Talk:Alternative energy (view source)
Revision as of 18:57, January 3, 2010
, 18:57, January 3, 2010ulterior motives of the left
We need to separate (1) an objective description from (2) the arguments used by advocates. Most advocacy of renewable energy comes from a place other than the prospect of exploiting limitless sources of energy. Rather, it's motivated by an implacable, but unreasoned, opposition to [[fossil fuels]]s.

*Alternative energy has been promoted by the left with heavy government subsidies primarily to reduce CO2 emissions and thus (it is hoped), reverse [[global warming]]. It also promises to reduce American dependence on oil from the Middle East and other unstable areas.
Are those their real reasons? Often the left engages in [[liberal deception|deception]]. Nothing is more common than to promote A to get B, while saying that A is good because it will lead to X or Y.
Does the left really think alternative energy will reverse global warming and reduce foreign energy dependence, or is there an ulterior motive? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:57, 3 January 2010 (EST)
