Blowing Smoke. Why the Hydrogen Economy Just Hit a Recession in the U.S.

Obama, Axelrod, Jarrett
I am sure some of you have seen the video of dumbo standing in the receiving line greeting the people getting off his own plane and you have heard all about the folks that, probably just minutes before were wiping powder from his upper lip, did not shake his hand.
But, who were those dignitaries anyway?
The Axelrod – Jarrett Energy Corporation.
That’s who.
American Secretary of Energy Steven Chu is cutting 100 million dollars from hydrogen fuel cell vehicle research. “We asked ourselves, ‘Is it likely in the next 10 or 15, 20 years that we will convert to a hydrogen car economy?’ The answer, we felt, was ‘no,’” said Chu.
Meanwhile Iceland has already successfully converted Reykjavik’s city bus fleet to hydrogen, is working on powering ships with hydrogen and is building hydrogen fueling stations around the country for future cars. The country’s new venture, SMART-H2, has partnered with DaimlerChrysler, Norsk Hydro, and Shell Hydrogen to work on development and marketing. Old man Rockefeller thought once, I am sure, “Hey. My buddy Henry Ford will have a whole bunch of these car things on the road in 10 or 20 years. I better plan to get them some gas.” Thinking that 20 years is not a long time worked out ok for him. But this group in DC is so short-sighted they could not see their feet if their toes were sticking out of their bippy.
They, the future billionaires who adopted the punk child we call president, don’t care if things GET better. They just want it to LOOK better while they get better gold-lined retirement parachutes for themselves. If you think the CTA, the largest fuel purchaser in Illinois, that Valerie Jarrett ran for ten years, is going to switch to no-carbon power then I have an island in Lake Michigan I want to sell you.
Obama’s payback to the Wall Street old-school energy investment-laden banks will come to haunt us when the rest of the world goes to the true energy future, hydrogen. Later I will get back to the crooks. But, for now, let’s talk about hydrogen – the Obama abandoned element.
Why is this element, which holds the top spot on the periodic table of elements, so important to the survival of this planet? Answer: It is a freedom loving radical that just won’t go away. It is the ultimate renewable. For example if you use hydrolysis to break water into hydrogen and oxygen and then burn the hydrogen, the exhaust is water vapor. Right back where you started.
Hydrogen, like most radicals, does not naturally exist by itself. But there is a problem associated with its use, and that problem has been Astroturfed to the ground. The story goes like this: To make hydrogen we need to expend more energy to pull it from its periodic friends than it gives us back when it is used to create power. Why then do we even consider this element? The answer is there is free power available. When the wind is blowing and the sun is shining use turbines and panels to create electricity that is used to make and store hydrogen. Why then don’t we make it a primary objective in our goal for energy independence and carbon footprint reduction?
Ask David Axelrod and Iranian born Valerie Jarrett’s former and future business clients. They did not see the hydrogen revolution coming and all their money is still in legacy energy. Coal and oil are getting billions in taxpayer giveaways in Obama’s 2010 budget and true alternative energy is getting the alternative – a slap in the face.
Here is a short file on one of Axelrod’s clients. Commonwealth Edison is the Illinois electric company once run by CEO Tom Ayers. I suppose that the inheritor of Tom’s vast stock holdings in that company, fire-cracker Bill, is enjoying the profits from his street thug Obama investment. Heck, this was easy. Ghost write a book for the boy, hook him up with some radical-turned-bought-off-elected figures, line him with Wall Street money and make promises to legacy energy companies (and their suppliers such as GE) that, like the NAFTA language, campaign promises are just that.
From the Axelrod diary: AF1. June 3.2009. Get the boys to write a confusing sans-Israel Muslim-centric speech for Barry that has the world press confused and occupied for at least a week while I meet with oil ministers to explain my new Astroturf campaign for building eco-nut support for higher oil prices. The first people to get off the president’s plane in Egypt were not finance, diplomatic or human rights representatives. The first folks that stepped out of our plane to meet the royal dictators was Axelrod and Jarrett – the tag-team currently unknown as the CEO and COO of the Board of America run company once known as the United States.
Jarrett sat on the board of USG who makes sheetrock in Mexico and used U.S. Government financial assistance (hmm – What’s that GM plan again?) to exit from an asbestos-triggered 2006 bankruptcy. Where does that gypsum plant get its power? No. Sorry. Solar is not the answer. At least she is not afraid to publicly use the same word for Obama that she used for Daley in the 1990s: He will “TAKE POWER AND BEGIN TO RULE.” At 27 seconds into this video clip.
Now. To get back on track. No. Sorry. Our editor in chief has suggested that our articles be short. Otherwise the bots will get confused when trying to decide which talking points they are supposed to use while spamming us. I will come back with more on the Eco-Terrorist oBOMBa in a later post. Hint. He has never lived outside of the concrete jungle so, since rivers, mountains, clean air and wild mammals were not mentioned in Bill Ayers’ “Dreams of my drunk pappy” book, they do not exist in his storybook world. And, if we get eight years of this joker in the Whitehouse, these messy nature things won’t exist anywhere in America either.
