Obama Issues Green Energy Executive Order<\/h1>\n

The “Imperial President” Obama. Who needs Congress when you have me? What you talkin’bout, government of the people by the people? I am King Dictator Messiah Barack! Hussein Rules! The Great One!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I guess the epic failure of Solyndra wasn\u2019t a prophetic incident the Obama administration took seriously. \u00a0He has doubled down on his miserable green energy initiative with a new executive order. \u00a0The Blaze took excerpts from Reuters on the president\u2019s announcement yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u2019Today, we are taking another step to strengthen American manufacturing by boosting energy efficiency for businesses across the nation,\u2019\u00a0said President Obama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018This action will cut costs, increase efficiency, and help our businesses create strong, middle class jobs. \u00a0We\u2019ll continue to do everything we can to put more people back to work and build an economy that lasts,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

The order, which aims to increase the number of cogeneration plants in the U.S. by 50 percent by 2020 and slash carbon emissions by 150 million tons per year, is the administration\u2019s latest effort to \u2018deploy cleaner and more efficient energy production in the country by working around political resistance to climate change and \u2018green\u2019 energy legislation on Capitol Hill,\u2019\u00a0Reuters reports<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, \u00a0\u201dthe order dictates that the Departments of Energy, Commerce, and Agriculture, and the Environmental Protection Agency coordinate their actions to provide \u201cpolicy and technical assistance\u201d to states in order to ensure energy efficiency targets are being met.\u00a0The order also \u2018establishes a new national goal of 40 gigawatts of new combined heat and power capacity by 2020, a 50% increase from today,\u2019 according to a statement from the\u00a0White House<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In all, \u201cmeeting this goal would save energy users $10 billion per year, result in $40 to $80 billion in new capital investment in manufacturing and other facilities that would create American jobs, and would reduce emissions equivalent to 25 million cars,\u2019 the statement adds.\u201d<\/p>\n

This order still puzzles me since former Biden economic adviser Jared Bernstein has stated that clean energy doesn\u2019t do much for job creation.<\/p>\n
