A superb article at Forbes.com nails the question Al Gore can’t seem to address…

‘How can 86% of the (carbon-based) world energy mix be affordably replaced?’

By far, the cheapest source of energy for emerging nations is coal…and no amount of Inconvenient Blather from Al Gore or Chicken Little…err, Barack Obama changes that.

The only way wind or solar energy can grow is through huge government subsidies, or by making carbon-based energy so expensive it justifies alternative renewables.

Emerging nations can’t afford those solutions…to grow, they need cheap fuel.

But Forbes contributor David Blackmon forgets America has ‘Mr. Solution’…Barack Obama. So, when he ends his article with the simple question and/or conundrum:

“How do we replace 86% of the world’s energy mix without forcing everyone to live in abject poverty?”…then says no one has an answer, cue the ‘Equivocator-in-Chief’…

who steps to the mic…

…and simply redefines poverty.

Then (paraphrasing the Hanes Lady) says “you’re not poor ’til I say you’re poor.”

Problem solved…Obama-style.
