With no oil drilling nor refining, we won't even have kerosene for lamps or wax for candles. How do we heat? Burn the furniture until it's gone... We will become like a third-world country.
Environmentalists need to get their own country! They want to destroy this one and are so far getting their way.
We will save much power when we stop watching TV, listening to the radio, and tracking news and opinion on the internet, ONCE THE “FAIRNESS DOCTRINE” HAS BEEN IMPOSED!!!
Democrats Will just snivel, whine and blame conservatives for their misery. >:-}
Molon Labe!!
“The U.S. Faces Serious Risks of Brownouts or Blackouts in 2009, Study Warns
Oh gosh... expect another round of “RACISM!” from Obama’s camp if McCain mentions this remark.”
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a movement to change those politically incorrect terms!
“Environmentalists need to get their own country! They want to destroy this one and are so far getting their way.”
I nominate Mexico.
Good point. Thanks. I’m the type that hates doing things over and over.
Who is John Galt?
FMCDH...
And I ain't going down without a fight.
Brownouts will be the least of our worries under an Obama Administration. By the end of 2009, millions of people won’t be able to afford any electricity. I’m going into the candle business. For country folk who depend on electricity to pump their water, I want to market a product called shower in a bottle, a one gallon jug of fragranced water that can be heated in sunshine and poured out through an adjustable shower lid. At the inflated dollar rate of 2009, I should be able to get $32.59 per bottle, and use the hand pump on my well to keep those showers coming.
I bet you Texans have a whole bunch of damns all over. Just damn. *\;-)
That's not in the nature of the parasite.
Please no posts about enviromentalists being the problem, or dumb mistakes by leaders on the left not understanding what they are doing.
They do know and understand better then most here what and why they do these things. It is all part of their plan to nationalize various segments of our economy.
They have with full intent and preplanning crashed our financial system and have succeeded in nationalizing part of that.
When oil was $145.00 a barrel some leftist members of congress spoke openly of nationalizing the oil industry. That trial ballon failed so he retracted the statement.
They have on purposw and with thw knowledge of what will happen stopped power development in America. One it will reduce production amd help China, Russia and other fellow traveling county’s a chance to get ahead of the US.
One of the things McCain doesn’t grasp is the concept of enemys within.
I tire hearing those who are unaware of what the root and goal of those who cause the problems point at who the distraction group is that was setup to do just that distract from the issue. So while most are deriding the enviro-wacko’s they can do their dirty work.
By the way....for those interested, Honda makes a good little generator for about a $1000.00. The smaller one is fine but not enough power for me. On the one I have, I can run the computer, TV, stereo, a couple of lights, coffee pot, refrigerator, freezer. Works great. The coffee pot is the most important item.
Ummm... why are you watching teeheevee at all?
Sign me up for one! Seems like the Y2Kers may just have been off by about 9 years.
Right now, the US is developing small nuclear reactors that are reasonably portable. While these are slated for 2013 or so, there is no practical reason for a delay in their production and manufacture. Both the South Africans and Japanese have practical small-sized reactors for at least a decade.
Importantly, such reactors *by themselves* can only support the electricity needs of a part of a major city. But that would not be their intended use here. They would be used to provide the “marginal” energy needs beyond the capability of the grid. Say, the additional 5% beyond 100%, giving the system 105% of what the grid can do by itself.
It doesn’t sound like much on the surface, but it is the difference between normal operations, and brownouts and blackouts.
Especially when they file allegations against a local government with no objectivity whatsoever!!! I know! I’ve been in “executive session” behind closed doors watching my colleagues wrestling with how to fight back on behalf of the county’s taxpayers against this insanity!!!
Extra ping for good measure!!!
