U.S. pushes for emissions cuts from China, developing nations

Two top Obama administration officials arrived Wednesday at the U.N.-sponsored climate talks that opened this week offering both diplomacy and a tough line: The United States is willing to be a full partner in fighting climate change, but the real problem is with China and the developing world. The day began with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. J… Continue

T. Boone Pickens: Move 18-Wheeler Fleet to Natural Gas

T. Boone Pickens made headlines in 2008 with his “Pickens Plan” for American energy independence. The plan, which consisted of a combination of wind farms and greater use of natural gas, was unveiled as crude oil prices reached an all time peak. At the time, natural gas prices were also reaching record highs. Both crude oil and natural gas prices later plummeted as the severity of the recession became apparent. While both crude oil and natural gas prices have recovered since the lows, natural g… Continue

New Buses Bring Silence to the Streets

Pickens is fond of saying "Electric power can't move an eighteen-wheeler." Well, maybe so, but it can, apparently, move a New York City bus. Read about the new hybrid buses that run on a turbine charging batteries that run the bus in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/07/nyregion/07bus.html?ref=nyregion Any New Yorker who has ridden a city bus might be forgiven for believing a banshee is buried under the… Continue

COMMITMENT!

Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incident… Continue

Climate Change Panic Attack Not a Reason for Legislation

My energy business stands to benefit significantly from "climate change" legislation such as Cap and Trade, but I am compelled to seek truth before personal interest. In my research over the years, I have found no evidence that climate change is the result of man's contribution of carbon dioxide or other gases. In fact, man’s contribution of “global warming gases” is minuscule compared to contributions from natural sources such as swamps and volcanoes. Geologists have established that ice size a… Continue

"Forget Politics, Think Economics"

Forget global warming, forget melting ice, forget rising seas, and forget smog-blanketed cities. But don't forget that the USA spends about $1 million per minute on foreign oil, $64 million per hour and more than $52 billion a year for Persian Gulf imports alone to feed its addiction for foreign oil. Don't forget we are paying for both sides of the war by helping to finance the enemy, while at the same time bearing the tremendous cost of the war to support their petro-oligarchs. Don't forget tha… Continue

Global Warming--Adaptation Suggestions--- higher dams, stilts. Mitigation is the BEST Solution to Global Warming though.

Let's start this out with California's Climate Change Adaptation Scheme: . . .

. . . With the World losing the battle against global warming so far, experts are warning that humans need to follow nature's example: Adapt or die. . That means elevating buildings, making taller and stronger dams and seawalls, rerouting water systems, restricting certain developments, changing farming practices and ultimately moving people, plants and animals out of harm's way. Adapting to rising… Continue

Global Warming is Eco-Terrorism. Are You Contributing to Global Warming? Is so, then you are an Eco-Terrorist

AMY GOODMAN: What is the burden of the melting glaciers? JOHN PERKINS: The melting—you know, I was in Tibet a couple of years ago, and I stood there with these nomads and looked at this glacier that had been down at the road a decade or so before, now it’s way back a mile away. And these glaciers up in the Himalayas feed the five largest rivers in the world. They provide water to China and to India. And as these glaciers melt, the water is drying up. The glaciers are melting because of global w… Continue

The struggle inside the Republican party - - back to true Republican principles - - doesn't seem to head in the right direction!

Let's face one MAJOR FACT: The reason why Obama got elected is MAINLY due to to the fact(s) that many Republicans and Republican industry leaders really screwed up, and did NOT abide by true Republican principles. When people get ripped off - - and they clearly see who is ripping them off, and when they have to pay the bill - - - they simply respond. Add to this McCaine's ignorance about environmental issues, and for many voters that left only one choice. And now, instead of taking action… Continue

Marcellus Shale

Recent estimates put the Marcellus Shale gas reserves at over 500 trillion cubic feet. Yes that's a lot... But getting it out may compromise water wells across NY and PA. It's a tough environmental choice - better to burn gas than coal, but at what price? You can read more at http://geology.com/articles/marcellus-shale.shtml. Continue
