RUSH: Harry in Portland, Oregon, great to have out program. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you. I\u2019ve been trying to get to you for years.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here you are. Your big show biz break.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. I wanted to challenge your thinking about alternative energy a little bit. I\u2019ll be 68 pretty soon. I started thinking about alternative energy in \u201965. Nowadays people call it “green energy,” and I don\u2019t like it, bad idea. Alternative energy means that you can buy a piece of property that\u2019s out in the country away from power lines, and you can have a home, you can have power, and you don\u2019t have to worry about paying thousands of dollars to get a power line brought to your house. You can be totally self-sufficient. I\u2019ve lived off the grid a couple of times in my life. The first two times there were no PV panels, so you did it with… You know, you used kerosene lanterns and wood stoves and wood heat, and it\u2019s comfortable. You have batteries for radios. But I boondocked for about five years which means living in a camper traveling around and you don\u2019t stay in RV parks. You just stay in the desert or wherever you want, and I had a PV panel on the top of the camper and kept our batteries pretty well charged up. You can have a small — probably for you would be very small — like a cabin in the woods or someplace, and you can provide about 90 to 95% of your needs with say a thousand watts of PV panel and a small wind charger. You have to have a battery bank, and you use a generator that runs on propane the same as your refrigerator, your stove, and your heat. You run your generator maybe once a week to pump some water and to top off your batteries and to do your laundry and then you shut it off again. So, there\u2019s a need for it. People —<\/p>\n
CALLER: I know. I know.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What the left means… If you want to live that way, that\u2019s absolutely fine. Just don\u2019t make me —<\/p>\n
CALLER: I understand.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And don\u2019t pass laws that make me have to live that way, and don\u2019t tell me I can\u2019t have my 14-foot TV screen if I\u2019m willing to pay for every aspect of it. But if you want to live that way, that\u2019s fine. The American left doesn\u2019t want me to have my 14-foot screen, nor anything else that I\u2019ve got. The American left wants to force a backwards, Twentieth Century, Nineteenth Century lifestyle on everybody under bogus, hoax concerns. <\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, I understand that. And I don\u2019t agree with that, either. I call myself a Christian Libertarian.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019ve been pretty much —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Actually the American left would not like you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: No.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Being “off the grid” they can\u2019t control you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s why I like to be off the grid.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I don\u2019t even have a computer. I worked for many years on a computer as a draftsman, electrical draftsman. I finally had to quit doing that because I have chronic migraines and staring at a computer really aggravates migraines. But anyway, I just wanted you to think about the fact that there is a place for what I call “alternative energy.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well…<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s just not a mainstream thing.<\/p>\n
RUSH: We\u2019re just talking about different definition of the term. Your “alternative energy” is not at all what Obama is talking about. Obama wants to put the coal energy out of business, for example. Obama wants everybody driving lawn mowers with a couple seats on top of \u2019em, or the equivalent. Obama and the Democrats want everybody losing their freedom and liberty to make the choice of how to live their life and green energy is just, you know, other diving board to get into that cesspool. That\u2019s all it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
