Energy Department Says It Has ‘Mandate’ To Force ‘Market Transformation’ For House Hold Appliances

Assistant Secretary of Energy Cathy Zoi said Thursday that the U.S. Department of Energy has a “mandate” to issue regulations to determine what household appliances are available to Americans in the future.

Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the recently reestablished Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB), Zoi pointed to four tactics the Obama administration intended use to advance the “deployment of clean energy.” The first three were government subsidies for private-sector green energy projects, special tax incentives for green energy projects and low-interest government-backed loans for green energy projects.

I wish we could get enough people in power who don't want to destroy America to make the energy department, department of education, and hundreds of other useless government agencies go away forever. I know it will never happen, but (I think) we still have a right to dream.

I can't remember her name being on a ballot...she "loves" being able to "issue regulations" and just do "market transformations"...aahhhh, don't need to worry about any laws, or elections, nothing so trivial as THAT. Just do whatever I think is right and you peasants better go along, or else we use some other powers no one actually gave us to make you sorry you didn't toe the line. Sounds like ANOTHER PUBLIC MASTER....how many of them do we have??? The supreme arrogance of these PUBLIC MASTERS is beyond belief. They don't even try to hide their intentions or their arrogance anymore. I hope that pitchforks and torches are on sale soon....we are gonna need a LOT of them.
