Oil export ban and big imports expose US energy hypocrisy(think of all the CO2 released by this zot)

North Carolina is a verdant state with long, sandy beaches. Its humid summers make air conditioning desirable: in fact, its 10 million people use more electricity than Indonesia's 237 million. Related

"North Carolina is unique of all the states," says Daniel Fine of the New Mexico Center for Energy Policy, "of having potential natural gas but having prohibited it". Onshore shale gas exploration is banned, and drilling off North Carolina's shores has been forbidden since 1990. Last year, the governor vetoed an offshore drilling law.

North Carolina is thus a microcosm of a long-standing inconsistency in the United States' approach to energy: voracious consumption combined with restrictions on production. The assumption is that others, less squeamish about the environment, will make up the difference.

Tuesdays and Fridays at my job we get shipments packed in dry ice. Hundreds of pounds of solid carbon dioxide. (It will cool your soda pop down real nice!) It makes me giggle like a school girl to stand out on the loading dock and watch as it sublimates into the atmosphere. Then “poof”, its just gone.

Your poster is good advice to all environmentalists. They need to stop imprinting the world with their individual carbon signatures right now.

This troll is proof if how far our society has devolved. If he/she/it could think at all then he/she/it would know that carbon dioxide is necessary to sustain life. It is food for plants. If the article has any truth, then the rest of the world should be thanking us for promoting a healthier planet!

The average American produces almost three times the carbon dioxide of the typical Chinese.

The average DUmmie troll produces almost three times the carbon monoxide when zotted than the typical Chinese.

LOL! Yes, I think I’ve seen him use it, too. I would have sworn that I already had a copy of it, but I couldn’t find it in my Photobucket account. Just too many albums and sub albums, I guess.

Anyway, thank you for letting me “borrow” it. ;-)

There must be a ton of money involved in this universal scienc change. Now even scientists are shills.

You’re either stupid or ignorant.

Ignorant can be fixed on rare occasion. Stupid? Not so much.

Enjoy the future your stupidity reaps you, jerk.

Interesting thread though the guy has been Zotted. His posting history (see #19) has references to "fracking." I have linked them all to the keyword fracking so anyone with an interest can look at them. The New Mexico connection is Dr. Daniel Fine at NM Tech who testifies on behalf of the practice.

NM list PING!

I may not PING for all New Mexico articles. To see New Mexico articles by topic click here: New Mexico Topics

(The NM list is available on my FR homepage for anyone to use. Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

“The average American produces almost three times the carbon dioxide of the typical Chinese.”

Good thing that statistic isn’t reversed, or there might really be a CO2 problem.
