Environment and Climate Change

The run up in gasoline prices and pretty much everything else can be tracked back to environmentalist. No nuclear, can not drill for oil and now the GW hype are ruining the economy. How much more of this BS will people stand for before they get fed up with some environmentalist running their lives and running it into the ground.

Some people are fighting back, here is a link to someone who is fighting to save us from all this nonsense. He clearly debunks all the misinformation.

Greg Craven (wonderingmind42) here, the creator of “The Most Terrifying Video You’ll Ever See” and the ridiculously long follow-up project “How It All Ends.”

I think it is mis-information, politics, with a mix of paranoia. Examples include Al Gore's an inconvenient truth when he talked about carbon dioxide causing global warming in earth's history, when in reality global warming preceded increase carbon dioxide levels.

I wonder how things would be different if the environmentalist, Hollywood and Jane Fonda did not kill the nuclear power plant? In fact, I bet the above people were just dupes for the coal, oil and natural gas giants back then. I bet these guys were laughing all the way to the bank. Now instead of having a clean nuclear power based society, we have a planet where you can not breath the air and it is in a death spiral.

Because of our environmental concerns there is talk that OPEC is going to take the USA over. Here is how they say it is going to work.

1) Because we will not drill for out own oil we are vulnerable to outside oil suppliers.

2) OPEC and other countries that do not care about the environment are unrestricted in how much oil they can pull from the ground, but they are not increasing oil output to keep up with demand so as to drive prices up.

3) OPEC is shooting for $200.00 a barrel and if they can drive it higher, so much the better for them.

There is just this big debate about bio fuel.

But alone the higher efficiency of an electric vehicle can save much more fuel, than would be ever possible with bio fuel.

The Renault Kangoo make a compare easy, because availbale with gasoline, diesel, natural gas and plug-in hybrid electric version.

A CCPP can produce with natural gas as well as with diesel and gasoline 58% electricity out of the energy of the fuel.

The peak oil phenomenon is one facet of the coming crisis humanity is facing. There's really an interesting tension between this peak oil issue and the carbon buildup that's leading to climate change. If we're going to be running out of oil soon doesn't that affect the models of climate change?

Anyway I just listened to an interesting podcast interview on Living Green Effortlessly. She interviewed André Angelantoni, founder, Inspiring Green Leadership .. he has a coaching business working with businesses to redevelop themselves into a more sustainable mold which can survive decreased availability of oil.

He referred to a wikipedia page about Oil Megaprojects which shows that very soon, perhaps in 2011-12, there really will be a decline in oil production and it will be the first time oil demand outstrips supply.

Links are below.

Anyone know whats up with all the oil that is supposed to be under North Dakota? There is supposed to be quite a bit of oil still in the "Good Ole USA", might be as much as 500 billion barrels of oil under ND and the surrounding states. That would be nice if it is true, could go a long way to improving the whole gas situation.

Now is the time

As of today we are having an energy saving day, however this should be everyday.
In major cities such as San Francisco CA,they will be turning off major lights from buildings to bridges for one hour.
