Our First EnviroWhacko...Still Dumber Than Brown Paint

About Energy and Climate he is at least an out-of-touch-with-reality sociopath, or a bonafied True-Believer / Virtual Idiot about Cee-oh-two and the Idiotic Climate Crap.

 

(SEE THE ARTICLE COPIED IN FOR YOU BELOW, AND OTHER ARTICLES HERE AT ARGUGONIAN ON THE SUBJECT OF ENERGY, ETC.)


BUT, the envirowhacko is correct about DC politics and the oil co's being energy-thugs. For, it was none other than the DC PolitoThugs and oil companies who killed the alternative energy movement of the late 70's and early 80's (which would have saved us from the present debacle!). I was very young but very deeply involved with those grassroots efforts. But, stringing them all up in the public square is going to do nothing for us except provide some of us with scant satisfaction.

 

 

Here's a few highlights of the 70thug's shenanigans

The alt energy champion of the time was an upstart, Dennis Hayes. He was making real headway at the grass roots level (without the internet!). The Thugs gave him a big title and a phoney job in DC with big promises for more progress, ...and immediately left-shifted him into obscurity...we never heard from him again.

 

 

A professor (Ovshinski) invented amorphous solar electric cells. They were not very efficient but they were so cheap even then that you could pave the desert and shingle houses with them. Mobil oil bought the patent and sat on it.

 

Flaky/dishonest Jimmy Carter was a nuke engnr who (thru FERC, etc.) gave big $$ to GE and ARCO and some others who cornered the market on uranium.

 

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) (known by grass roots as FARCE), supposedly chartered to find and develop Practical Alternate Energy for our Dear USA  ...their major budget expenditures from the start (up to 97.5% of their annual budget) ALL went to nuclear research, etc.

--And, our greedy elected officials/thugs have blessed it all ...while keeping us in the dark about what has really been going on.

-- At their basis, ALL the shenanigans have been (and still are)

--ALL blessed by our congers-men (and women) (the slimey eels)

   ...our SenateThugs!

 

 

 

 

Sooo... Anyone who blames ANYone but  

these past and present SenateThug sleazebags

for ANY & EVERY one of our National problems

...is dumber than a sack of dirt...

 

No, we have to be realistic here: worse are the stupidoes who elected them, and keep doing so without demanding their accountability...

 

This is a National scandal:

--A Mindless immorality

----A Sickening victimhood

-------A Gigantic Lazy insanity.

 

 

The Only Solution

Folks, if you don't very soon take your concerns and demands to the streets of this Dear USA in huge numbers, it will not survive in a form any of you will like very much.

Counter Revolution is The Only Solution

 

 

You know I love ya

Put oil firm chiefs on trial, says leading climate change scientist

James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, will today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer.

Hansen will use the symbolically charged 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking speech to the US Congress - in which he was among the first to sound the alarm over the reality of global warming - to argue that radical steps need to be taken immediately if the "perfect storm" of irreversible climate change is not to become inevitable.

Speaking before Congress again, he will accuse the chief executive officers of companies such as ExxonMobil and Peabody Energy of being fully aware of the disinformation about climate change they are spreading.

In an interview with the Guardian he said: "When you are in that kind of position, as the CEO of one the primary players who have been putting out misinformation even via organisations that affect what gets into school textbooks, then I think that's a crime."

He is also considering personally targeting members of Congress who have a poor track record on climate change in the coming November elections. He will campaign to have several of them unseated. Hansen's speech to Congress on June 23 1988 is seen as a seminal moment in bringing the threat of global warming to the public's attention. At a time when most scientists were still hesitant to speak out, he said the evidence of the greenhouse gas effect was 99% certain, adding "it is time to stop waffling".

He will tell the House select committee on energy independence and global warming this afternoon that he is now 99% certain that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has already risen beyond the safe level.

The current concentration is 385parts per million and is rising by 2ppm a year. Hansen, who heads Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, says 2009 will be a crucial year, with a new US president and talks on how to follow the Kyoto agreement.

He wants to see a moratorium on new coal-fired power plants, coupled with the creation of a huge grid of low-loss electric power lines buried under ground and spread across America, in order to give wind and solar power a chance of competing. "The new US president would have to take the initiative analogous to Kennedy's decision to go to the moon."

His sharpest words are reserved for the special interests he blames for public confusion about the nature of the global warming threat. "The problem is not political will, it's the alligator shoes - the lobbyists. It's the fact that money talks in Washington, and that democracy is not working the way it's intended to work."

A group seeking to increase pressure on international leaders is launching a campaign today called 350.org. It is taking out full-page adverts in papers such as the New York Times and the Swedish Falukuriren calling for the target level of CO2 to be lowered to 350ppm. The advert has been backed by 150 signatories, including Hansen.
