Why did Obama feel it necessary to politicize his energy addresses??
2012-02-26 21:36:00 “In a campaign speech cleverly disguised as his Weekly Address to the nation,” writes Joe Newby of the Spokane Conservative Examiner, the president rehashed “his Miami campaign speech”, the self-proclaimed post-partisan politician engaged in partisan posturing: Now, some politicians always see this as a political opportunity. And since it?s an election year, they?re already dusting off ...

Playing defense on gas prices, Obama faults Republicans for doing what he (
2012-02-24 09:00:00 For the better part of the past two months, the president has had it pretty easy. We’ve seen some decent jobs numbers. He has not really been in the public eye while the media have focused on the GOP’s internecine struggles. He hasn’t really had to play defense. Until gas prices started rising. And this ...

What conservatives see as media bias, NYTimes finds curious

But Republicans have criticized Mr. Obama for ...

The Case Against Drilling Takes Another Hit

Why is the left blocking US energy independence?
2008-07-27 03:41:00 Why does the left block US energy development? The answer is their value system is different from the mainstream of the country. But the left’s blocking energy development costs all of us. Case in point. Do you know how much oil shale is in the US? Eight times as much as the Saudi Arabia reserves. 2118 Billion barrels vs 267 billion for the Saudis. But the democrats block its development. Nuclear power? The democrats have been blocking the building of nuclear power plants for over 30 years. Offshore drilling, ANWR drilling? The left don’t even want to debate it. Wind power? The left blocks that. Just ask Ted Kennedy what he thinks about wind power. Though in the thoroughly conservative Texas, we are developing the country’s largest wind power project. So as you pay more at the pump, realize that you are paying extra to support the liberal’s values. Of course if you don’t like paying the extra, you can vote republican and throw the democratic bums o...

PLAN A GARDEN FOR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
2008-02-08 01:54:00 Here we are in the dark days of winter and the spring seed catalogs have started arriving. These brightly colored reminders of warm days ahead cheer me up. In our house, the arrival of the spring seed catalogs kicks off the plant selection debate. My wife tries to fill every empty space in our small garden. I try to limit the number of holes I’ll have to dig. My wife believes that no garden is complete until there is no room for weeds. We are fortunate to live in part of the world that will grow an amazing abundance of beautiful and nutritious plants. I have traveled across our great country several times. I am awed by the size of the vast farms and orchards that we have in our heartland. When I get dragged into a grocery store, I am amazed at the variety of produce. Many fresh foods travel great distances to get into our shopping cart. There are fresh vegetables from California, a thousand miles away. Plus, there are fresh berries from South America and fresh tangeri...

Solar gets competitive
2007-12-27 03:44:00 I can't get too excited about politics right now but this is exciting:Solar cheaper than coal and fallingNew developments in solar power make 'clean coal' look even dumber Let me be the last in the greenosphere to note that Nanosolar has shipped its first panels, and it's no exaggeration to say that this moment will likely be seen as a historical turning point.[.....]Nanosolar's claim is that power from their panels will pencil out at about $0.99 a watt. The implications are pretty stunning: "With a $1-per-watt panel," [CEO Martin Roscheisen] said, "it is possible to build $2-per-watt systems."According to the Energy Department, building a new coal plant costs about $2.1 a watt, plus the cost of fuel and emissions, he said.So what is Nanosolar and what do they do different?The New Dawn of Solar The company produces its PowerSheet solar cells with printing-press-style machines that set down a layer of solar-absorbing nano-ink onto metal sheets as thin as aluminum foil, so the pa...

All things come to an end
2007-09-19 06:31:00 In the post on Pat Tillman below Ralph of NewsFare wrote the following in the comments section: In many respects our republic, as it has existed since the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, is already dead. But such deaths of governments happen periodically in most countries, I think. Now, although the outer trappings of government may not change in any significant way, we are living in an entirely different form of government than we knew in, say, the 1960s. And for us, since the changes to date appear all to have been uniformly negative, this is a very sad time.Nevertheless, I've personally concluded it's useless to pretend we can bring back the republic we have known. Rather, we need to focus on what form of government comes next for our country. While the death of the previous republic is an established fact, the future form of our government appears to be very much in doubt, open for ideas and actions. On that, we can hope to have an influence.Ralph of course is right but I th...
Oil Shale - a really bad idea for a serious problem
2007-09-05 03:25:00 Oil shale is kind of like the the lunatics of the Project For A New American Century - just when you think you've beaten them back they come back with a vengeance. I have been meaning to write on this guest post over at Joe Gandelman's The Moderate Voice a few days ago by J. Thomas Andrews,Oil Shale to the Rescue?The only thing oil shale might rescue is the multi-national energy companies. Now Mr Andrews begins with some things I agree with: Ethanol from corn or anything else in not a solution.Hybrid vehicles are not a solution.ANWR is not a solution.But then he tries to sell energy from oil shale. However, we have another source of domestic petroleum that has the potential to make a big difference: oil shale.Oil shale is a type of rock that has a petroleum precursor called kerogen trapped inside of it. Using a variety of mechanical and chemical processes, this kergoen can be extracted and upgraded into liquid fuels like synthetic gasoline and synthetic diesel. The United States h...

Energy Independence: The Solutions Limousine Liberals Don?t Want You to Hea
2007-06-15 23:58:00 Contrary to what politicians have been spouting recently, American energy independence can be accomplished with very simple solutions. These solutions are so obvious, in fact, that it begs the questions why these policy modifications have not been implemented. In reality, the reason these changes haven?t been implemented has a straightforward answer as well: limousine liberals do not ?really? want energy independence.If energy independence was their goal, we would never hear anyone tell us that ethanol, wind power, solar power, florescent light bulbs, hybrid cars, or bio-diesel can achieve anything of significance. We would never be bombarded with misinformation from the ?glittering gems of colossal ignorance.? We would never be told that using more energy to improve our standard of living and prosperity is an addiction. Moreover, we would not have to sit through ridiculous congressional hearings with ?Big Oil? CEOs; maybe I am the only one who watches CSPAN?So, allow me the dauntin...
