Global Economics: Now Google Wants $4 TRILLION Just From USA.

Google wants the Unites States government to spend FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS on just alternative energy plans; how come they don't run for office, and why would officials say they don't include citizens or industries or Congress' own research into a thing before essentially not so much REALLY giving $4 trillion but "habitrail" control of a society run the way entrenched officials want it? In the spirit that there is absolutely no reason to pretend more ab inito non-existant cash needs to obfuscate for complete restructuring of human life, only the bitter and anecdotal even concerned and best shuttered up, I respectfully submit my endorsement of the balance of within text prepared by GOPUSA on grounds I think it would stifle the American way of competition and diversity (not to mention space FOR making fuels or jobs or farms et al, if all else just New Urban housing), said text being, to-wit:

"Coal alone accounts for 22 percent of our total energy supply and 46 percent of our electricity generation. Wind power and solar -- the renewables in which Google supposedly sees such potential -- represent only six percent of the renewable energy we produce and seven percent of the total energy we use. Even unprecedented progress in their development wouldn't bring them online in time to meet Google's schedule.

Today, natural market forces are bringing gas prices down and Congress has had the good sense to let the ban on offshore drilling expire. We're finally making some progress on energy, which is why we can't allow Google to dictate a national energy policy that will benefit the company at the expense of taxpayers.

Polls show that 70 percent of Americans support offshore drilling and the environmentally conscious development of America's energy reserves.

That's a solid, practical plan. Google's proposal would set us back and likely cause energy costs to spike.

They're just the latest in a line of corporate rent-seekers who want the federal government to pay for their projects. One of the key initiatives in this new plan, after all, is Google's own recently announced electricity grid.

American taxpayers are not interested in seeing their tax dollars subsidize Google's latest investment. I strongly urge you to do everything you can to reject this ridiculous proposal.

Like most Americans, I want a sensible energy policy that will make full use of all our domestic energy resources, including alternative and renewable fuels. I want more U.S. energy reserves taken off the "don't touch" list and lower taxes on energy to keep retail prices down.

But most of all, I want federal energy strategies that put the American people first, not the business interests of Internet billionaires like Google."[End of third-party text]
Makes one wonder how this will effect economies abroad, or if Google types will also pass the hat for equal or greater cash from other continents' leaders.
