Obama Praises Renewable Energy

President Obama has said on numerous occasions that he does not want to run banks, nor does he want to be an automaker CEO.

But perhaps he would like to get into the construction business?

The president on Thursday met with executives from a handful of businesses, nearly all of which help other companies save money through energy efficiencies.

"Energy is one of the pillars of this new (economic) foundation," Mr. Obama said after the meeting. "Even as we face tough economic times, the CEO's here told me they're looking to hire new people. In some cases, even double or triple over the next few years. These companies are the vivid example of some kind of future we can create."

Mr. Obama was about to end his brief remarks when he felt compelled to return to the podium to sing the virtues of energy-efficient construction. He ran through a list of ways to save money with new innovations: "Everything from LED lighting that can save a huge amount on energy costs, to new concrete materials that last longer... that are water-proofed from the inside out..."

The nation, he said, has not done enough to create a clean energy economy.

"What these folks are all about is the future," Mr. Obama said, referring to the executives.

And just as he said his push for new light bulb standards will start at the White House, the president said he would make use of his guests' talents at the White House.

He said he was "just talking to (Energy) Secretary Chu about how he is going to consult with these outstanding folks to figure out how we can improve energy efficiency here."

Earlier today, new government reports showed that 467,000 jobs were lost in June, which is more than what was expected. The unemployment rate was tagged at 9.5 percent, a 26-year high.

The president said today he is "confident we're not only going to recover but we're going to prosper in the long term."

Instead of nuclear energy, Obama wants Goldman Sucks and JP Morgan to tax human-beings for...'being' under this carbon-default swap scam.

CBS, why do you miss the point? Did you even listen to Obama's speech, look at the recent energy bill, or do any sort of research on the topic?

* "Obama Praises Renewable Energy" = wrong title. He talked about saving energy, creating energy jobs, creating renewable energy, and creating longer lasting products. Renewables are one aspect of a larger move toward a sustainable and local energy economy in the US. Not to mention that the article has not even a hint of the previous statements on the energy topic. Where's our journalism? Where's the added value in the article?
* "President Obama has said on numerous occasions that he does not want to run banks, nor does he want to be an automaker CEO. But perhaps he would like to get into the construction business?" - Are you a professional journalist?

I would like to see us develop cellulose biofuels ASAP. People can convert their cars to run on E85 for a few hundred dollars. This would reduce oil imports immensely.

If GAGUT is as correct as it seems to be, then it is the solution not only to the renewable energy problem, but also to the entire United States (and global) economic problems. This is based on my noticing that the two equations that were listed, along with the GAGUT equation, in kraus' comment were discovered by Newton and Einstein respectively at times when there were global economic crisis like the one that we have right now. Newton (appointed as the Master of the Royal Mint) and Einstein used their respective formulas to help solve the global economic crisis during those times. If Newton's and Einstein's equations originated out of the GAGUT equation then we should try using the GAGUT equation to tackle our current economic crisis.

STOP THE GALILEO TYPE OPPOSITION TO GAGUT!!!





GAGUT:





G ij,j = 0


GOD ORDAINED PROF. G. OYIBO AS THE GREATEST GENIUS THROUGH THE GOD ALMIGHTY?S GRAND UNIFIED

THEOREM (GAGUT) OF EVERYTHING , REVEALED (1990) BY GOD TO PROF. G. OYIBO THAT PROVED THE

FOLLOWING RADICAL TRUTHS:


? GOD EXISTS AS THE ONE UNBOUNDED SPACE OF INTELLIGENCE CALLED THE UNIVERSE THAT CANNOT

EXPAND.


? AFRICROGEN (AFRICA THE ORIGIN), THE RIGHT NAME FOR HYDROGEN (HIDE THE ORIGIN) IS THE ONLY

ELEMENT (NOT 118 ELEMENTS AS BELIEVED CURRENTLY).


? G ij,j = 0 IS THE ONLY ONE CORRECT EQUATION (NOT INFINITE NUMBER OF EQUATIONS AS BELIEVED

CURRENTLY) IN MATH AND ALL KNOWLEDGE.


JOIN HARVARD UNIVERSITY BY DEMANDING THAT ALL EDUCATION BE REVISED TO ALLOW THE STUDYING

OF GAGUT JUST AS EDUCATION WAS REVISED TO ALLOW THE STUDYING OF SUN (NOT EARTH) AS THE

CENTER OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM (RADICAL TRUTH) DISCOVERED BY COPERNICUS, AND PROPAGATED BY

GALILEO AND OTHERS. CALL OFAPPIT INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR T-SHIRTS, BOOKS, AND COURSES

LEARN AND TEACH THE ONLY REAL TRUTH CALLED GOD ALMIGHTY?S GRAND UNIFIED THEOREM (GAGUT),

G ij,j = 0, THE ONLY ONE CORRECT EQUATION FOR EVERYTHING, PAST,

PRESENT AND FUTURE (NOT UNCOUNTABLE NUMBER OF EQUATIONS AS BELIEVED CURRENTLY).


