Obama Energy Secretary Chu: I don’t own a car

Obama Energy Secretary Chu: “I don’t own a car at the moment.” Could be part of the reason why he doesn’t give a flying fornication how much gas costs. BTW, he thinks the Volt is really swell – expert advice from the guy who doesn’t own a car at the moment.

  • If he likes the volt so much, how about we give him one and have him pick up his relatives from the airport in it! That is if he can make it there before it needs to be recharged!
    Seating Capacity 4
    Cargo Volume 10.6 ft³
    That's 4-1/4' wide by 2-1/2' high by 1' deep, or about the size of 2 golf bags.
    Not what you can pick up 3 people and luggage with.

  • Scientists, particularly good scientists make really lousy bureaucrats. If Einstein had been in charge of the atomic bomb, he would have dropped it on Cleveland.

  • All you need to know about the stupidity of the Nobel Prize committees is that this guy won one. Every time he talks, he says something stupid. Remember when he wanted to paint roof tops black (or was it white)? Never mind how much time, money, and energy it would take to produce the paint and paint a world's worth of roofs...

    • It was white, to reflect the heat of global warming, and keep air conditioning use down. I guess it doesn't matter now, with so many roofs. covered with so much snow, courtesy of global warming.

      Two mornings ago, I stepped outside early in the morning, and there was ICE, falling out of the sky! Not so out of the ordinary, except for the fact that I live in San Deigo!

    • Yea and Jerry "Chu Chu" Brown our governor clown is right there with him..I don't think Jerry owns a car anymore either..Jerry and his boyfriend and their dog just walk around Sacramento, sometimes standing on a street corner with a sign, "Will trade integrity for train fare".....

      • Last time he was governor, he took pride in turning down the limo, and driving around in his own Dodge Dart. Seemed like some kind of publicity stunt to me.

        • It was, The CHP guys drive him around as well as provide security...He is a hypocrite of the first order.

  • Chu actually has a car that uses no energy that simply uses mind control to operate . The car is actually a horse drawn carrage that requires a pure green mind to actually see . The horses are in truth , mice that use very little energy and expend very little enery , so those that are greenies can marvel at the great wonder of the great green industry . Just like the horses , you can only see the mice is you have a pure green mind .

    Those of us that live in the non-fantasy world , know that mice , though cute in a mouse sorta way , are best defined as commensal rodents . Commensal pest are those that absolutely depend on others for their food . They give no actual benefit , or thanks for that matter , to those the food comes from . They mess up most of the time , don't cleanup after themselves , breed alot and spend most of their time trying to figure out where food can be taken . It would be nice to say that they save up for another day , but I would be a liar . They are cute though.

    To live in a pretend world or live in a real world . Living in the real world takes real time , real effort and real thought . The pretend world of the Pagan Left ( different than the Pagan Right ) dream dreams based on other people's dreams . Ideas that have never worked , will never work , because of the Laws of God , will never run out of those that dream of the days that one day pretend will rule . In the end , the joke WILL be on them .

    How does Chu get from point "A" to point "B" ? Most likely off the efforts of others . Why work on energy cost , when you never pay for it yourself ?

  • You can't make this Stuff Up- Does he Bicycle to Work or have a Driver- ?
    Al Gore Talked About SAVING THE EARTH While his huge SUV was outside Waiting for him . . .. What a Egg head.
