Carter: Energy Problems Will Again Test America

[MikeofWyoming]

I like how Democrats point out the obvious and they get hailed as geniuses. Al Gore gets a Nobel peace prize for telling the world what it knew for 30 years? What next, Nanci Peloci getting one for warning California that an earthquake will hit Sanfrancisco?

[rightdemocrat]

Former President Carter is right. America is far too reliant on foreign oil. We need to expand nuclear power and develop alternative sources like wind and solar. Attaining energy independence must be a national goal.

@rightdemocrat

I Think the government should get out of the energy business.

[blkconservativ]

jimmy carter is the last one to be lecturing anyone about the nation and energy problems when he was the president known for gas rationing, recessions, inflation and energy problems. it took reagan to get us out of jimmy carter's mess. obama is the return of jimmy carter. history repeats itself. i wonder if there's someone out there that's going to get us out of obama's mess?

[browbill]

The U.S. fell off of peak oil in the 70's. It would not have mattered who was in office, that crisis was already in the pipeline. Anyone who was in the oval office at the time would have been blamed.

1st to call the 1st poster an asshole

[wideawake123]

Carter needs to stop talking. The fact that AP thinks he's relevant tells me we're in big trouble. Obama is Carter on Roids. We're headed for double digit unemployment and inflation. Regardless of what a Lib. might say, This Is Obama's Economy Now. He's wasted TRILLIONS, and just sent 100 Billion more to Geitner's old bosses, the IMF while they sell off their gold to China. Guess what China's using to Buy that gold with? American $s. Keep printing that money Geitner, it's noble work your doing.

Battery technology is key to an energy revolution, Solar panels have reached $1<watt panels by GE, check out my solar generator video!

[Zeldovich]

Carter was perhaps the best president of the US.

[MulcheArcade]

i agree

[IslandHermit]

He was a good president, but he made lots of mistakes. FDR and Truman were better presidents, IMO.

He may very well be the best ex-president the US has ever had, though. I can't think of any other which has had such a positive impact on the world after leaving office.

[MikeofWyoming]

Yeh, after he left office. What did he do for america when he served as presedent?...It was after he left that he decided to start doing something but despite it all he at least did a lot of good things.

[Zeldovich]

He appointed Paul Volcker to the Fed to reverse the Philip's curve-based monetary policy and get inflation under control in the early 80s, he helped implement demand-side energy regulation that had the US almost entirely free of Persian Gulf oil in 1986 (then Reagan reversed them), he gave the Panama Canal back to Panama, he negotiated Egypt-Israeli peace,... How's that?

[MikeofWyoming]

Pretty good. I asked a question and you answered it. However, the problem is that nothing he did stands out to the average Joe...or Mike.

[Zeldovich]

If getting the double-digit inflation under control isn't good enough, then what can one say? The avereage Joe is an idiot.

[MikeofWyoming]

Condisending as your comment is I have to agree with you. We live in an age where a candidate can raise enough money to purchace two channels on Dish an Direct tv. Completly saturate the media with ads (and video games). No disrespect to our dear leader, but I think their needs to be a limit to campain spending. The American "Joe" is just too easily dazzeled.

[nikkiepping]

He like to have killed USA during his leadership. He's under the One World Order plan. God save us...they have lead us down a path of destruction. What sheep we are.

[Zeldovich]

You are a pawn of al Qaida.

[Nictusempra]

Care to go into any specifics on this?

At all?

I'm not being sarcastic; I always here people throw out these conspiracy theories but requests for evidence always just lead to lazy "check the evidence for yourself" paranoia.

So, do tell.

[rjanis123]

part one of an appropriate reply

first .. the word you meant to use was "hear" not "here"

but.. specifics?

Al Haig, and Henry Kissinger wrote a paper, on global depopulation... look for it, find the exact text... it was written for Global 2000. a group that Carter was very involved with publicly..among its suggestions for decreasing what some of the elite call "surplus population" it argues disease, over war, and both being more effective than birth control... to be continued..

[rjanis123]

part two

Global 2000 answered almost directly to "The Club of Rome" an openly supportive arm of The Illuminati. .. sorry you asked for specifics .. I gave you what I had .. now..

IMHO .. much like our current president who many say is a CFR puppet.. I don't blame Carter, nor Obama.. both were, or will become great presidents facing great adversity,

I believe their hearts, and intentions are good, I only blame them of naivety..., just my opinions, and some facts that seemed pertinent.

Peace :):)

Obama's just making sure he finishes the job as quickly as possible. By the time congress breaks this summer, it will be over. Barack Obama is brilliant...Too bad he's the "Anti-Thomas Jefferson". In the 1st 6 months of his Administration, he will have undone everything our fore-fathers did to make us great. ^ months to wreck a Nation. Brilliant.

[nikkiepping]

It was started way before Obama took office...He is the one to finish up the job. All in the plans for a one world order. God save us...

[wideawake123]

As I said:"...This Is Obama's Economy Now. He's wasted TRILLIONS, and just sent 100Billion more to Geitner's old bosses, the IMF while they sell off their gold to China. Guess what China's using to Buy that gold with? American $s" China is doing what is known as selling off their position. Trading paper(US $s) for Commodities(Gold). China's purchasing the 3rd largest gold stash with the $ Geitner is printing...basically we're Fucked. Keep printing that money Geitner, it's noble work your doing.
