Excellent idea. Also the Department of Education, whose budget goes up as national school academic achievement goes down.

Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, China can drill in the Caribbean … they and more nationas can drill and pump all the oil they want, why can’t we?

Why is ONLY the US has to cut back? Reeks of rank discrimination.

Let’s just for a moment; imagine that for the last 40 years the Dept of Defense and Dept of Energy, were working together, and , low and behold, they had improved solar energy and wind… instead of oil.

We would not be dependent on foreign oil.

Now wasn’t that really their job???????

Why are we not talking about firing the Dept of Energy…. a failed department… that is draining our resources to improve in areas that they are supposed to be finding ways around? Where is the outrage for this dept that has been taking our tax money and not being accountable for their actions?

It is a complete hypocrisy.

Just some things going through my addled mind.

Hilarious!

you keep asserting bizarre things that are tangential like Obama’s visit to Kenya and claiming i have some plan to attack people(?!!!?!?!?!) or that somehow i am following a book which I have never read. it is clear by your indiscriminate flailing around that you are out of your depths. maybe you should just stop before you discredit yourself further.

First, your terminology is defective. Its POL not “fuel.”

Second, most is used for vehicles, not generators.

Third, solar power is both limited and unreliable in Afghanistan, especially in the winter.

I could go on and on about your absurd allegations, but won’t bore the other readers.

So, in conclusion Lisa, stop the nonsense!

Any movement in a combat zone is dangerous. You want to limit your movement in a combat zone unless of course it is to move to a defensive or offensive position. Wasting resources protecting and transporting fuel is bad resource allocation. If you can cut 20% of your load and replace it with renewable energy production you can allocate the army troops protecting that said load. So to summarize if 20% of our troops do not have to put themselves in harms way for cargo, then 20% of our troops can potentially be saved. Wanumba you are out of your league on this subject. Unless you have gotten behind a MRK 19 recently to protect a supply line you are clueless in this area.

Oh, yes, you couldn’t handle that inconvenient truth, either. But instead of questioning Obama, the plan is always attack the bystanders for being alive and having ears and eyes which work.

But, without all this, who would have fisked Gabby’s announcement of the new Democratic Party Hard Sell the way it needed to be fisked?

Isn’t that what papatodd was hoping for?

“Doubtlessly wanumba just heard this ‘fact’ on Limbaugh and decided it must be true without spending 5 seconds looking into it.”
………………….

So does your brain explode when “doubtlessly” things didn’t actually happen?

Stupid Progessive Liberal Left hackneyed stereotypes to avoid sticking to the subject AGAIN.

A tacit admission that Gabby’s statement is partisan political socialist crap. “Socialist” because it’s all about redistribution of wealth, high taxes, expansion of government and putting constraints on economic growth … last week for “Global CLimate Action” to Save the Planet,” BUT THIS WEEK (eternal thanks to the East Anglia Climate Research Unit WHISTLEBLOWER HERO), it’s “National Energy Action” to … “Save our Soldiers.”

Teeth-grinding in its dishonesty.

Actually I did. I also found it was Limbaugh circulating the ridiculous claim about the Valdez.
