Clinton to Start $1 Billion Renewable Energy Fund

antifoidulus writes "ABC news is reporting that former President Bill Clinton has announced the creation of a $1 Billion investment fund devoted to renewable energy. This will be an investment fund as opposed to charity, and Clinton has said that 'The Green Fund would focus on reducing dependence on fossil fuels, creating jobs, lessening pollution and helping to reduce global warming, all while making a profit.' Former World Bank President James D. Wolfensohn will be managing the fund."

    How typical of a socialist to start pumping money into airy fairy 'long term solutions' instead of letting market forces sort it out.

    I suppose this counts as a troll but honestly, I am saving the libertarians so much time by writing it first. I should be considered a hero -- yet it is my destiny to be modded down :(

    This is all because my wife said that she would make breakfast, and she's making BAGUETTES for breakfast, not proper breakfast, and she's taking HOURS to do it so here I am sitting here really hungry wasting my morning waiting for these darn baguettes, it's freakin 10:45 ffs, WHERE IS MY BREAKFAST WOMAN???

    I was kind of hoping she would get finished while I am writing this but no... 10:46 and still I have had NOTHING TO EAT all day. The reason for this disaster is that I bought her a sandwich toaster a while ago and since then she won't do anything that doesn't involve a sandwich toaster, even though being Korean she is hardly in tune with the sandwich way of thinking, and so every bit of food in the house is now basically a flat asbestos-like sheet, lightly charred throughout and as dense as a neutron star.
