Obama’s snake oil: Spreading “Big Oil subsidy” disinformation

The Great Renewable Energy Scam Continues

Obama’s Attitude to America: “Too Bad”

Renewable energy costs jobs, raises electric rates in U.K.
[F]or every job created in the United Kingdom in renewable energy, 3.7 jobs are lost. In Scotland, there is no net benefit from government support for the sector, and probably a small net loss of jobs.
