The Democrats’ ‘Smart Power’ Lies in Ruins | National Review Online.
…They looked out at the world at the end of the Bush years, and didn’t see tough decisions, unsolvable problems, unstable institutions, restless populations, technology enabling the impulse to destabilize existing institutions, evil men hungry for more power, and difficult trade-offs. No, our problems and challengers were just a matter of the previous hands running U.S. foreign policy not being smart enough.
I can’t help thinking there’s lesson for the “smart power” of Boulder Municipalization here too. Somehow they are smart enought to do green energy better than all of these European countries that are backing off due to expense.
Better think twice Boulder Muni supporters. You won’t always have a Democratic controlled legislature to provide cover with unrealistic green energy goals.
