— Ace A point that's so obvious that the MSM can't seem to comprehend it:
As dumb as this claim is, and it is stupid on it's face, the one that continues to bug the shit out of me is when the Dems keep whinning that any additional drilling offshore or in ANWR wouldn't yield any oil for a number of years. Instead, they want to invest in unproven technologies such as electric cars and solar and wind which will cost significantly more, require a massive overhaul of supporting infrastructure and...wait for it...won't yield any results for even more years if ever. Yet, nobody points out this obvious yet inconvenient truth.This whole thing is a blatant excuse to rework our economy to favor more enlightened and ecology happy energy sources to support the myth of man made global warm..er climate change.
That's from Jack Straw.
I personally have trouble making that point because it's so goddamned obvious I feel like I'm condescending even to mention it.
However, the MSM has no such excuse -- they conduct interviews with these people day-in, day-out, and certainly it would be newsworthy to have a Democrat explain why we shouldn't explore for oil, which might take five years to show any benefit, but we should put al our eggs in the "new technology" basket, which will take ten years to show any benefit. If ever.

- immediately cease all efforts to slow AIDS progression. We know with certainty that all current treatments will eventually fail. We cannot treat our way out of this problem.
- focus all energy on alternative cures. There has to be one out there, and time and money wasted treating current patients is just taken away from finding a cure. Life is a finite pie; a zero sum game.
- the pain felt by focusing on the cure is what we get for not taking the right approach and trying hard enough before. It's a shame to let people die, but we have to think finding a cure for future generations.

The government and its minions should use no oil until the new alternative is onstream. I'll allow an exception for the military. Let the congress fry, freeze, and walk so they understand the full impact of their pandering gestures.
Let them lead from the front.
It would take about a month to have oil flowing from ANWR.

The problem being faced is one of utility and scale, neither of which solar and wind provide for. I'm intrigued that the entire role of oil in petrochemical, fertilizer, plastics, etc. is being ignored in the discussion. Granted, oil is very useful as a vehicle fuel, but to limit the discussion at that and discuss ready substitutes for only that role misses much of the discussion.
Posted by: redherkey at June 30, 2008 11:19 AM (kjqFg)
I'm all for developing new sources of energy. In tandem with drilling more oil. Only half of each barrel goes to fuel production. The rest, which I never see anyone complaining about, is used to make all manner of necessary stuff. We can't make plastics out of wind or sun. And I think the environmentalists' first reaction would be, well, great!! Let's not make any more plastics!!! Plastic sucks! But let the world go a day without medical equipment, eyeglasses, bicycle tires, coffee makers, PETA-approved shoes (that's right--petroleum products!!), rope, I could go on, but you get the idea, and see what kind of mayhem ensues.
**Oh, OK, just saw that redherkey has been thinking about this part of the problem, too...
Plastics and synthetic materials can be made with other raw materials, but those all have their own issues--diversion of corn and soybeans from the food chain, felling of more forests, etc. It's disingenuous to just pretend we don't need the things that we get from petroleum, and I don't think the people who claim that $10 for a gallon of gas would be good are even thinking of everything else it affects.

There is nothing stopping the new technology from hitting the market. last time I check we still have a quisi-free market system in America The leftist never met a progressive idea that did not require govt money to fund. That's why PBS still gets money from the government; it can not make it on it's own. Same with lousy art work.
Develop your own new energy source and put the oil companies out of business. Until then quit having me fund your socialist ways

I can see where it seems so obvious you'd have to assume everyone knows it, but when the Left's politicians are acting as though nobody knows it (by making the assumptions/proposals they make) then even the obvious can seem worth a mention.
Mine was wonder what Schwarzenegger has done to prepare California for his imminent proposed changeover to all electric cars.
And, since we're stating the obvious, the answer is "not a damned thing".
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-power29apr29,1,585177.story
Apr 28, 2008: The risk of electricity blackouts in Southern California during the hottest days this summer is more than triple that of previous years because power plant additions have failed to keep up with demand, the state's grid manager said.
I wonder what the state's grid manager says about refueling every car in California with the existing grid and supply... although I'd rather not be too close when someone asks and his head explodes.

