"Senate Inaction Cedes U.S. Energy Race to China: Eric Pooley"
[
Right now the U.S. Senate is conducting a master class on the perils of
legislation by rearview mirror. On July 27, when Majority Leader Harry Reid
unveiled the �Clean Energy Jobs and Oil Company Accountability Act,� the two
most powerful clean energy provisions were missing: a cap on carbon emissions
from the electric power sector and a national Renewable Electricity Standard
(RES), which would require utilities to generate at least 15 percent of their
electricity from renewable sources by 2021.

For years, business leaders from General Electric Chief Executive Officer Jeff
Immelt to venture capitalist John Doerr have warned that if America failed to
pass a comprehensive climate-and-energy bill, the country risked losing the
clean energy race to China -- sacrificing the jobs of the future in a timid,
ill-fated effort to preserve the jobs of the past. Now those warnings are coming
true.

The Party of No is still there.
China will give them jobs, right?
After all, they exported about half of all US manufacturing jobs with bushco
....

What was that about insanity & wingers?

The Chinese apparently know what to do while waiting for renewable sources
to be perfected.
