Amazing how Bush energy plan pops back up just as gas hits2.20

[gizmo1979]

He has alot oh balls bringing up artic drilling just as we're having the screws put to us.The man has no shame.All his friends are laughing all the way to the bank!!!!

1. I'd say

Let's make hydrogen engines and use that. We could cut our dependance on OPEC greatly. If we recycled plastic more and used a different material for it's base, we'd cut OPEC's influence even more.

7. Hydrogen

Ahnolds Hummer runs real good on hydrogen, I know it's true, I saw it on Tee Vee!

8. Where d'ya supose the hydrogen will come from?

The oceans are full of the stuff, right? Two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen. But the only hydrogen that Bush and his cronies are interested in comes from HYDROcarbons. Yup, oil. Look at their hydrogen policy with more than just a cursory glance and you'll see the catch, and it's not really even in the fine print.

Oil men will be oil men.

2. What else is ironic....

...the more we conserve, the more the cost goes up. One of the points of conservation is to keep costs down. Just because the energy companies want to make more money and can get away with it.

3. Yup, the broad market tanks throughout the day - except for the Energy

indices. bush brings up conservation and alternative resources and it drops more than 1% at the end of the day.

The man is so fucking stupid it defies description.

4. But ANWR crude won't do us any good.

1. Very limited supply (relative to our consumption, even to just our imports)
2. The sulfur content and the viscosity, vapor pressure, open and closed cup ignition properties, etc. are "incompatible" with West Coast refineries --- which are (over)optimized for Indonesian crude.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PRACTICE "CREATIVE ENGINEERING" = higher CAFE standards, more alternatives and renewables.

Duh, it's called "CREATIVE ENGINEERING"

-I are a injunear. :dunce:

5. I noticed that coincidence

Reminded me of the blackouts, failing grid, blah, blah, etc., that got better as soon as the Chimperor's crooked buddies got billions of taxpayer money. Kind of like the threat to nuke a city has disappeared along with the Big Dick since the election is over...

[donkeyotay]

6. And say, what ever happened to that terrists threat to a mall in Ohio?

[Just Me]

9. Ya' mean that plan to exploit M.E. resources and funnel US treasures to,..

,...profiteering pockets (cold fusion and nuclear waste and all that).

Yup,...the military/energy/corporate complex is sucking the very life out of us. They are proud capitalists/fascists and have no room whatsoever for human worth or equality or advancement or any of that silly imaginations. THEY ARE GOD *LOL*

,...yup,...that would be their take,...
