Obama's Comprehensive Energy Plan
2008-07-08 18:35:00 Barack Obama's energy plan will provide meaningful short-term relief for our families and make a historic investment in alternative energy development that will create millions of new jobs, keep the cost of energy affordable and secure our energy independence once and for all.

Should we eliminate all energy subsidies, or target and increase them?

In their excellent Invest With an Edge (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2151), they ask, "How do you profit from the growing demand in energy and the political push for alternative sources?" Their answer: Market Vectors Global Alternative Energy (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=gex) (NYSE: GEX (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=gex))."This exchange-traded fund fund capitalizes on both the underlying fundamentals of energy demand and the attention towards non-oil sources of energy."Plus, GEX invests in both U.S. and international companies: it’s a global play on a global problem.

John McCain on Energy Security and Our National Security VIDEO
2008-06-24 21:01:00 ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain delivered the following remarks as prepared for delivery at a town hall meeting in Fresno, CA, June 23 at 10:00 a.m. PDT (1:00 p.m. EDT):Thank you all very much. I appreciate the kind introduction from Jim Woolsey, and the warm welcome to Fresno State. I'm here to listen about energy issues as well as to talk. So let me just offer a few ideas before we begin our discussion. All across this state and nation, people are hurting because the price of gasoline is higher than it should be, and more than many folks can afford. Because of far-off events in the world oil market, a barrel of oil has more than doubled in a year. And the bad effects of that are spreading across our economy. The cost of business is rising, the cost of food and other essentials is rising, the whole cost of living is rising. What isn't rising is the value of your paychecks and the rate of America's economic growth. Back in the 1970's, they used to call this "stagflati...

WoC 501. Alternative Energy.
2008-06-19 23:53:00 I've been thinking about the uses of alternative energy, and I was thinking of the best places we could employ, windturbines, solar cells and Geo-thermal heating systems. What we need are places that have a lot of land, have building budgets to buy the equipment and are empty almost half the year. You know what I'm talking about don't you. Schools. Most schools have large areas of land, so they could, if situated correctly have a small to moderate wind turbine, or have geo-thermal heating. That's where you dig a dirty great big hole, bury water pipes and pump up heated water. All schools have vast areas of roof space that could tollerate some solar panels. Just think of the energy they could generate during the summer holidays!I have contacted our local school, and the headmaster is seriously considering it.So why not contact your local school?

Political courage… and that energy thing
2008-06-09 13:40:00 Interesting questions from Victor Davis Hanson, this morning… Why is the U.N. holding conferences about rising food prices, but not spiraling oil prices that in various ways account for them? Somehow in the globalist mindset the agricultural producing world is more culpable than the non-productive OPEC world. But we should remember that it requires skill, ingenuity, and a certain craft to produce enough food to feed one’s country and export the surplus, and none of the above to pump oil, an accident of nature that it is beneath one’s feet, and, in the case of most of OPEC, a commodity and infrastructure that someone else found, developed and currently mostly maintains. The left.. and in this I include the UN, whose bias toward socialism knows few bounds has always had an anti-oil bias… a self-destructive anti-oil bias. No, perhaps that’s wrong. I wonder if a case can be made, that the left actually has an anti-energy bias? It might explain why alter...

Energy and Endurance - Rocket Fuel for Effective Leadership
2008-06-07 22:16:00 Mark Salter, John McCain’s alter ego, co-author, campaign advisor and personal confidant, is a former college roommate. If John McCain should win the presidential election, most political observers agree that Mark will occupy a significant post in his administration. I recently found myself reminiscing on how far he’s progressed in his career. Being a student of talent identification, I locked into thinking about those personal attributes that he displayed 28 years ago that may have contributed to his success in politics and publishing. While a wide assortment of behavioral traits are surely at play, including his first-rate intellectual and communication abilities, he was known to many as a person with a bottomless reservoir of energy and endurance. Mark was clearly driven, and pursued personal goals with unbridled zeal and a single-minded focus. A sure signpost for his energy and endurance levels was a rare ability to function on five to six hours of sleep for extended...
