and services that make life happier and healthier, Taylor added. It also kills jobs throughout the entire economy when people have less money to spend on these desirable goods and services.
I'm sure their lives will be happier and healthier as the planet begins to purge us all from existence.
