Gas prices too high? What you need are alternatives

 Alternative energy sources are the answer to high gas prices. So says your president. And if those alternatives cost you ten times as much for an equal capability? Then take heart in the knowledge that you are doing your part while the Chinese are cruising to prosperity. Chevy Volt? No problem. They average $60,000 apiece and they will give you an average of 25 miles of gas free driving a day. Provided they don't explode in your garage from faulty batteries.

Read this tripe below and listen to this president as he tries to make the alternative energy source spiel sound reasonable.  The bottom line, if these alternatives were either feasible or affordable, then we would have a motivation and incentive to pursue them, but they are neither affordable or feasible. They are pie in the sky and ecological mumbo jumbo designed to weaken this nation and move us more rapidly into the socialist realm where Obama and his regime want us.

Mean while you and I and the rest of America are paying through the nose for gasoline while our own resources remain locked in the ground by an administration that would rather see this nation go belly up than become energy independent.



All over the world, more people are buying cars and using gas as growth in the global economy increases the demand for fuel. Likewise, oil supplies are projected to get tighter and tighter.
"China was at 5 million barrels a day in 2005. Today, they are at 10 (million). By 2015, they are going to be at 15-million-barrels-a-day demand," said John Hofmeister, former president of Shell Oil and founder of Citizens for Affordable Energy. "That's 10 million new barrels over 10 years. India is going from 4 to 7 (million) in the next three to four years."
President Obama recognizes the coming explosion in demand.
"China and India, they're growing. China added 10 million cars in 2010 -- 10 million cars just in this one country," Obama said last week. "And they're just going to keep on going, which means they're going to use more and more oil."
The president, however, argues that more drilling is not the way to protect the U.S. Instead, he wants to wean the U.S. off oil by turning to alternatives, such as electric cars.
"If we want to stabilize energy prices for the long term and the medium term, if we want America to grow, we're going to have look past what we've been doing and put ourselves on the path to a real, sustainable energy future," he said.
