Daily Dolt: John Laesch
Just make it stop:
John Laesch, of Yorkville, said he supports the carbon-free and nuclear-free plan put forth by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research at www.ieer.org. He said that while he is in agreement with Foster on several points, he disagrees that money should go to more research. Laesch believes the technology for environmentally conscious energy is already available.
Instead, he said, consumers should be given incentives to buy electric and hybrid cars, solar panels and wind turbines, or to hook up to public power grids. And Laesch said the government could easily afford such subsidies by reordering some priorities.
The ‘plan’ he links to is absurd.
1. This bans corn based ethanol. A position I agree with, but I’m not running in the 14th District.
2. This would require the retrofitting of all houses with gas heating and cooking.
Let me make this very simple. While we need to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions, we do not need no CO2 emissions. In fact, any reasonable energy plan will incorporate cleaner fuels like natural gas, especially since it is an accessible source for fuel cell hydrogen.
3 and Oh My God is John Laesch a fucking moron:
Adopt vigorous research, development, and pilot plant construction programs for technologies that could accelerate the elimination of CO, such as direct solar
hydrogen production (photosynthetic, photoelectrochemical, and other approaches), hot rock geothermal power, and integrated gasification combined cycle plants using biomass with a capacity to sequester the CO
The plan John likes so much includes more money for research because the technology is not developed.

Yet many local activists still love this clown.

Public administration and policy analysis seem to completely elude the guy.

You are a money whore. How many pieces of silver did it take to become a pawn of the corporatists and the blue dogs? It is kind of obvious when you see the Foster ad on the right. The research would only benefit the corporations, but not help implement real solutions. You have no credibility.

Does the irony that he endorsed a plan calling for further research into energy while being against it register?

So how much did Foster pay you?

It’s not hard to figure out–if you click on the Advertise Here link under the ad…the rates magically appear.
Do you have any substantive response to my pointing out that Laesch is completely clueless about the policies he advocates?

Answer would be no to that one Arch… Laesch supporters can be a little fanatic sometimes. I got accused of being paid in a diary of mine after I said I was a volunteer right in the beginning of the diary.

With the Durbin endorsement of Foster, let the countdown begin to when Laesch (or his fawning supporters) suggest the endorsement was “bought” begin.

Maybe Durbin just bought himself the office too…oh, wait, Durbin worked his way up the party…

Hey Arch, do you have any credibility left? I mean, Jay Footlik supporters say you don’t have any, Laesch supporters say you don’t have any, all the Illinois Reviewers say no credibility…
I’m kidding.
Maybe its time to show the world how Laesch feels about Abe Lincoln again?
