Why are Republicans afraid...?

Question

...of legislation concerning global warming and of legislation dealing with alternative energy sources? Don't say it's because of job losses, because we all know that as many jobs that are lost will be created in new areas of energy production.

Answer 1

Because they refuse to accept reality. They still will think global warming's will still be a myth by the time the North Pole becomes ice-free for the first time in 20,000 years, this fall.

As regards to alternative energy sources, they are simply--by definition--complete and *total* addicts to fossil fuels.

They can't envision what clean energy is like--because it's not in their general nature.

It's like garlic being given to a vampire.

Answer 2

It's the fear of moving forward. Look at McCain. It's the year 2008, technology is off the charts and I'd say the majority of the US citizens have a computer in their homes. He admitted he knows nothing about them. My husbands grandmother is 85 and even she figured it out! She's always e-mailing me stuff and she has her whole geneology research organized on her PC. I think if he wants to be president, he needs to educate himself on some of these basic 'ways of the world'.

It boils down to change. It scares them and they don't want it. I'm not talking about Obama change, I'm talking about your good old run of the mill change.

Answer 3

Because it would cause burdens for and cost money from the big business cronies they are so closely intimate with.

Answer 4

Post traumatic guilt syndrome.

Answer 5

really, well i will happily give you Obama for $1.29 a gallon gasoline, but you can't raise my personal taxes in the process. you want alternative fuels? what is your current college major in? does it have anything to due any alternative energy source? I didn't think so. your just like the republicans in that your only concern is for yourself, you just want a democrat to dictate alternative fuels, and the handout of tax breaks for you to purchase the means to utilize them, as opposed to the breaks for major companies who are truly trying to discover viable means for alternative fuels. so who is the selfish one?

Answer 6

We're just afraid of the crash when pseudoscience meets political correctness.

Answer 7

It's really the democrats that don't want to move ahead with "true" alternative "independent"(keyword) energy production sources. They lose more of their antiquated socialistic control. Wake up man.

The back of socialism has to be broken through "True Freedom and Independence" before the people will ever truly unite.

What's so hard about this for people to understand?

Answer 8

Global warming is based on junk science. We have legislation every year for alternative energy. We've been doing that since the early 70's.

Answer 9

REPUBLICANS HAVE THAT OIL POWER
