Solar Subsidy Sinkhole or Gosh who didn't see this coming!

Re-Evaluating Germany's Blind Faith in the Sun

By Alexander Neubacher

The costs of subsidizing solar electricity have exceeded the 100-billion-euro mark in Germany, but poor results are jeopardizing the country's transition to renewable energy. The government is struggling to come up with a new concept to promote the inefficient technology in the future.

Go here to read the rest of Alexanders article.

BLN Note that solar contributes just 3% of Germany's needed power. If it goes much higher there will not be enough "backup" to supply the needed power during the many sunless days. Remember solar requires a 100% real generator back up.
To the many surprised leftists out there that "no understand solar thing make no power in dark". I know you will understand this.

Voter no happy, you sail thou door, land on ass!

What is a real American?

Real Americans are all colors, all religions, all sexual orientations, and from all political parties. Being a Real American simply means that you are for America first. That you are proudly a capitalist. That you are an individualist and that you hold freedom as put down by our founding fathers to be non-negotiable. You vigorously defend your right to gun ownership. You reserve the right to raise your children as you see fit. The constitution is a cherished document that you want your government to follow, not bend to their agenda. You understand that the government works for you and you are happy to remind them of that. That is what a Real American is. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. David C Beach

“The main role of the Federal Reserve is to try to ensure the smooth functioning of the credit system.” Well, I think I found the problem. The Federal Reserves focus on credit as opposed to savings, on bank profitability as opposed to country wellbeing shows an organization that has morphed into a special interest drain on America. Its time to end the Federal Reserve!

The Boston Federal reserve (this was the match that started the sub prime mortgage mess) study was later shown to be seriously flawed. Re-examination of the underlying file showed dozens of cases where loan applications had been incorrectly classified as rejections, and variables that had been dropped from the analysis that should have been retained on statistical grounds. Later authors showed that fixing either of these problems would have overturned the original conclusions and removed race as a significant factor in loan approvals. .

I hope some of the Liberal elites and their myrmidons in this country read the comments here. They need to learn something. Long ago, many here like myself stopped reading, watching, and listening to the Liberal Media. We got tired of being set up, lied to, and insulted. So no, I never EVER go to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, WaPo, NYT, TIME, NEWSWEEK ($1!) or any of the others.

It's Fox, Drudge, NewsBusters, HotAir, PowerLine, InstaPundit, Michelle Malkin, The Corner, BLN, etc., for me now.

Bush was right

by TBT or not TBT
That Mission Accomplished was directed towards the crew(s) of the carrier battle group as they returned from a deployment, their mission accomplished. The nutjob media turned it into something else entirely, whereas a mission strictly refers to a limited task within a much larger undertaking. Bush was very clear the overall effort in these parts of the world would amount to a "long war". Note that we are still engaged in it, and far from done. Note that the British spent around 200 years in India transforming that part of the world. They skipped that effort in the middle east, which is easy to see on the ground over there. Monstrous backwardness from end to end.

This sums up Obama and his illegitimate Presidency.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their President. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The public can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
