Tonko’s amendments are meaningless political speak.

power. But, he doesn;t generate enough to make the
TU presses run.

The United States has huge coal reserves that we
will need to tap, to run our railroads, factories
and heat our homes when oil becomes to costly or
not available at any price. That day is fast
approaching and could occur even sooner, if war
breaks out in the Middle East, interrupting the
crucial flow of oil to the U S. Major coordinated
terror attacks on the U S homeland could trigger
the same result.

President Obama and Paul promote battery operated
cars and trucks. This will require huge amounts of
coal for power plants to provide power to recharge
all those batteries.



At the same time Paul Tonko supports the Obama
cap and trade legislation that will result in huge
increases in electricity production costs which
will be passed along to consumers in their electric
bills.



The Obama-Tonko energy policies are convoluted and
not grounded in reality.

We are hooked on oil, til it runs out.
Better start gearing up for clean coal
use.

Fortunately, the U S has vast coal
reserves.

BLOWING IN THE WIND

Barack Hussain Obama and his lackey
Paul Tonko (CD21) tout green energy and
green jobs.

They are just blowing smoke.

Their policies will cause huge increases
in electricity costs for consumers and
increase unemployment far beyond
the current 10 percent.

America is blest with huge coal reserves.

To survive the energy crisis we are going
to have to promote use of clean coal for
power plants to supply us with constant
affordable electricity , to heat our homes
and, yes, to run our improved rail system
to move both freight and passengers.

Obama and Tonko are leading America
down the wrong road.

2010 and 2012 elections offer American
voters a last chance to avoid America
becoming a trainwreck.

TONKO PITCHES
CAP AND TRADE.

HIGHER ELECTRICITY
COSTS FOR YOU.

Congressman Paul Tonko spoke at the
Albany Public library yesterday:

http://blog.timesunion.com/nypotomac/tonko-pushes-greeen-energy-to-create-jobs-and-reduce-oil-imports/2378/

The American Clean Energy Act of 2010
is a rerun of last session's ACES legislation.

It is essentially a cap and trade measure
which would require power plants, fossil
fuel producers and other "capped" entities
to comply with mandatory government
emissions standards.

Consumers would see the cost of electricity
skyrocket as a result. Not acceptable in
these difficult economic times.

Hill Town Patriots -the feds will be coming
after your wood stoves and firewood.

Mark November 2 on your calendars.

Vote to cap Tonko.

SULLIVAN'S SOLUTIONS: ENERGY CRISIS

SULLIVAN'S SOLUTIONS: THE ENERGY CRISIS

SULLIVAN  ON ENERGY

 

SULLIVAN ON ENERGY

The oil crisis is real and it will get worse. Oil is the lifeblood of our economy and way of life.

Politicians in Washington and Albany are posturing, but doing little or nothing to provide the public with relief from the rapidly escalating costs of gasoline, diesel, home heating oil, natural gas and electricity.

These politicians have failed to take effective, immediate short run, and long term steps to deal with our energy crisis.

In the short term the public is on it's own. We must adapt our way of life to use less fuel, and other forms of energy. Driving less, car pooling, driving at slower speeds, keeping on vehicles in peak performance, lowering the thermostat in winter, insulating our homes, keep thermostats down in work places, schools and other public buildings, using less lighting in homes, shopping plazas  and public places and so. In a word conservation.

Transportation for organized sports at schools, colleges and  for professional sports will have to be curtailed or eliminated altogether.

At the same time we must demand that the Congress and state government stop the partisan posturing on the energy crisis and enact immediate, short term relief, and at the same time, take action to provide long term relief.

Short term, federal and state governments, must suspend collection of federal and state taxes on gasoline, diesel and home heating oil.

Congress and the state legislature must not adjourn this year without passing concrete legislation aimed at long term solutions to the energy crisis.

Congress should:

1. Authorize drilling for oil in Anwar and in offshore U.S waters,

2. Authorize rapid expansion of alternative energy production, including coal, water power and wind turbines, recognizing that it may be a decade or more before these alternative energy sources are on line.

2. Mandate that automakers make a crash program to produce vehicles that get 40 to 50, or more miles per gallon of gasoline. Note that electric or battery powered vehicles have a short range and may be an option in urban areas, but, in the vastness of our country, more MPG is the immediate need.

3. Improve repair and expansion of rail road building. Rail will eventually replace long haul trucking as a means of moving freight and automobiles for commuting to and from work.

4. Reform and shorten Congressional sessions and travel by adopting telecommuting as an alternative. Stream line legislative calendars, eliminate dead end legislation that is going nowhere, and amounts to political partisan grandstanding or posturing.

New York State should:

1. Take steps to expand and improve railroads for movement of freight and passengers.

2. Move quickly to restore the Erie Canal and Hudson River ( and port facilties) as  highways for transporting heavy freight. The building of the Erie Canal , put lots of people to work, and made New York The Empire State. 80 per cent of the state's population still resides along the Erie Canal-Hudson River corridor.

3. Reform and streamline the state legislature by adopting telecommuting, reduce needless and expensive travel and per diems, and limiting the length of sessions, introduction of legislation  and legislative session agendas to only meaningful bills that have sponsorship in both houses.

The above are but a few of the steps that should be considered for action, now, buy individuals, families, groups, institutions, state government and Congress.

Let's get cracking!
