There is an inference in the authors article that we could shut down coal plants and start natural gas. Do that and figure out how demand drives the price of natural gas in a few years let alone the future reduction in gas reserves.

If you read factcheck reasonably carefully a definite bias can be observed. Wait a while and we may be able to decern the truth.

You need to read the article again and understand what Mr. Lifton is saying.

There are no provisions for an audit of the gold.

This fund is apparently controlled by the same big bankers in need of a baleout.

And then we have Madoff and others. So my mind wanders to what happens in a crisis.]]> Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:06:58 -0500

Its easy to blame Bush but I think Franks and Waxman are both do nothings until it hits the fan. Then they, along with many others, go into political gear. Its time the country evolved by working on long term policy for economic, energy and other issues to dovetail into good public policy.

At present we are suffering for having a bunch of lawyers run the country. There is a need for a new group in Congress that will pay attention and quickly react according to conditions.

Environmental pressures are being placed and steadily increased on mining companies. Over my lifetime we have gone from mine and leave to the use of reclaiming and water treatment. Thats progress.

But taking your argument farther should we also say no more development of cities - they encroach on nature and create probably far more environmental damage. There is and will be an ever better balance.

I think it is better that mining should take place where there is an environmental conscience. Should we mine at a third world site where the conscience is considerably less?]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 12:42:58 -0400

In a geology course some years ago I was told that at one time the glaciers were something like a mile thick on the US/Canadian border. The absolute thickness does not really matter - its the idea that a few thousand feet of ice has melted over a long period of time. It continues to melt.

A warming and cooling process has produced several ice ages. Remember there is coal and oil deposits in the arctic, antarctic and over most of the earth. The formation of these compounds requires a warm tropical climate.

There is a repetitve cycle that is so long that most of the human race cannot comprehend. I understand the talk about ways to make the atmosphere better but lets not get people all lathered up about the horrors of seas rising and other such things. Its going to happen no matter what the human race does - until mother nature decides to change the story.]]> Mon, 14 Apr 2008 11:37:13 -0400

Regulations are needed but it seems the directors and senior management made money for years and now get to walk away with a lesser amount of money than they could have with proper oversite but still very substantial sums of money. I agree with the previous comment about who made the money when the price was raised from $2.00 per share. Oh to be a fly on the wall.]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2008 17:30:44 -0400
