    Fitzman,

    AlGore does not even get the basics right. The concept of global warming is based on the idea that greenhouse gas, the CO2 from your car, is bottling up the heat of the earth by capping the radiation. Heat radiation takes place in infrared or near-infrared, spanning a wavelenght spectrum from 1 - 350 x10-6 m. CO2 adsorbs photon radiation at two discrete wavelenghts 4.26 and 15.00 x 10-6 m and it gets warmer by getting excited. This is of course reversible. This also implies that most of the infrared radiation of the whole IR spectrum goes past the CO2 unfettered into space. The idea that CO2 can retain the heat of the earth is the equivalent of the attempt to stop a water flow with a sieve that has only two strands. This is pure nonsense.     Reply

    Is Natural Gas Down for the Count? [view article]
    Until I can go down to my local filling station and fill up with natgas I think you just buy it in the fall and sell at the first sign of spring and be happy. Leaks and hurricane damage are for speculators. Reply

    Natural Gas is the fuel of the future. It is clean and green. Why do you think mastermind CEO, Aubrey McClendon, just bought 750,000 shares of CHK? He took advantage of CHK's offering of 25M shares at a bargain-basement price of $57.25 because he knows he will soon double his money. Natural Gas is drilled on-shore and will not pollute our oceans. It is the Democrats little angel, should they win the presidential election. It is the link between fossil type fuels and natural sun, wind and water power. Natural Gas is an excellent investment long term. It is a great investment short term, too. How long do you think our relations with Iran will remain stable. Use your minds. Invest in Natural Gas. Reply

    BOB MCGREGOR if i fill my glass of ice water to the brim when the ice melts the water level is lower. i am not saying the poles are melting. i did see something recently about ice sheets breaking off of one of them. i remember in isaih or jeremiah that a day would come when the sun would scorch the earth. bob you are there where silex is what do you think of the company?

    Thinkbig et al,

    I should have been less cryptic, consider, whether or not one believes in significant human causes to global warming (it is warming) it seems we all should agree that it's in our national interest to reduce our dependence on imported oil. Imported oil contributes to lots of our other problems IE geopolitical, military, economic, environmental, etc. Wouldn't be a bad thing to work on these and in the process reduce co2 levels too, you think?

    Implementing Pickens' Plan for Public Energy Policy [view article]
    paulk8756,
    I can certainly see how it might appear contradictory, but let me explain.

    While item #1 does give the government additional power, which I would in most cases object, it is needed in order to establish a price for an externality, namely pollution, that so far has no price. I go by the mantra that the government should only get involved in situations where private organizations cannot handle it themselves. In this case, I don't see any other way of establishing a price for pollution other than having a central agency involved. Although the government is involved, it is assisting with a solution that harnesses the power of the free market.
    I assume you weren't talking about #2, as that is removing government involvement.

    As for #3, as I stated previously, I'm not totally sold on this idea. Is it ok for the government to provide benefits (such as cheap lending, tax breaks, etc) to encourage particular types of activity? Its already done with student lending, small business loans and incentives for businesses to locate somewhere. However, private enterprise can already do this, and usually will do a better job vetting ideas because they have money on the line. Ok, I'll strike #3 off the list. Once #1 is in place, the economics for clean energy are there to encourage investment.

    PAUL8756 hey bud. have you ever heard it called the watermelon movement. green on the outside red on the inside? hey i picked up pbr while it was down a bit and found they have a fertilizer division too. i owe you and STOCKACCUMULATER a beer at least. i mentioned silex which has been a wild ride but i think (hope) it is smoothing out now. ge,ccj, and a japanese power(i think) company are building a uranium enrichment plant in the states using their new technology. plus they have at least 4 more interestig projects. silicon and carbon enrichment for solar and medical use, some kind of smaller better computer chip and a couple of more things cooking. check them out sometime. i think when that new plant starts producing they will blow the old centrifugue plants out of the water. on my way to town and back i caught a little of rush. he was blistering gore with his usual good humor. these guys better watch pointing out the cooling earth. the next outcry will be the manmade ice age. got to go i am getting asphalt on my driveway.

    And we are paying...? Oh, I get it.

    Actually, I like Bespoke's stuff. I was even going to sign up with them one time, but their site insisted I use PayPal.     Reply

    Gary,

    NG can only become a substitute for oil if we decide to burn it in our vehicle fleet. And, despite Mr. Pickens best efforts, we show no signs of moving in that direction so far. Indeed, it makes such inestimable sense, barring some long term worldwide oil catastrophe, it's unlikely we ever will.

    The only thing Al Gore's worried about is catching up with his buddy Bill who's made a cool (...ha, ha!) $100 million talking nonsense since he's left the White House. Now he figures it's his turn. But it could be worse... We almost elected the idiot president.

    P.S. "Red" Greens! I love it, buddy. Thanks!

    even if the price goes down it will make it more economical to use.the price of oil simply cant be trusted in this world anymore.between spec & demand &availability it will point to gas use. Reply

    Does Al Gore Finally Get It? [view article]
    Al Gore loves the idea of global taxes. Co2, the Internet you name it. Look at Tax Preparation, a $40 Billion a year business. Imagine the U.S. government being the global tax and tax recipient? Those at the top sure would make a lot of money. Gore's admission is based on the failed, foolish dream that globalization with the U.S. being the head tax collector could occur. Blowback from Russia and China have demonstrated the world ain't buying that idea, hatched in 1994.

    I resent the mention of President Bush in the article in how it was referenced. It was like, 'yeah well Gore got it wrong but Bush is to blame'. Typical Democrat, blame the realists when the dreams of socialistic utopia evaporate!

    In 2002, the Cheney energy bill was introduced which included drilling in ANWR, offshore and an increase in coal liquification, nuclear plant builds. 92% against for Dems, 89% for Republican. You need a 60% supermajority to pass a bill. In 2004, President Bush went public, saying we needed to end our addiction to oil. Or let's bring up 1997 when ANWR was voted yay by both parties, but President Clinton vetoed it. Al Gore himself mentioned breaking the oil addiction on his election platform in 1999 and trumpeted coal liquification. So for Al to act like coal & oil are evil now just simply demonstrates his failed attempt at being the global tax collector and his entire party squarly in the camp of being looked at as loons. Meanwhile, some folks from the Sierra Club are flying around in private jets to further lobby Washington to do nothing on energy. Yeah, very bright Al Gore and Dems. The approval rating of this Congress says it all: 9%. President Bush: 23%. So the Democrats are good for nothing and the Republicans good for very little.     Reply

    OK, I'm for lowering the dependence on oil AND reducing the "greenhouse gas" known as natural gas. Since "natural gas" (methane/ethane, etc) is said to be worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, I would like to see a change from wasting our natural gas sources. Some of those sources being, refinery byproducts, landfill gas, sewer gas, swamp gas, cattle gas, frozen methane on the sea floor, etc. Since I understand CO2 is less of a threat than methane, we should catch our methane and burn it for much of our energy needs and the CO2 that is generated from that activity will be better than the methane we set free now.
