Energy Crisis Is Postponed

– As new gas rescues the world … Burning rock, or at least the natural gas trapped within. Natural Gas is Methane, CH4, the lowest from of hydrocarbon. One of the distinct advantages of natural gas is it does not contain the impurities that is dissolved in and carried by oil deposits. So natural gas burns cleaner, by definition. It still emits CO2 in about the same proportions, but it does not emit the other pollutants that are contained in oil, after refining. There is only so much that can be done to filter out the pollutants.

Remember, CO2 is not a pollutant, no matter what the Supreme Court has to say about it. Does your breath kill, well maybe it might offend others but not kill. And the offense is the ‘other’ things contains in your breath, because CO2 is odorless and tasteless.

Oil shale is rock containing deposits of oil and is pictured above  burning.

U.S. Blocks Oil Drilling at 60 Sites in Utah

The energy straight jacket the liberals have placed America in is a choice. It is not a fixed fact of life. We have a choice. And now that the liberals AGW hoax has been totally eviscerated, that choice stands bold in view of everyone, if you just look. We have it in our power, for example, to reverse the absurd de facto 30-year ban on new nuclear power plants and the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. We have it in our power to release huge domestic petroleum reserves by dropping the ban on offshore and Arctic drilling. We can release the oil in our huge domestic coal reserves by simply building modern improved versions of 1920s technolgy, coal to liquids refineries.

Do not doubt the complicity of the media in all this … But now, the media parrot has lost it’s voice, all the lies have lost it’s truth telling platform, and all the lies has wrought it’s destruction. Truth is where you find it, find it, and hold to the truth.

Because there is hope we will. With the DNC’s media parrot on it’s last legs, USA Today says sales of newspapers are down another 17% for the first six months of the year, the energy lies continue to spring forth. When are the American people going to realise our lack of energy resources – it’s a hoax and stand up.This time it’s the Captain Obama lies. It’s deliberate …

In the never ending quest for energy independence, we get this …

The Department of the Interior has frozen oil and gas development on 60 of 77 contested drilling sites in Utah, saying the process of leasing the land was rushed and badly flawed.

This is a choice, not a fact, not a necessity. A destructive choice nonetheless.

The 77 government-owned parcels, covering some 100,000 acres in eastern and southern Utah, were leased in the last weeks of the Bush administration. But the leases were immediately challenged by conservation groups, and in January a federal judge blocked drilling on the ground that the Interior Department had failed to follow its own procedures for reviewing the appropriateness of lands designated for oil and gas extraction.

An Interior Department review team then presented Secretary Ken Salazar with a recommendation that drilling be allowed to proceed on 17 of the 77 parcels. But it also said that the leases on eight parcels should be withdrawn and that 52 should be subjected to further study because of potential threats to wildlife and air and water quality.

The liberals have been lying about the ”energy independence” scam for decades, all the while blocking access to American resources. It’s a choice, a liberal choice, not a necessity.
