Mellifluously Obysmal
B. Hussein mellifluously stroked our egos by informing us that we aren’t stupid enough to believe that we could reduce soaring gas prices by lifting his senseless restrictions on oil drilling. However, at least one alleged American appears to be stupid enough to believe that farcical green energy boondoggles will provide 80% of our energy by 2035.
Graphic compliments of Zappatrust. Tip from Chris.
A guy who owns a company that produces? algae called Rush today to talk about the state of the technology for making fuel from pond scum. It is theoretically possible but require such massive amounts of pond scum and would be so prohibitively expensive it would equal paying $200-300 per gallon of gas.
Better forget that and just inflate your tires and get a tune up.

NY Congresswoman admits “we are not looking to the constitution” for authority to order contraception for all. Another townhall smackdown.

Yet, despite this ambitious objective, the malignant Obama administration will not get out of the way of the development of next generation nuclear.
By 2035, hmmm, let’s think about that. We have to wait let’s see now it’s 2012, take away … that’s 23 years! Who the hell is interested in trying to wait 23 years ofr skittles powered transportation and electricity to survive?!?!?! Get over yourself Odumbass! Wake up America!
‘Obysmal’… lol. Man, I’m so gonna use that. President Obysmal has a ring to it, no?
Meanwhile, limousine liberal Chuck Schumer has an energy plan – beg the Saudis to pump more
“The American people aren’t stupid”.
Yeah, I believed that too… until B. Hussein Obama was elected President in 2008!
On the whole algae issue – the place where it makes sense is that you can grow algae using the waste heat from conventional powerplants to help the process, then you harvest and burn the algae as supplemental fuel. It increases the efficiency of the powerplant somewhat, but will not end our need for fossil fuels.
If anything, it looks like people are becoming MORE, not LESS dependent on fossil fuels.
A growing number of people are traveling really long distances to work.
Researchers call them “super-commuters.” Many of them travel hundreds of miles from their homes to work. They take a combination of cars, planes, trains and buses to get from home to the office.
New York University’s Rudin Center for Transportation reports from 2002 to 2009 the number of super-commuters grew in eight of the 10 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. They grew in the Philadelphia area by more than 50 percent during that period.
The growth of super-commuters has occurred not just on the East Coast, but in cities such as Seattle and Houston, which had the greatest increase. The typical super-commuter is under 29 and more likely to be in the middle class.
The super-commuter is defined as someone who works in the central county of a given metropolitan area, but lives beyond the boundaries of that metropolitan area.
(The exception would be the telecommuter, who stays at home and works out of their home office using a computer or other modern devices.)
Are we sure lao is REALLY from Canada and not from Fort Worth, TX? I mean, this guy sounds a lot like him!
A sinister turn against what was promised.
The Obama administration, which promised during its transition to power that it would enhance “whistle-blower laws to protect federal workers,” has been more prone than any administration in history in trying to silence and prosecute federal workers.
The Espionage Act, enacted back in 1917 to punish those who gave aid to our enemies, was used three times in all the prior administrations to bring cases against government officials accused of providing classified information to the media. It has been used six times since the current president took office. Jake Tapper, the White House correspondent for ABC News, pointed out that the administration had lauded brave reporting in distant lands more than once and then asked, “How does that square with the fact that this administration has been so aggressively trying to stop aggressive journalism in the United States by using the Espionage Act to take whistle-blowers to court?”
He then suggested that the administration seemed to believe that “the truth should come out abroad; it shouldn’t come out here.”
In case after case, the Espionage Act has been deployed as a kind of ad hoc Official Secrets Act, which is not a law that has ever found traction in America, a place where the people’s right to know is viewed as superseding the government’s right to hide its business.
To replace 17% of our fuel usage (as they claim to do) it will take an area the size of South Carolina to hold the pond scum. Perhaps we could just use LA, San Fransissy, Chicago, etc. They’re already filled with scum so startup should be easy.
Feel free to respond to queries to you in other threads bobby.
‘The American people aren’t stupid.’
Well I have proof that 52% of them are.
Feel free to write in English, Lao.
To help poor Belfast that would be the two previous open threads and the “slimes” thread.
“The super-commuter is defined as someone who works in the central county of a given metropolitan area, but lives beyond the boundaries of that metropolitan area.”
In other words, work in the big city, live in the country, pay rural country tax rates.
BTW, when will Air Force 1 convert to burning pond scum?
Since the individual in Fort Worth is now in prison I doubt that he is is able to post. Since Lao is posting it is most unlikely that he is that piece of dung. You don’t have to agree with Lao but those sort of comments simply are insulting without adding to the debate.

But remember Bob, most of them that voted for B. Hussein were dead or Disney charcters…

Oil company profits are fodder for the evening news or newspaper. According to Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny, oil company profits are about eight to nine cents for every dollar’s worth of gasoline sold at the pump. Oil companies pay outlandish federal and state corporate taxes. The US government makes more profits on gas than do the oil companies. Tax revenue generated from gasoline sales is used to impose even more authority on and from other energy sources and industries.
Biofuels are a joke. Ethanol is much less efficient when used as a gasoline blend. Corn is taken out of food and agrcultural production and placed into energy production. What were once fields of wheat, rice and soy are now corn, where supposedly it has higer profit margins for ethanol use, if not for increased tarrifs on importation of ethanol. Ethanol is corrosive, meaning that pipeline transportation is out of the equation, and thus must be delivered to processing plants by tanker truck or rail transport, which in turn uses more fossil based fuels. Processing and fermenting require massive amounts of energy. `
It’s the laws of physics. According to Levin’s Associated Press article he quotes in chapter eight, the total equivilent of three gallons of gasoline are required to produce four gallons of ethanol.
All of this is imposed by the Statist. If cars and trucks are required to get better gas milage, something has to give. Ethanol and ethanol blends are not as efficient as gasoline alone. So, something has to give. Engines are probably just about as efficeinent as they are going to get. Once again, the laws of physics takes over. In order to get more effcieny per class of any vehicle, auto makers will have to lighten the load–decrease mass–by making vehicles lighter, thus increasing efficiency and gas milage. Less mass means more injuires and deaths due to smaller, lighter cars. Where there once was sheet metal, is now polymers of plastic.
So, it’s agreed, Americans are not stupid. Only the majority of American voters who drank the Kool-Aid and voted for Obysmal are stupid. The rest of us know better.
the answer is to EXCISE TAX gasoline and diesel-fuel exports at 100%…
America IS because of cheap transportation….the original housing bubble burst was a direct result of
an increase in the cost of transportation which depleted the operating reserve of the ‘middle-class’ and small business….which led to the foreclosure/
debacle which led to the Wall Street squeese that exposed the derivative con/scam the dollar /Fed Scam and now the Obama Depression/hyper inflation/deflation
pump and dump with his political cronies/banker/elite buddies…….
we’re soooooo screwed.
Dan, I’m afraid you should review all the chaos that your tax suggestion would bring to the American market place. That sort of thing has been done before and the effects are pernicious and opposite to what you think will happen.
Our gasoline prices are sitting on the underlying cost of a barrel of oil delivered to a refinery in the US. The rest of the cost is determined by how efficiently we can crack a barrel. Taxes are moot as they land evenly on any source of the gasoline when it goes to the pump.
The WORLD demand for oil and fuel is ramping up and yet our domestic and the world wide supply of oil is not matching it. That and political chaos from suppliers like Iran, etc. cause panic pricing. We’re only exporting refined products because currently the economy sucks to badly we do not have the normal demand. In point of fact they had to shut down a number of refineries because net profit for cracking heavy crude went negative.
