Bushco, while approving vast, new drilling on Fed. owned lands, decided that solar power *may* be an environmental problem:
"Nanosolar's new solar panels that can produce electricity cheaper than coal in Solar Gets Competitive and they have increased production. Now we can see why most of
Nanosolar's production is being exported rather that being used to help
the US.
DENVER — Faced with a surge in the number of proposed solar power
plants, the federal government has placed a moratorium on new solar
projects on public land until it studies their environmental impact,
which is expected to take about two years.
The Bureau of Land Management
says an extensive environmental study is needed to determine how large
solar plants might affect millions of acres it oversees in six Western
states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.
But the decision to freeze new solar proposals temporarily, reached
late last month, has caused widespread concern in the
alternative-energy industry, as fledgling solar companies must wait to
see if they can realize their hopes of harnessing power from swaths of
sun-baked public land, just as the demand for viable alternative energy
is accelerating.
“It doesn’t make any sense,” said Holly Gordon, vice president for
legislative and regulatory affairs for Ausra, a solar thermal energy
company in Palo Alto, Calif. “The Bureau of Land Management land has
some of the best solar resources in the world. This could completely
stunt the growth of the industry.”
Much of the 119 million surface acres of federally administered land
in the West is ideal for solar energy, particularly in Arizona, Nevada
and Southern California, where sunlight drenches vast, flat desert
tracts.
Galvanized by the national demand for clean energy development,
solar companies have filed more than 130 proposals with the Bureau of
Land Management since 2005. They center on the companies’ desires to
lease public land to build solar plants and then sell the energy to
utilities.
Big coal has high hopes for the
future and many friends in the Congress, White House and Federal
Government. While the Republicans fight for more coal, oil and gas
exploration on Federal Lands they continue to put road blocks up for
alternatives.

The bush regime and their big oil/coal lackeys (is there a difference) seem determined to whore out this nat'n until their last day.
Funny how admitted multiple-adulterer and bigamist McCain (fuc**ed around on his crippled wife) called his ricVh "meal-ticket" adulteress/wife/mother-0f-his-chld, Cindy McCain a Tollop and Cun*.
Clearly that is the "christian" man to lead this nation.
Clive businessman Marty Parrish was escorted from Sen. John
McCain's town hall meeting by Des Moines police and members of the
Secret Service after asking McCain if he had called his wife Cindy an
expletive in 1992.
Parrish, an ordained Baptist minister who holds a master's
degree in political science, was questioned by Secret Service agents
before being released. He was not charged in the incident. Parrish
asked whether McCain called his wife Cindy an expletive related to the
female anatomy, as has been alleged in the book "The Real McCain,"
written by Dem strategist Cliff Schecter.
McCain's response got him a round of applause from the crowd:
"There's people here who don't respect that kind of language, so I'll
move on to the next questioner in the back."
In an interview with IowaPolitics.com, Parrish said his intentions
were simple in posing the question to McCain. The former Joe Biden
campaign worker stressed he is very concerned about the Republican
presidential nominee's temperament.
"We have a man whose temper can get the best of him," Parrish said.
"What I am worried about is his temper. Our country is in a serious
crisis. This election is the most significant one since 1860. It
appears America is asleep -- so I stood up and asked the question."
"The White House in December refused to accept the Environmental Protection Agency’s
conclusion that greenhouse gases are pollutants that must be
controlled, telling agency officials that an e-mail message containing
the document would not be opened, senior E.P.A. officials said last
week.
The document, which ended up in e-mail limbo, without official status, was the E.P.A.’s answer to a 2007 Supreme Court
ruling that required it to determine whether greenhouse gases represent
a danger to health or the environment, the officials said.
This
week, more than six months later, the E.P.A. is set to respond to that
order by releasing a watered-down version of the original proposal that
offers no conclusion. Instead, the document reviews the legal and
economic issues presented by declaring greenhouse gases a pollutant."
--Sweet! According to bush, no one has to pay taxes ever again: declare you will pay them at the end of the year, then decline to open the IRS audit statement.
So buy a car, buy a house, speculate on oil: should it go badly, just decline to open the credit-agency reports and subpeonas.
He really IS an MBA preznit. Gotta go; I've got things to buy, investments to make, and things to sell.......the money's all *mine*!!!
"Almost immediately after his appointment as US Attorney for the
Southern District of Mississippi in late 2001, Dunnica Lampton began to
investigate key Mississippi Democrats.
Rove, Tort Reform, and Big Tobacco
Karl Rove, is alleged
by Republican attorney turned whistle-blower Dana Jill Simpson to have
played a major role in the prosecution of Don Siegelman in Alabama.
Simpson is not alone in her allegations. Many lawyers, politicians, and
even active members of the Alabama RNC have made similar allegations
during the course of our investigation.
As one Alabama Republican close to the state Republican Party told us,
Rove “would never discuss anything on the phone. He would tell you to
meet him at some corner and then you get there and sure enough he is
standing in the middle of the intersection waving at you.”
--So this was rove's 'southern strategy'. We can already see the miscarriage of justice he orchestrated in Alabama on Dem gov Don Siegelman. Congress wants to talk to him on that, but he's claiming 'executive privilege' to cover up crimes committed from the wh.
$50 bucks says rove walks w a general pardon on bush's last day. Any takers?
If he is pardoned. Well, then he is prosecutable. A pardon only covers crimes indicted/found guilty of. Then congressional dem's can frogmarch him into session. And if he suddenly "cannot recall", well the SC and his lover buddy bush has established the right to "extreme discomfort up 'till death" against enemy americans. Since rove's helped kill more americans, just soldiers, than AQ and binladen have in their existence, a little gitmo slap-and-tickle to jog his memory seems appropriate. It's just like harmless frat-hazing, per his gop.
"Ivy Leaguers and other top law students were rejected for plum
Justice Department jobs two years ago because of their liberal leanings
or objections to Bush administration politics, a government report
concluded Tuesday. In one case, a Harvard Law student was passed over after criticizing the
nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.
Even senior Justice Department officials flinched at what appeared to
be hiring decisions based — improperly and illegally — on politics,
according to the internal report."
federal law prohibits discriminating against government job applicants
based on their politics. But since they haven't bothered to follow ANY
federal law I can think of, why start there?
