Why Buy The Man Made Global Warming Lie? I Mean Scam?

And I will keep my comments directed at the USA. We are, by far, the cleanest (to a fault) industrialized nation in the world. We have developed techniques that allow for the clean use of the dirtiest of fuels. And yet, we have folks that want to regress to a time when the only energy was fire and water. Could America attained such greatness without fossil fuels? Could we have fought and won two world wars? Or created a standard of living that is second to none? The answer is simply no. All of the things we take for granted is due to inexpensive fuels. From the variety of food and clothes that are found in our stores, to the terrific trifecta of transportation that allows us all to enjoy longer vacations, and more job opportunities: Planes trains and automobiles. Yup think wagons, horses, and balloons would provide the same ultra-convenient life style?

This is not to say we can’t incorporate wind,water, and solar power into our lives. Heck, I think all new homes should have solar panels. Nothing wrong with tossing a few windmills on the mountain tops. But it is societal suicide to suspend, or retard the use of fuels that helped build, and would take us beyond the already altitudinous standard of leaving we now have. We have more natural gas, and crude under our feet, than has ever been extracted from the entire planet to date. If we would develop the industry, we would be able to pay our national bills, with enough left over to appease the 53% of the population who likes to give crap away to those who don’t do crap to earn it. How is this not a win win, win situation?

What The Frack?

I see many a lib are all up in arms over the fracking. The benefits far out weigh the negatives. Then again, until we are riding bikes living in grass huts, they will never be happy!

MIT Report Finds fracking is Safe
x

Bookmark Last June, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued a 178-page report called “The Future of Natural Gas” (a copy of the full report is embedded below). Somehow this report escaped MDN’s notice at the time. Seeing that it’s conclusions are that hydraulic fracturing is safe, MDN understands why mainstream media outlets don’t endlessly promote it and quote from it as they do from journal articles penned by anti-drilling professors like Robert Howarth and Tony Ingraffea making outrageous claims like natural gas is worse for the environment than coal (see this MDN story).

The report is the fourth in a series of MIT reports examining the role of various energy sources that may be important for meeting future demand under carbon dioxide emissions constraints. In each case, as with this report, MIT looks at what is needed for energy sources to remain competitive if and when CO2 emissions are taxed. That is, how will this energy source stack up if there’s a price on carbon dioxide emissions.

Among the many interesting findings in the report are these:

With over 20,000 shale wells drilled in the last 10 years, the environmental record of shale gas development has for the most part been a good one — but it is important to recognize the inherent risks and the damage that can be caused by just one poor operation. (page 39)

The fracturing process itself poses minimal risk to the shallow groundwater zones that may exist in the upper portion of the wellbore. (page 40)

The physical realities of the fracturing process, combined with the lack of reports from the many wells to date of fracture fluid contamination of groundwater, supports the assertion that fracturing itself does not create environmental concerns. (page 41)

Mexico Company Drilling In The States

Bet ya did not know this. A friend of mine owns mineral right in Texas, and a few other states. The paper work he just recieved informed him that the company doing the drilling, is from Mexico!

News flash to Romney: Offer tax incentives and cash bonuses to American companies. Tell me this would not get him 15-20 million more votes. Then place a federal mandate keeping all of the oil, and gas, here in the states! Heck, I can beat Barry in a landslide on this alone.

The Government Tellin’ Me To Go Green? I Tell’em To Go To…..

The only green I am going is either the stuff that I get when I cash my check, or the stuff in my Red Solo Cup on st. Paddy’s Day!

America is the baddest ass nation the galaxy has ever known. Folks envy us so much, they break in! And then they use our laws to keep their free loading rears here! There are other great folks, who are willing to follow the rules, stand in line for years, just to be citizens.

And what has helped make us so wonderful you ask? Well it sure ain’t wind, solar, and butterfly power. It is good old fashion fossil fuels. Thank God that he allows dead plants and animals to turn into energy! That’s right. I put Dino and Barney in all my gas tanks. Yabba Fabba Doo, I love you crude!

This stuff, along with coal, and natural gas, has helped us kick every enemies ass, create the best medical facilities on the planet, the best food-producing industry ever, and it put friggin’ dudes on the moon. I sure did not see a solar panel, or wind mill, during any of the Lunar landings.

And now it is a fact, we have enough natural gas, to get us by for another couple of centuries, along with shale, and coal. And technology has advanced to the point that all this stuff is safe. Of course, some dirt and plants might be displaced, but I believe our current quality of life out weighs any of these minor disturbances.

Of course, this does not sit well for the folks who think that Waldon Pond should be a model to re-build our nation around. Even Emerson figured out that “That dog don’t hunt.”

Earthquake Japan: Western US Next

Geez, another quake and just a few days past the one year anniversary of the “big” one. I hate to say it, but this Hillbilly is predicting a large quake here along the Western Coast of the US in the next year. If I remember my geology class from college, when pressure is relieved in one area, it builds in another. My prayers are with these people.

A 6.8 magnitude earthquake rocked northeastern Japan today, causing the Japanese Meteorological Agency to issue a tsunami warning. It struck about 170 miles off the east coast. A spokesman for Tohoku Electric Power, which operates two nuclear power plants in the area, said they were unaffected.

The quake comes just three days after the one-year anniversary of that disaster, and on Sunday the cities of Japan were silent as families remembered the losses suffered in the disaster. Last year Google used their Street View cars to compile before and after pictures of the areas struck by the tsunami, and the results were staggering. As a good many people affected are still trying to pick up the pieces in the aftermath, many here in the states and beyond are offering prayers and thoughts to Japan.

Breitbart Assassinated?

Was it a hit??????

http://www.wnd.com/2012/03/michael-savage-was-breitbart-assassinated/

Noting that the cause of Andrew Breitbart’s unexpected death yesterday was being examined by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office, talk-radio host Michael Savage raised the question of whether the conservative media powerhouse – who recently announced he had videos that could politically damage President Obama – was murdered.

On his top-rated show today, Savage played an audio clip of Breitbart telling an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington last month that he had obtained videos that shed light on Obama’s ties to radicals in the early 1980s who helped propel him to the presidency
