Aren't YOU p----d off to the hilt, yet?

The same people we just bailed out with our tax money playing their dishonest games on the market, causing gasoline prices to rise artificially!

Ever listen to Lee Iacocca?

"Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our… Continue

Re.: Passage of the energy bill: TOTAL PROOF THAT MONEY CAN BUY EVERYTHING!

We all received letters and E-mails from Steve Bouchard of Repower America.

So, I sent him a reply to his most recent E-mail that claimed the energy bill as a historic success.

Steve Bouchard:

Even though better than nothing, the passage of this bill - - not very impressive - - only shows one major thing, NAMELY HOW CORRUPT CONGRESS IS, AND THAT MONEY BUYS EVERYTHING. Just two examples:

1) Don't I recall Repower America telling us that there is no such… Continue

A personal letter to President Obama.

If the legislation regarding energy/environment, pending in Congress, is passed, we are not only seeing our Congress paid off and influenced by special (coal) interests, BUT ACCORDING TO AN OXFORD UNIVERSITY STUDY - - LA Times, OP-ED section, June 25, 09 - - shows that, with recent CO2 production levels, and CO2 increases in the near future, "that we have a 90% chance of undoing the conditions on Earth that allowed and supported the development of human civilization."

YES, it… Continue

Even MORE about "A NATIONAL SHAME," Washington caving in to, and paying off, the coal industry.

OUR OWN EPA CONCLUDES: "if the emissions limits go into effect, the US would use more carbon-dioxide-heavy coal in 2020 than it did in 2005."

Please check out previous posts:

The coal problem by the numbers, CLICK HERE, showing that coal usage must be decreased, instead of increased.

Washington caving in to coal,… Continue

THE COAL PROBLEM BY THE NUMBERS. More about A NATIONAL SHAME, Washington selling out to coal BIG-TIME.

The coal problem by the numbers Please copy and forward to your government representatives. WE NEED TO RAISE HELL ABOUT THIS! Are our government representatives nothing but special-interest dominated ignoramuses? CLICK HERE to view previous post.

President Obama is staying very remote from the energy legislation discussions in Congress; he obviously knows what is going on. Why can't he… Continue

A NATIONAL SHAME: Washington selling out to coal BIG-TIME; spear-headed by Democrats in the house and coal industry $$$.

CO2 excesses cause climate change; no question about that! In addition, there is "ultrafine particle pollution" that has a devastating effect not only on heart, but also on brain, lungs, and fetal development.

The centerpiece in a 200-page legislative package (News releases June 21, 09) is to allow the coal industry to actually increase coal usage. Washington is doing this to get support from Congressional Democrats from coal-dependent areas, including Henry Waxman,… Continue

Detroit Electric to be key in building electric cars in China - - - not in the US!

W. D. Chance published an important news item in a discussion group. It deserves more attention.

Wuhan, China, June 19 - Detroit Electric Holdings Ltd and Donfeng Motor Company announced today that the two companies will work together to research, develop, market and sell Pure Electric Vehicles (PEVs) in China using Detroit Electric’s advanced electric drive technology. CLICK HERE for… Continue

Please do not overlook Washington caving in on coal - - - strip-mining, total environmental destruction!

Visualize a big mountain, overgrown by a forest of thousands of trees!

Now clear-cut the forest, then blow the top off the mountain, and dump the debris into stream beds. This turns forests into moonscapes, pollutes the air with coal and rock dust, and poisons water supplies!

Coal strip mining, including the destruction of thousands of trees, is an environmental disaster. Is it because union members are doing the destruction that Washington is supporting it?… Continue

Back to politics as usual? Democrats (spear-headed by Rep. Nick Rahall, D-WVa.) caving in to coal $$$s, destroying our environment!

Visualize a big mountain, overgrown by a forest of thousands of trees!

Now clear-cut the forest, then blow the top off the mountain, and dump the debris into stream beds. This turns forests into moonscapes, pollutes the air with coal and rock dust, and poisons water supplies!

This alone is an environmental disaster - - - it's called COAL MINING; strip-mining what is under the mountain!

Last week the Washington administration sent a letter to coal industry… Continue

Improving our environment will bring Benefits and Rewards for your health and longevity!

Strangely enough some comments - - most likely from special interests in the polluting industry - - suggested that the new energy/environment technologies may harm our health in the long run.

Nothing is further from the truth!

A cleaner environment, which also includes practicing conservation by driving less and walking/jogging more, is an essential requirement for a healthier and longer life! Then you follow up by working with an anti-aging medical doctor, and replacing… Continue

If you needed a new car, which one - - of two types - - would you buy?

Let me ask you a question: If you had to buy a new car, and having two choices, both cars very similar in type, price, size and performance:

a) A plug-in hybrid (range at least 60 miles on battery power alone, and at least 200-300 miles with a range extender, a combination of a small gasoline motor with an alternator, that produces electricity to extend the range of the car). Minimum 150 mpg, and for which you can make your own fuel (electricity) with solar panels on your… Continue

Get off foreign oil! GET OFF FOREIGN OIL! Yet we don't do the most common-sense thing, like initating a strong conservation plan.

Get off foreign oil! GET OFF FOREIGN OIL! Oil prices went past $ 65 and climbing!

Yet, we don't do the most common-sense thing!

Why don't we do the most logical thing - - as already practiced effectively by European countries - - NAMELY INITIATE A STRONG CONSERVATION PLAN?

As demonstrated by our finest energy research center - - the Rocky Mountain Institute - - US energy needs could be reduced by 30% by practicing conservation! The importance of doing so was… Continue

As 60% owners of GM we, the tax payers who rescued GM, MUST DEMAND NEW MANAGEMENT FOR GM!

The same incompetent losers who brought GM to the point of bankruptcy are left to run GM.

This is ridiculous!

We need cars of the future! Fully electric and plug-in hybrids!

The GM Volt has been judged a failure by Washington! Absolutely correct! EV experts had predicted - - as posted on www.ElToroEXPOSED.com - - that the Volt was built to fail. Why? GM following orders from the oil moguls? So that they can push the… Continue