I expect this will bring a torrent of scorn, but...
Is it a bad idea to try to limit oil consumption for reasons besides the global warming/cooling/climate change/manbearpig reasons?
I mean, I don't think it necessarily bad that we try to stop depending on an energy source that people that hate us are sitting on a bunch of. Would nukes + electric cars be a bad thing? Not saying 'no oil', just 'our oil - no imports'.
That said, I would hate to give that victory to the religious zealots of the Church of Global Warming and Environmentalism. It would be kind of like the smoking ban in bars: I don't like how it got there, but I have to admit, it's nice not having your clothes reek of smoke after boozing it up. Plenty of reek from other sources.
As a believer in free markets, am I convinced that the barriers to entry in the auto mkt, the energy market and the oil business are as low as they could be?
Is there a free market solution to this or would it have to be part of a nationwide energy policy? Seriously. I'm looking to gain some understanding.

Damn straight refinery capacity can scale up to meet demand. Even though no all-new refineries have been built since 1974, the remaining ones have been expanded as needed precisely because it it easier to get the permit to expand an existing facility than it is to build an all new one. And that's counting the shuttering of the smaller, older, and less efficient facilities that were uneconomical to operate in the late 70s to the mid 80s.
We will never run out of mined biofuels and other hydrocarbons as long as there is life on this rock. There is a reason why 99.99% of the living species on this rock use hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon derivatives to maintain life on this rock.
New tech is always more expensive initially on the margin than incumbent technology until the new technology is so much more valuable economically that it displaces, but never totally eliminates, the older technology. IOW, today, the answer is drilling, refining, and building new production facilities; for the short term, the medium term, and for the long term when the new tech possibly will have proven itself to be economically valuable precisely because the new tech's costs are too high to earn a profit even with subsidies (aka legalized theft) today and for the near future.
Add 2% to world reserves? What rock are you living under? There is enough oil and gas here in the US to add 50% to 100% to world reserves. We can't get at it or quanitfy it precisely because leftists in Congress refuse to face reality and cut the oil companies loose to develop it. And that doesn't take into consideration what might be found elsewhere in the world. Nor does it take into consideration coal production or implementing modern Fisher-Tropsch coal to liquid synthesis oil and synthesis gas.
Finally, our "environmental" regulations are so far into the realm of the law of diminishing returns that we could relax them by one to two orders of magnitude and no one would notice. These regulations unnecessarily add to the costs of the old and the new technology.

No. That's not what made you a retard.
ronnie dobbs-
It's not an either/or argument. We should be investing in atomic energy, wind, solar, etc. But, when I say we, it is the free market we and not the government deciding which are the chosen industries. Gov't should be there to provide safeguards and guidelines and not to demand which sectors are off limits and certainly not to use our tax dollars to promote one over the other.
The French, the French for God's sake, have been building safe nuke plants for years and lead the world in the percentage of power they get from atomic energy. If those cheese eating goofballs can do it, I think we can safely harness a technology we invented. Clean coal is also very viable. And we are sitting on billions of barrels of proven oil and oil shale reserves but our gov't is preventing us from extracting it for purely political reasons. If we are being forced to import oil from "our enemies", it is because our solons in DC are making it so.
Incidentally, we import more oil from Africa, most notably Nigeria, than from the middle east. The gap between Africa and the middle east is growing. Still, our two biggest import partners are Canada and Mexico and while they may piss us off, Mexico with all the illegals and Canada for being, well, Canadians, they are still mostly friends.

From what I understand, massive conservation and/or limits on individual oil consumption would have little or no impact on the market in general. The excess oil that would not be sold in the U.S. would be gobbled up by China and India, and prices would remain high. Also, state governments get a lot of funds from gas taxes. If people start not buying gas, or the government limits their consumption, the individual states will lose quite a bit of money. Consequently, they will have to hike taxes in other areas to make up for the loss.
That being said, I have no problem with nuclear power, and welcome the idea of opening new nuclear plants. As for hybrid vehicles, they sound good until you read the fine print and realize that when the hybrid battery dies, you could end up paying an exhorbitant amount for a new one. As for ethanol, cars don't perform as well, it's not significantly cheaper, and it causing food prices to run amuck.
The most logical solution would be to continue on our present course of oil usage until a sustainable solution can be developed.

