Helen asks…
Will passage of the healthcare bill with a strong public option and the passage of the alternative energy bill?
that will create alot of jobs in this country be the end of the GOP as we know it? Since they have no vision for the future of this country and no ideas of their own?
JW… I don’t want a one party system either. But right now we have the GOP, the party of the right wing extremists. And, the Democratic party which is just to the right of center. I don’t see those as real choices either.
bbj…. I actually went ot private schools. You’re wrong about the GOP and the Dems. Obviously, you skipped the Comparative political philosophy classes.
The Expert answers:
I can tell you are a product of public education. GOP is left of center while the Dem,s are 3/4 left of center with 10% far left of center.
Chris asks…
Why are 4 regular jobs lost for every 1 green job created?
http://eyeonfreedom.com/index.php/4-jobs-lost-for-every-green-job-created/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EyeOnFreedom+%28Eye+on+Freedom%29&utm_content=Twitter
A study of renewable energy in Scotland shows that for every job created in the alternative energy sector, almost four jobs are lost in the rest of the economy. We’ve seen this movie before.
Not only has the sun set on the British Empire, but the promise of wind apparently is deserting it as well. A new study called “Worth The Candle?” by the consulting firm Verso Economics confirms the experience of Spain and other countries: The creation of “green” jobs destroys other jobs through the diversion of resources and the denial of abundant sources of fossil fuel energy.
The economic candle in the U.K. is being blown out by wind power. The Verso study finds that after the annual diversion of some 330 million British pounds from the rest of the U.K. economy, the result has been the destruction of 3.7 jobs for every “green” job created.
The Expert answers:
I’ll bet it’s because the green jobs are jobs created by government spending either directly or indirectly with tax breaks, which means they have to take money out of the economy and divert them to something that doesn’t pay for itself. If the subsidizing never ends, there’s no telling how many jobs it can cost the private sector especially in their respective category of competition.
Lisa asks…
Has Hillary every had an ordinary job with a tough boss kicking her butt every morning?
She doesn’t know what ordinary work, the grind, is like month after month. She lives in a political bubble. Idealistic and out of touch, just like Obama. They don’t know, the imagine. But aren’t they really all out of touch? It doesn’t take long to forget when you make it to the sweet life. How is that any different from the Hollywood crowd. Out of touch and looking at the world through rose colored glasses. More, better, upward, jobs, day care, new cars, alternative energy and wisdom and a kinder, gentler country. Perfect.
The Expert answers:
I’m voting McCain, but I at least can give Hillary credit for all the sh1t she put up with to get her shot and then some weasel un-american punk comes along and steals it….thats gotta suck.
” Hi I’m black, inexperianced, have sh1t for judgment, and probably not even an american citizen, vote for me “, and the backstabbers did.
Lizzie asks…
Tell me what you guys think of this alternative energy plan..?
If its good please tell me how might i spread the word.. if it suck please be nice.. 🙁
and im not very good with my English grammar..
In my Physic class today my professor talks about energy.. he talk about how human stores their energy in form of fats, how the government built this one Dam (hoover dam) to help stimulate our economy in the great depression, and how we uses the river’s kinetic energy to power Las Vegas… and he talks about how energy is converted or moved and how much it get wasted(efficiency), when we buy gas only 25% of our money is actully being spend… I then stand in front of my Calculus class start seeing a hamster run in my head.. and then i start remembering how the bike machine in our gym uses no electricity, but uses our momentum to turn it self on then it rely on us to keep it on..
So this is my plan…
Why not have our president put up a job program where we get pay for exercising while generating energy…
like have us run on a treadmill as a JOB..
1. we get healthy
2. we get money
3. keep our economy strong
4. energy efficient (instead of wasting money going to gym they pay us)
5. many more advantages that i cant think of at the moment..
My friends told me this is a stupid idea.. and so i just wana see what everyone think.. the only thing i see that is bad about this is ppl might see this as slavery.. but we get pay for it.. so i dont think it matter.. and its a choice..
hm.. well if 1 person can generate that little energy why cant we have ALOT of ppl do it.. iono.. >.< ever since i think about this idea i think running is such a waste
The Expert answers:
I had thought of a gym model like this a few years ago, but not with the notions of paying people to generate power . There is actually a gym in Oregon who has something like this now. Keep in mind ,all people do not use food with the same efficiency ,not to mention ‘energy loss’ , meaning : the energy it takes to produce food, harvest, packaging , shipping..etc is Much higher than the power 1 person would generate on a bike in 4 hours ,No matter how fit they were. At a job like this only the fittest would be allowed to work=D . The body produces other things like Heat and sweat that can be used . A great green idea is to produce only things that something(someone) else can use up completely
I think the problem with your Idea is $ profit. Group of people were to grow and collect all their food & water , with the use of batteries they could generate the energy to power a laptop ,lights ,some small heating or cooling apps..etc. Understanding just a little about thermodynamics tells us that energy is only redirected ,never created(so far 😉 . The end of Cheap energy means finding new ways to use LESS power and use it more efficiently. Good Work,,Keep Thinking,
Jenny asks…
How much is Seven Billion dollars?
Oh, about the amount of dollars we export each year to OPEC…
We need to take the bail out money and invest in alternative energy and create jobs as well as keep dollars, here!
Excuse my typing – Question should read, How much is 700 billion dollars.
The Expert answers:
It is:
– $2300 for every man, woman, and child in the United States
– 5 times the total fortune of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett combined
– enough to fun the war in Iraq for about 6 years
