Why does anyone listen to liberals? Part 1 - Energy

The environmentalists say we can't build damns to produce hydro-electric power.

Tree huggers won't let us drill for oil in ANWR.

Hippies chant, "No new refineries!" They say that oil companies are evil while ignoring the fact that oil companies have a fiduciary responsibility to make a profit to pay shareholders and to keep people employed.

Soccer moms (with the uninformed stereotype intended) say, "Not in my back yard!" in regards to nuclear power stations.

We know these people are wrong so why do we listen to them? Is it to shut up their annoying voices? In any event, we are paying for their mistakes at the gas pump and for increased energy costs this winter. Just thought that would make you feel warm and cozy.

Conserve energy - shout down a hippie!
