H.B. 7117 gives a staggering $100 million in taxpayer subsidies to the renewable energy industry during the next five years. … directs state legislators to give special preference to expensive wind and solar power while placing new obstacles in the path of affordable natural gas and coal power. … authorizes local governments to impose their own taxes and fees on consumers.

The locus of the environmental movement is the United Nations whose Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change (IPCC) has been issuing reports that were used to support the global warming hoax and, when it was exposed as a massive fraud, has since changed its message to “sustainability” whose purpose remains the establishment of a global government run out of the UN. It advances every element of the communist movement in its attack on capitalism and the foundation of the freedom enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

$90-billion investment to subsidize renewable energy sources in the natural world does surprisingly little. This amount, allocated in 2009’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to subsidize green energy initiatives, has thus far yielded today’s bustling “renewable-energy sector” that employs roughly 140,000 Americans. And even that dismal figure is wildly inflated. – American Thinker

The UN is laying the groundwork to ensure that its bogus sustainability agenda will offer enough inducements to the global business community to ensnare them in its control.

The lies required to maintain environmentalism and its vast matrix of laws and regulations are being publicly rejected and a recent example is a letter sent to NASA administrator by fifty present and former astronauts, scientists, and engineers who work for NASA is a seminal moment, not unlike Martin Luther’s 95 theses nailed to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg.

The loss of political support for the environmentalism reflects the disgust of conservatives today, and this is based upon three distinct failures: (1) the Green rejection of common sense and market operations, (2) worship of dirt replacing stewardship of Creation, and (3) the willingness of Greenies to win arguments through unsavory means. – American Thinker

The Obama administration is using NASA as a political propaganda tool in pushing its global warming myth. It allows Obama to push his anti-capitalism agenda of redistribution of wealth. Remember Obama warned us in 2008 that under his plan of cap and trade electricity rates “would necessarily have to skyrocket.” He could not get cap and trade passed even with a Democrat controlled congress so he is using government agencies like NASA and the EPA to thwart the will of the people.

All the European PIIGS [Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain] have tried [solar energy subsidies]– and the waste of taxpayer funds on failing green energy schemes is a major reason for their parlous financial state.

Given the president’s end-runs around Congress, his shredding of the Constitution and his assault on the authority of the courts, a second term free of electoral restraints may be a frightening prospect. – IBD Editorials

Increasing pain at the pump and plug underscore the reality that Mr. Obama’s energy policies are anything but all-inclusive, and his PC power is anything but sustainable – though they certainly are transforming our country.
