Default Jobs cut at energy lab restored before Bush visit

Jobs cut at energy lab restored before Bush visit
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...022001717.html

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Energy Department said it has come up with $5 million to immediately restore jobs cut at a renewable energy laboratory President George W. Bush will visit on Tuesday, avoiding a potentially embarrassing moment as the president promotes his energy plan."

Bush proposed spending millions more dollars in renewable energy research. However, Democratic lawmakers and environmentalists questioned the administration's commitment when jobs were being eliminated at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado.
its good that he's actually going to be restoring staff to the labs. i'm 110% for renewable energy, but weather this is an honest effort or just an attempt to persuade the country that we're not "addicted to oil" will be unknown until we see dramatic reductions in our fossil fuel consumption

I don't believe the Bush administration is serious about alternative energy. And what about wind energy. The story made no mention of that. I heard they cut funding for nuclear development.

Default THEY ARE PHONEY BALAONEY ON ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

Early today after midnight I posted the below where I virtually predicted that there was something amiss witht he phony baloney act that W was
putting on. My worst featrs were realized !!!!!

First there is $ for R&D and then there was not, and then there is $ for R&D and then there is not.

JP I agree that W said a bunch of nice things about potential and developing technology but did he ask for R&D funding, tax breaks for advanced energy products, more tax incentives to industries for energy saving and energy multiplying technology, energy storage, energy delivery, safe nuclear development ? These are questions not accusations!! I have tries to find out some details about these things in the budget. Government cannot and should do it itself but provide a stimulus.

I see us getting around the energy crisis by taking the bold steps and vision that Kennedy did when he challenged the entire nation to go to the moon in one decade and we did.

The point is that to get there we had to develop advanced technology which spun off into the economy and provided a stimulus.

Basically I say talk is cheap !!! Show me the actions !!!

Default we thank you

Well, demos have been unhinged for quite some time, but lately, they appear to becoming even more so (if that's even possible). They are so consumed with hatred and jealousy, they are no longer able to express any coherent thoughts. No, they are nothing more than blathering, hate-filled lunatics, unable to articulate a single original idea. They have no agenda, no ideas, no values and no vision, other than hate Bush. Hatred defines their entire platform. Watching them implode is very entertaining, even if somewhat painful.

Just keep doing what you're doing, demos. On behalf of the Republican Party, we thank you.

I believe it's the other way around. The Bush Administration has finally become unhinged and you're just feeling the heat. After all, it's hard to continually try to defend the Bush Administration with one debacle after another.

Default Let's begin...

Well then, you should have little difficulty spelling out just what the demo platform is.

Let's begin...

War in Iraq
National Security (including tapping foreign phone calls without warrants)
Making Tax Reductions Permanent
Social Security

That should keep you busy for a while. Now, all you have to do is let us all know what the demo position is on these few little issues. To date, all it's been is "oppose Bush." The Republican position is very clear on all these issues. So tell us, what is the demo position?

Here's a hint...having no position other than "oppose Bush" is a sure sign of being unhinged.
