  • The Investment Implications of U.S. Natural Gas 'Policy' [View article]
    the price benefit is that americans will be spending money on natural gas produced in america rather than sending their money overseas for foreign oil. this is also the reason the federal reserve doesn't want transparency or to be audited...they have to print the money to allow the U.S. to pay for the inconvenient truth of being 65% addicted to foreign oil. instead, we should be using domestic natural gas supplies in the transportation sector and filling up in our garages. not only would we reindustrialize the country and be using a cleaner alternative to coal and oil, but we'd also be sending our money to U.S. energy companies, landowners, and farmers in the form of royalties. this creates jobs and sustains our economy. it would usher in an era of economic prosperity few can even remember (back in the days when the U.S. was self sufficient in oil).

    well, obama has the energy pulpit and is wasting it just like W did. obama has had two disasters that would have been excellent opportunities to tout natural gas and its advantages and he won't do it, because he and energy secretary chu and worthless energy "advisor" carol browner are exactly the same as the bush administration: let's stay addicted to coal and oil and ignore natural gas and natural gas transportation. let's stay addicted to the most expensive and dirtiest fuels and ignore the cheapest and cleanest. it's as oxymoronic as "clean coal".

    or, they (obama and chu) could stay on their wrong-headed course - buying foreign oil, perpetuating the myth of a clean electric car recharged by "clean coal" architecture, and ignoring natural gas transportation. this is what i have seen so far. despite the two disastrous spills, i have still never heard obama utter the 3 words "natural gas transportation" in succession.

  • Senate Rejects Fed Amendment; Higher Gold Prices Await [View article]
    mr. hyder: if you don't understand why the Federal Reserve printing money out of thin air devalues our currency, and is therefore bullish for gold, that is one thing. if you disagree with me on the matter, that is something else. but your "crap" comment is uncalled for (especially since you didn't back up the comment with anything substantial). apparently the SA editor who read the article disagreed with you - as they didn't have to publish it. try to be a bit more constructive in your comments. i don't mind disagreement or debate, but please try to be specific as to why the article was crap. i was saying the same thing when gold was $900/oz and now it is $1250/oz.

    definitely. better yet, use your free night-time cell phone minutes to call their washington office number and leave a choice message. you can find their office number by googling the senator's name and going to their webpage. legislation to audit the federal reserve is as common sense as natural gas transportation legislation...but neither can make any headway with this corrupt congress. it's disgusting!

    i hear ya..but money for who? the arab oil producers as opposed to american natural gas producers? at some point, the U.S. needs to be about more than making money...and giving it away. we need some level of self determination, self dedication, self industrialization, and self sufficiency.

    good thinking...perhaps the issue is that the oil gets widely dispersed before hitting the surface...requiring a vacuum the size of puerto rico. the inverted funnel will take care of the dispersion issue as the vacuum hose will be connected to the tit at the top of the funnel.

    Eat a Peach was intended to be a salute to duane allman. apparently you don't understand that the album was dedicated to him, which makes me wonder if you even know who duane allman is.

    yes, i think a large number of them should have been allowed to go bankrupt!! that is *capitalism*...what we have now is *facsism*. letting them go belly-up is sure a better outcome than giving a bunch of rich fraudsters MY hard earned tax money! then they would have had to go out and actually EARN a living by doing something productive instead of sucking wealth out of the system and putting nothing back in. now they are free to just continue what they are doing before, with the exception that they are all much wealthier now. it stinks.

    john - i presented "unbiased facts" in my 2nd reply to you in this thread. you have not responded to these facts. so, it is not me that is ignoring facts, as you acuse me of doing, it is obviously you that don't want to look at the facts regarding global warming. if you wish to change your ways, then please respond to my earlier list of facts supporting climate change. then maybe you too will be a "do-gooder" and feel better (and at least have facts on your side instead of old and tired dogma).

    brazil has an "energy policy" and now they are using natural gas to fuel their vehicles so they can export their oil to the U.S. and what you don't seem to grasp is that you have a "policy" now: addiction to foreign oil and coal. that is your government centralized planning NOW. that is what you have TODAY. my support for natural gas transportation means be able to fill up your vehicle in your garage with a *domestic* fuel. it means freedom. it means economic strength for your country.

    as pickens says, the addiction to foreign oil is causing the biggest transfer of wealth (from the U.S. to the oil producers) in world history.

    if you want to stand by and watch the U.S. go down the tubes over it, that's your right. me, i want an ENERGY POLICY. a strategic, long-term, and comprehensive policy that:

    1) reduces U.S. consumption and reliance of foreign oil
    2) creates millions of good jobs
    3) reindustrializes the country
    4) keeps our wealth here at home
    5) stops funding both sides of the "war on terror"

    here's how:

    if you're against this, i'd have to question your patriotism and understanding of what real freedom is.

    don't care for the michael jackson comparison, but it's a free country to make cheap shots. you said: what i am saying is that paul is the ultimate fiscal conservative because he supports constitutional money (backed by gold and silver). at this point, i believe this is much more important an issue than are several minor socially related issues. it's like gay marriage, abortion, and all that other crap that pales in comparison to the raping and pillaging of our country by the small number of fascists dominating monetary and fiscal policies and the printing of fiat money only to hand it out to, you guessed it, their friends at Goldman Sachs (and JP Morgan, and AIG, and ...)

    what i am saying is let the courts do their job and find out if GS is guilty. you don't know if they are or are not, and neither does buffet. but considering the past, i for one and extremely happy to see the government at least prying into the issue and finding out.

    wrt mt st helens, i still think both the coal fly-ash spill and the GOM tragedy dwarf that natural event in terms of environmental impact. i suppose we just disagree. the polluted water in the tennessee river system will eventually effect millions of americans and cancer rates will soar (i predict). the GOM disaster speaks for itself. i don't understand how you can say mt st helens is worse than these events.

    wrt climate change, i'm not going to debate it any longer with you. apparently, you don't believe increasing CO2 levels cause increasing atmospheric temperatures, althought this is pretty basic. you also apparently didn't do the math or refute the ice core sample data. so, if you're not going to look at the science, then i'm not going to debate it furher as it's simply a waste of time.

    eat a peach: i don't think ron paul tows the typical religious right dogma of the "republican" party. he's more like me: OLD style republican...no debt, balanced budgets, sane foreign policies, small government. paul was and is against the wars in the middle east - this is not typical republican. paul is against all this bailout crap and lose monetary policy based on a fiat currency - that isn't typical republican (new "republican" anyhow...) rhetoric. nope, i cannot agree that ron paul should be lumped in with all the religious right dogma fed republicans led by rush limbaugh. no way! you ever see any other republican kick the hell out of bernanke in those federal reserve testimony meetings? nope. they all kiss bernanke's butt.