? NEWTON HAS PROVED THAT GRAVITY IS CONSERVED THROUGH

TRANSFORMATION GIVEN BY:

G m1m2 - Fr2 = 0


? EINSTEIN HAS PROVED THAT MASS IS CONSERVED THROUGH

TRANSFORMATION GIVEN BY:

MC2 - E =0


? OYIBO HAS PROVED THAT GOD AND EVERYTHING (NOT JUST GRAVITY

AND MASS) IS CONSERVED THROUGH TRANSFORMATION GIVEN BY:

G ij,j = 0

? GAGUT HENCE IS THE ONE AND ONLY CORRECT UNIVERSAL EQUATION

AND LAW THAT SHOULD BE STUDIED BY EVERY ONE.


? GAGUT CONSTITUTES A RADICAL REVOLUTION OF EDUCATION AND

KNOWLEDGE.

? OPPOSITIONS AGAINST GAGUT?S RADICAL REVOLUTION ARE CURRENTLY VERY STRONG AND SIMILAR TO

THE OPPOSITIONS AGAINST DISCOVERY OF SUN (NOT EARTH) AS THE CENTER OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

(RADICAL TRUTH) BY COPERNICUS AND PROPAGATED BY GALILEO.

GAGUT being the knowledge of everything or truth constitutes an ideal tool with which to deal with difficult human problems like the United States economic crisis.

I see the talking points from everyone, Van Jones one of the White House energy czars, Jarad Bernstein the V.P.'s economist (spinmeister) this morning on Bloomberg, now Obama on on the same "green job's" talking points. Well, I'm sure this rhetoric will make Jeff Immelt happy as the chairman of G.E. and on the Presidents Economic team(no conflict there!!) , it won't do much for economic growth. The unread stimulus package may offer green shoots to the sycophants,but most legitimate economists saw this as a spending bill not a stimulus bill. Soon, this administration will be requesting a second "stimulus" bill, I only hope the media does it's job this time and allows the American people to understand the incredible damage being done by Obama and this grand experiment.

"Grand experiment" shares the word "Grand" with GOD ALMIGHTY's "GRAND" UNIFIED THEOREM (GAGUT). "Grand experiment" can be risky if the ideas and concepts behind the experiment are weak and unreliable. The same logic can be used to conclude that GAGUT can be a risk if it is not proven. The renewable energy concepts like the solar energy technologies have been proven already on the market. GAGUT has similarly been proven to be perfectly correct. The renewable energy experiment by the US government is therefore reasonably safe. Human systems tend to be afraid of change in general. That appears to be the basis of the oppositions to GAGUT and the renewable energy concepts.



The Royal Society, the oldest science society in Europe, for example can understands the urgent need to get GAGUT into the classrooms of all education institutions globally. Sir Isaac Newton, the first president (or one of the first presidents) of the Royal Society, badly needed the Royal Society to publish his revolutionary discoveries because those discoveries contradicted the prevailing scientific understanding during the time. The Royal Society and Sir Isaac Newton were seriously challenged and disliked by the distinguished scientists of the day, as a result of that publication of Newton's discovery. However The Royal Society along with Sir Isaac Newton were celebrated eventually when Newton's discoveries were understood to be correct. Michael Faraday and James Maxwell had a similar experience like Newton during their discovery of electromagnetism. They were also celebrated eventually, when the public at large began understanding electromagnetism. One can cite many similar examples of challenges encountered by institutions like the Royal Society during the process of introducing revolutionary ideas and discoveries into the classrooms and society at large. GAGUT has unified the discoveries of Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Gauss, Einstein and others, and therefore has to be righteous and correct on the basis of the righteousness and correctness of the discoveries of Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Gauss, Einstein and others. The Royal Society, other societies as well as the media therefore can help introduce GAGUT into classrooms, just like it was accomplished with the discoveries of Newton and others. The Royal Society, other societies as well as the media and anyone else can also challenge GAGUT if necessary as GAGUT is offering a thousand dollars to any human being that can disprove GAGUT. If however there are no such challenges to GAGUT, CBS and other media can do special shows on GAGUT urgently.

I am very delighted and also further reassured to see that after one full week of the OFAPPIT Institute of Technology offering a prize of one thousand dollars to any human being that can dispute GAGUT, no one has posted even an attempt at disproving the GAGUT discovery so far
