Obama continues to insult those who disagree with him on inefficient alternative energy that he pushes

Washington Times:

President Obama accused conservative opponents of his climate change agenda Monday night of carrying out an un-American campaign to protect their fossil fuel interests at the expense of the country.

“They’re trying to undermine competition in the marketplace and choke off consumer choice and threaten an industry that’s turning out new jobs at a fast pace,” Mr. Obama said at a clean energy summit here.

The president took aim particularly at the Koch brothers, saying they represent a faction in the U.S. opposed to investment in alternative energies such as solar power.

“When you start seeing massive lobbying efforts backed by fossil fuel interests or conservative thinks tanks, or the Koch brothers pushing for new laws to roll back renewable energy standards or prevent new clean energy businesses from succeeding, that’s a problem,” Mr. Obama said.

“That’s not the American way. That’s not progress. That’s not innovation. That’s rent-seeking, and trying to protect old ways of doing business and standing in the way of the future,” he said.

But a top House Republican said Mr. Obama is trying to fool the public with an agenda that will actually raise energy prices.

“Raising utility prices by as much as $1,000 per family, which will reduce GDP by as much half a percentage point a year, is not powering progress, but instead [is] a recipe for America’s decline and continued energy dependency,” said Rep. Rob Bishop, Utah Republican and chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources.

Obama turns facts and logic on its head in his push for Big Green subsidies.  If alternative energy were more efficient, and more dependable, it would not need the subsidies to begin with.   But the Koch's and others are not trying to stop anyone from investing in alternative energy.  If you want to make investment in wind and solar, knock yourself out.  But Big Green is the biggest rent seeker in America right now.

Meanwhile Obama, Big Green and the EPA have been conspiring to make energy more expensive for Americans and the poor will be hardest hit by their greed.
