Scientific Obama…

Obama is announcing his energy and environmental picks, and proclaiming that  “my administration will value science, and decisions will be based on facts.”   If that were true,  he wouldn’t be talking about climate change, would he?

Obama said that national  security is linked to energy, and we have an addiction to foreign oil.  Both true,   yet neither he nor anyone he has chosen has any interest in maintaining,  let alone increasing, domestic production of oil and gas.

No,   His Oneness is going to bring us new forms of energy and a “new hybrid economy… with millions of jobs building winds farms, solar panels…”   He apparently doesn’t know that your average line worker in Detroit has none of the skills required for those jobs.

“The solution to global climate change must be global.”  Well, yeah, if you’re really going to do anything.  He mentioned that Sen. John Kerry had reported to him on the current climate conference abroad, but failed to include that most of the European Union said any Kyoto II would wreck their economies for decades.

Indeed, he has put together “a team of people uniquely suited… leading experts and accomplished managers” —  too bad only one of them knows anything about science, and his expertise is in alternative  energy.

For such an intelligent man, Obama seems to understand little about science or history.
