Depends on whether you're talking to Harry Reid, Barack Obama, Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi
2) which party is over-populated by no-Growth/environmentalist wacko wingnuts that have had to be accomodated for decades?
The Democratic Party.
However, in fairness to them, the Republicans have done nothing to change or solve the problem when they've had the power to, and it was Republican Richard Nixon who created the EPA in the first place, the source of most of these problems.
3) which party most needs to drive up the marginal cost of energy IOT to make its "a long ways" from economically viable alternative energy sources competitive?
See above.
4) which party has pushed hardest on assinine technologies (from an energy balance perspective) like gasohol?
The Democratic Party. They're displaying the scratch my back and I'll scratch yours attitude, as evident with GE's sweetheart deals and lack of paying taxes. All to the detriment of the American people.
Their push for ethanol has screwed farmers as well as the American public by driving up the price of corn, which has adversely altered the prices of many other things.
5) which party works hardest to prevent development of conventional domestic energy resources?
Honestly? Neither. It is because of the EPA and lobbyists that things are where they are now.
Sure, the EPA is hugely backed by the Democratic Party, but this is another example of the Republicans also failing to do anything with the opportunities they have been given over the years.
6) which party wants higher energy prices for more tax revenue to satisfy its insatiable appetite for more and more spending?
The Democratic Party. In fairness though, both parties suck and have an insatiable appetite for spending, they just pursue different avenues to achieve their goals.
The biggest difference between how Democrats and Republicans achieve their spending goals, is that the Republicans do it blatantly and don't try to hide everything they do. The Democrats like to hide and mask everything as a "benefit" to us, because they believe they can handle our money better than we can. For years, they have gone into spending by burying it in bills and riders on other bills, and by raising fees as a cover for raising taxes.
7) which party has been singularly adept at trumping rhetoric over results? clean coal anyone? what a bunch of f'ing, lying incompetents Biden and the rest have proven to be.
You said it all with this one, and I agree 100%.
Who is to blame...you ask?
A completely uninformed, disinterested, rhetoric bound electorate that falls for the malarkey the redistributionist collectivists now in power push....as jobs continue to move over-seas.
It's obvious both parties suck. Anyone who can't admit that is a fool. Both sides are crooked and weak, they just go about screwing us from different angles.
Without Tort Reform, jobs will continue to go overseas. Democrats will never allow Tort Reform to happen though, because Tort Law is how most of them made their names/money.
Jobs going overseas has nothing to do with energy or taxes. If that's what you were implying, you are way off base on that assumption. Frivolous lawsuits that are being allowed due to a lack of Tort Reform is the only reason jobs are leaving.