4: Just to clarify, Denmark's 20% figure is electricity only. About the same as what the US gets from 100+ nuclear reactors. Wind will never compete with nuke as far as energy density (and probably not cost), and it is intermittent, and it requires a massive restructuring of our transmission system. Oil sands are not unproven (Athabasca) . Shale wouldn't be if the gov't allowed for production. If you want alternative energy, the only current viable alternative is nuclear. I say fuck it, burn more coal.
Posted by: bunny boy at June 30, 2008 04:05 PM (pz5Q6)
I wonder what percentage of the Dem base reasons thusly:
The reason alternative technologies don't exist NOW is because those technologies would divert money from Oil companies. Oil companies know this and actively block new energy technology investment, invention and application. If we enable government to block all oil exploration and extraction the Oil companies ability to block new technologies will decrease. New technologies will spring onto the market whole and functional like Athena from Zeus' head. Liberals will be heroic because the environment will be vastly improved. New technologies will enrich the enlightened people who are the type to invest in alternative technologies. The Middle East will shrink into obscurity as we wave them off and cease to send them money. Texas Oil men will shrink into obscurity as we wave them off and cease to send them money. Yay liberals!

Here in Michigan we are being worked already.
Our Democrats have yet to lift a finger to help get oil - the only thing that could help our industry and jobs. Instead, they are banking on Gov. Granholm's plan to become the next Mecca of "new" energy.
I recall some years back when a neighbor decided to jump the future and install solar panels to heat his swimming pool.
Since five solar panels will not quite run your toaster, this was not a particularly well thought out plan.
Two years later he put in a gas pool heater with 25 grand down the drain.
And imagine how much it will cost this State to learn that lesson.

"It's your fault so you must pay and change!"
Republicans blame Government.
Hence their solutions are designed to get Government out of the way and let Americans do what Americans do best!

1. Our current power grid is incapable of recharging 100 million electric vehicles.
2. There are costs when trying to transmit electricity over too long a distance. So electrical generation must be somewhat local.
3. Wind power is highly variable.
4. Solar only works during strong daylight.
5. Most people will be recharging their cars at *night*. So no solar power. How many wind turbines will it take to **guarantee** that the necessary electricity will be available throughout the USA?
http://http://www.jerrypournelle.com/mail/2008/Q2/mail524.html#Saturday
"I threw together some swag numbers to estimate the "impact" on the power grid of 100 million (as a round number) electric automobiles that get about 5 miles per kWh, a number roughly yanked from Wikipedia.
Then I yanked a commute of 10 miles for each of the cars, be it the commute to work or the commute for shopping and other soccer-mommy duties. That's 2kWh per day per car, or roughly 200 gigawatt-hours of electricity. That's a not inconsiderable amount of energy. If spread out over a day it's "roughly" 10 gigawatts of continuous drain on the grid. But if the cars charge over 5 hours and are all plugged in within a couple hours of dusk then figure the drain from the cars becomes 40 gigawatts peak. That's like adding a second California to the power grid day in and day out 365.24 days per year, at the very least. I figure week-end travel may amount to more miles than commute travel. That's why I figure all 365.24 days of the year. But what really matters is the peak drain all hitting at about the same time.
Where is that power coming from Pelosi? Please tell me Reid? I want to know Obama. I demand an answer, now."

