Roys Rants – U.S. Government Deals Lead to Chinese Foothold in U.S. Energy

Since 2010, Chinese companies have invested more than $17 billion into oil and gas deals in the U.S. and Canada, giving their energy-thirsty nation a long-coveted foothold in a region known for innovative new drilling techniques.

Clinton gave them our missile guidance technology.
Obama gives them our oil.  And state dinners.
The last 3, 4, maybe 5 Presidents have given them our manufacturing.  And our money.
What’s not listed, they’ve stolen, while we talk restraint, and civility, and incentives.
And even the military is dumbfounded by their tenacity.
The time it took to build the Great Wall having been removed from history books.
Kumbaya.

And in Delaware, the newest new thing in schools is to teach foreign languages to
the kids who the state cannot currently even teach the times three table.  Or English.

Whew!  Just in time.

You Don’t Know Jack about Governor Markell

“When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself public property.”
Thomas Jefferson

In case you did not know, Governor Markell is being used to push an extremely liberal agenda upon the state of Delaware. Governor Markell is rapidly and drastically changing the blueprint of the State of Delaware.

As a citizen of the State of Delaware, one expects their Governor to be representing the voice of constituents who elected him into office. One expects him to be loyal, law-abiding, and honorable, to uphold the Constitution of the State of Delaware and the United States no matter what his opinion is. I am saddened to say fellow Delawareans; we do not have these characteristics in Governor Markell.

Delaware was once considered to be a national leading state for business. Now according to CNBC Delaware ranks 42nd in the nation (http://criblog.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/cnbc-doesn%E2%80%99t-believe-delaware-is-the-first-state-for-business/). While many small businesses in Delaware are struggling or closing, as bank loans and lines of credit have tightened, larger companies such as Fisker (the Finnish Auto Company) have very little trouble acquiring million dollar loans from federal and state agencies under the guise of bringing jobs to Delaware.

Rather than build reliable energy we must constrain demand because of wind

John Nichols – Energy and Climate Analyst

The money we waste on unreliable alternative energy should be put to work building reliable and inexpensive natural gas generation, not smart meters, or wind and solar projects with expensive transmission requirements.  We average our energy costs to keep the economic engine running. Thus,  real time pricing will kill prosperity.  We should all reject FERC’s argument as nonsense.  This is just another Progressive idea from the Federal government.

Fisker’s folly costs Delaware more than tax dollars

Brian Selander responded to harsh criticism from DelawareGOP chairman John Sigler about the Fisker layoffs.  He cited Congressman Castle and President Bush as Republicans who joined the Democrats in their scheme to pick winners and losers with taxpayer dollars.  Perhaps Mr. Selander wasn’t paying attention last year but Delaware replaced Congressman Castle BECAUSE of support for plans like this, Cap and Trade and universal healthcare (which Castle voted against after spending more than a year campaigning in FAVOR of it).  Perhaps Mr. Selander has been too busy holding on to Governor Markell’s coat tails to see that a majority of Delaware Republicans have rejected the big government/massive spending by the Bush Administration.    The bottom line is that there are always going to be the Olympia Snowe’s and the Mike Castle’s of the world who will side with bad ideas.  Picking a handful of people who don’t see the forest through the trees is laughably short cited and unfortunate to come from someone in the Governor’s office.
