The Obama Administration is continuing to spend money on foolish energy policies.
Global Warming By Another Name. Obama's clean energy boondoggle will be expensive for America. President Barack Obama uttered not a peep about global warming in his State of Union this year. No dire warnings about climate apocalypse. No calls for cap-and-trade. Has this cold winter convinced him to put his global warming agenda on ice?
Hardly. Indeed, even in this age of deficits and debt, the president’s budget is chock full of global warming items—except he wraps them around a new cause: clean energy.
And that may be enough to get Republicans to sign on.
That "clean energy" is code for "anti-warming" is obvious, given that even Environmental Protection Agency numbers show that virtually all emissions have dropped dramatically in recent decades—except for greenhouse gases.
To cut those, Obama's budget aims to hike Department of Energy spending by 12 percent from 2010 levels. He proposes $8 billion more for various clean-energy programs—on top of the $30 billion "invested" via the 2009 stimulus. Even that's only the tip of the iceberg.

North dakotans have been patting themselves on the back for not partaking in the recession and balancing their state budget. Obamba will have something to say about this unwarranted prosperity. Just like the gulf oil production was shut down, North Dakota's oil fields are poised to be shut down. The EPA, to be sure, is scrutinizing very closely the "fracking" and just how they can politically shut this success story down.
