This letter was sent to Senators Domenici and Bingaman, in an attempt to forestall proposed onerous regulations (as usual) which adversely effect every attempt at pursuing a normal sane and rational energy extraction policy.

Couldn't resist the environmentalism aspect of forrest/Clinton/devestation.

The current Energy Crisis facing all Americans

I didn't know there was an energy crisis. Maybe your letter would have more impact if you started out in the realm of reality.

Sure, some people's livelihoods desperately need wind power to fail.

Crisis? No problem. Gas-fired power plants to the rescue!</sarc>

Forest Clinton? Is he related to Forest Gump? I'll bet he is!!!

Melanie Morgan on KSFO radio in SFO has taken to calling the minions who hang with Cindi Sheehan, the "Mother Gumpers!"

Everytime I hear that, or the Windy/Solar or other so-called "alternative energy" croud trying to make moral equivalents with nuclear, gas or oil... I just break into the biggest cat eating glue grin you ever saw!!!

Great letter. You should post that on your homepage.

We remember the fires in Oregon a few years ago. The fires that were set up by insane elite Watermelon enviralists with their road closures and refusal to allow brush and dead trees to be cleared. Bob, thanks for this clear chunk of data:

"During the Clinton Administration over 6 million acres of Federal lands were placed off limits to road construction, logging, thinning, brush clearing, mining and oil and gas activity. Tragically, since the year 2000 over 8 million acres have been completely devastated by fire (mostly the 6 million set aside) in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Utah, Colorado, California, Wyoming and New Mexico. Over 100 lives were lost, hundreds of homes, phenomenal amounts of varied wildlife species, not to mention the habitats of such sacred cows as the Spotted Owl, red-legged frog, lynx, cougar, and numerous endangered fish when their streams were fowled with the resulting erosional run-off. We reap what we sow."

Fine, let’s take Senator Bingaman’s deep desire and that of the environmentalists and install 400’ wind turbines throughout the windy Otero Mesa. It would provide “free energy”, jobs to locals who could collect the raptor and migratory bird carcasses and the “footprint” would surely be no greater than a five foot high gas well head.

Who says I didn't advocate wind power.

Cover Otero Mesa with 400 foot wind generators PUHHHLLLEEEEEEEEZE.

Remember how we funded the billboard which, because of its popularity, became self funding for several months, in addition to spinning off the same in AZ & NM.

I will post this on my homepage. Thanks boys.

"In the 1970’s the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity Hurricane Barrier Project planned to build fortifications and floodgates at two strategic locations, which would keep massive storms in the Gulf of Mexico from causing Lake Pontchartrain to flood the city. “The floodgates would have blocked the flow of water from the Gulf, through Lake Borgne, through the Rigolets (and Chet Mentuer) into Lake Pontchartrain, “declared Professor Gregory Stone, the James P. Morgan distinguished Professor and Director of the Coastal Studies Institute of Louisiana State University. “This likely would have stopped the storm surge coming from the Gulf into Lake Pontchartrain,” Professor Stone said during an interview September 6. The professor concluded, “These floodgates would have alleviated the flooding of New Orleans caused by Katrina. They were designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. Needless to say, those plans were abandoned after environmental advocates successfully sued to have it stopped. Specifically, in 1977, a state environmentalist group known as Save Our Wetlands sued to have it stopped. This effort at protection continued for a number of times in the ensuing years, as recently as 2004, and every time was opposed by environmentalists. Perhaps if the floodgates had been constructed the following refineries flooded out would still be producing gasoline: Valero in Norco, LA (225,000 bbl./day), Murphy Oil in Meraux, LA (120,000 bbl./day), Exxon Mobil in Chalmette, LA (183,000 bbl/day), Conoco Phillips in Belle Chase, LA (255,000 bbl/day), Marathon in Garyville, LA (245,000 bbl/day), Chevron in Pascagoula, Mississippi (325,000 bbl/day) for a total down of 1,605,000 barrels gasoline, jet fuel and related products per day. While not all of the refineries listed are down because of flooding, it graphically points out the necessity of building more refineries at locations scattered throughout the US in order to avoid a disastrous destruction of refining capacity due to being geographically clustered. If anyone thinks Al Qaeda didn’t notice this severe disruption, they are crazy. No more environmental opposition or NIMBY attitude needed when it comes to new refinery construction. It is vital both economically and strategically to protect our economy from natural disasters and terrorist attacks."

What a paragraph!!! Packed with TRUTH!!! Long... but full of truths that should be obvious to lawmakers! But alas... Many of them are oblivious to the obvious!!!

German inventor's "cat fuel" angers animal lovers
Reuters ^ | September 14, 2005 | Staff


Posted on 09/14/2005 8:27:28 AM PDT by MadIvan


BERLIN (Reuters) - A German inventor has angered animal rights activists with his answer to fighting the soaring cost of fuel -- dead cats.

Christian Koch, 55, from the eastern county of Saxony, told Bild newspaper that his organic diesel fuel -- a home-made blend of garbage, run-over cats, and other ingredients -- is a proven alternative to normal consumer diesel.

"I drive my normal diesel-powered car with this mixture," Koch said. "I have gone 170,000 km (106,000 miles) without a problem."

The website of Koch's firm, "Alphakat GmbH", says his patented "KDV 500" machine can produce what he calls the "bio-diesel" fuel at about 23 euro cents (30 cents) a litre, which is about one-fifth the price at petrol stations now.

Koch said around 20 dead cats added into the mix could help produce enough fuel to fill up a 50-litre (11 gallon) tank.

But the president of the German Society for the Protection of Animals, Wolfgang Apel, said using dead cats for fuel was illegal.

"There's no danger for cats and dogs in Germany because this practice is outlawed in Germany," Apel told Bild on Wednesday in a story entitled "Can you really make fuel out of cats?"

"We're going to keep an eye on this case," Apel said.

"11:27 Futures Movers: U.S. crude stocks drop, but gas supplies rise"

Little bullet from BigCharts.MarketWatch.com... I'll bet that's nationally and doesn't include CA with it's boutique blend of BS gas!!!

I swear! If I ever catch one of those EnvironMental Suers at the same gas pump that I'm using... I'll take that nozzle and shove it where the sun don't shine and hook that little catch thingy so it fills that dumb sucker with CA's boutique blend!!!

Since I quit smoking and no longer carry a lighter, I'll have to leave it at that and that's too bad!!! The dood would make an excellent Molotov Cocktail!!! And I'd love shovin that rag down his throat!!! Here's to VIOLENCE!!! (It has it's place, ya know)(winning through intimidation!)