Really? electric cars, solar and wind are "unproven" technologies. you might want to tell Denmark that 20% of their power generation comes from an unproven technology. Speaking of unproven technologies - what is your feeling about recovery of oil from sands and shales
I spend about 3 months a year in Europe. I'm well aware of Europe's use of wind and nuclear power. Good for them. We should be doing more of it too. Write your Congressman and Senators, hell, write Ted Kennedy, so we can have more wind power. But if you think we are going to put up enough windmills in this country, the world's largest user of energy by an order of magnitude, to fuel all our needs, you are smoking better shit than I can get ahold of. There are 5 1/2 million people in Denmark. There are more in Manhattan. Is that your plan? Brilliant.
Nobody is stopping you from putting solar on your house, so obviously you have done so. No? Why not? Oh, it cost about 20 grand in order to outfit a 2000 sq ft home. Yea, I'd call that pretty reasonable. Guess you hate the environment. I'm sure all the low income Dems on fixed income are gonna be all over this.
As for electirc cars, super, where's yours? Do you plug it in ever night? Where does the electricity come from, your own windmill? No? Didn't think so. Here's why. They suck. They are tremendously inefficient, the batteries are a recycling nightmare and best of all they are called hybids for a reason. They are half electric and half pure satan, also know as internal combustion. Yea, they burn gas and oil. Horror. They are nothing more than a boutique item for the liberal guilt crowd and the truth is they are worse for the environment in the long run than a 10 year old VW diesel. We are a decade away from an electic car that provides the performance of a fucking Yugo. If that.
I think oil sand recovery is great. Canada is at 1.2 million barrels today and projected to grow to 3 million barrels by 2020. Alberta alone has made over 4 billion in oil sands development from 2003 to 2007. Given that we get more oil from Canada than any other country, you might be using that sand oil to gas up your car. Pretty damn good, wouldn't you say?
Is that what you were asking?

He said something along the lines of; Developing nations cannot build a steel industry that runs on solar energy technology. Technology that even citizens of rich industrialized nations can't afford.
These elitist commie-greens hate industrialization period. They consistently come down on the side of promoting universal poverty. They use their thin gauzy tolerance and sustainability to essentially discriminate against the poorest, and/or brownest populations on the planet.
On the little Caribbean island I live on, we are lucky enough to host one of the largest refineries in the Americas. It provides thousands of jobs and accounts for the largest single source of local government revenue that isn't in the form of handouts from the Feds. Thankfully it was built in the sixties because should it have even been proposed today, legions of green activists and their lawyers would stop it by any means necessary as they have so many other projects.
The 'green' anti-prosperity coalition here is primarily made up of a curious alliance of convenience between anticolonialist pan-African Mugabe wannabe's edumacated in stateside institutions or through [redundant] marxist outreach programs, and liberal transplants from the states trying to escape "the man" to live the noble savage life sipping rum under the safety of the American flag. Predictably, they've become 'The Man' and they've been overly successful in stopping development whilst the rest of us scratch out a living as best we can.
For them:
Hotels? Bad
Rocket assembly plant? Bad
New power generating infrastructure not wholly owned by the local government? Bad
Commercial fishing? BAD
Organic farming on an island that gets less than 30 inches of rain a year; GOOD
Meanwhile the only 'green-collar' jobs that have been produced have been a couple one or two man operations run by transplanted stateside hippyspawn with a talent for suckering fellow kool-aid drinkers in posession of more money than brains. These folk are salivating at the prospect of Jimmeh Carter the second.
Yet despite all the existing federal and local subsidies/rebates, despite constant guilt tripping propaganda, despite a power distribution grid that farts every time it rains, and even though electricity rates are an astronomical 46 cents per kilowatt (thanks to our government owned/run power utility), they still collectively can't convince the general population of working class islanders to part with their hard-earned money.
We apparently don't want the bs of building power sheds in our yards, or the constant upkeep, and ultimate expense of replacing battery banks every few years. We don't want the added costs of protecting PV panels from storm debris. Nor do we relish paying out the ass to erect screaming "no maintainance" wind generators that break down every couple years. Most importantly we simply cannot afford the cash required to go 'green' in the first place. We simply cannot afford to Prius our collective asses to a calender full of cocktail events and costume balls for Gaia. We buy trucks and SUV's for a whole host of practical reasons.
We are a microcosm of the U.S. mainland.
As a result the sheer frustration of the green coalition of regressive hippies and commie malcontents is palpable. They NEED government intervention. They need Hope & Change (TM) and they need it now.
Mass suicide by revolutionary nannies.
