Not all green projects are good for nation

Publication: The Day
I found the editorial titled "Sacrificing green jobs to mask budgetary failure," published Feb. 6, very interesting. Evidently, The Day is very green oriented, taking the position that this is a cause for which cost should not matter.
We are in a recession and the spending for green projects is costing the Connecticut taxpayers billions of dollars. Plus, global warming is a fraud. Global warming is a lot of "hot air." The green tree huggers are lying to the American people by hiding facts, destroying research papers and deleting e-mails that prove their theory is false. Here are a few facts:
• Windmills and solar panels only produce energy 25 percent to 35 percent of the time. A back-up system is needed for both products.
• All new products to produce energy will cost billions of dollars, to be subsidized by taxpayers.
• The Green Party helped close nuclear plants. Now we need them. President Obama now supports nuclear plants, but in the past he said he is not a nuclear energy proponent.
• The green movement is one of the biggest special-interest groups in the world.
• Not all green projects are good for America
