Shit You Can't Make Up: Bush to Lay Off Renewable Energy Researchers

We are asked to suffer the Secretary of Energy telling us within 24 hours that Bush lied in his speech about reducing Middle Eastern oil imports. We are asked to suffer oil-state Republicans who once gave away the oil under federal land but who are now tightwads when it comes to subsidizing other fuels.

And, now, we are asked to suffer this:

From today's NYT:


The Energy Department will begin laying off researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the next week or two because of cuts to its budget.

A veteran researcher said the staff had been told that the cuts would be concentrated among researchers in wind and biomass, which includes ethanol. Those are two of the technologies that Mr. Bush cited on Tuesday night as holding the promise to replace part of the nation's oil imports.

Good Lord if bush told me that the ocean off Nome Alaska was cold and dark @ midnight tonight I
would put on my swim trunks and sun screen.
