President Barack Obama made news on The Today Show when he talked
about kicking some ass over the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. If he is interested in punishing those responsible for what is shaping up as one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history, he should think about giving himself a boot. While BP is ultimately responsible for the spill (and for cleaning it up), the federal government is a major player in the problem for at least three reasons: http://reason.com/blog/2010/06/10/re...ns-why-obama-s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Quk0tb2qUwY |

You using a computer makes it your fault as well. As well as you drinking anything from any plastic container and using any one of a multitude of products that would not exist if not for crude oil. There would not even be an asphalt road for you to ride your little bicycle on if not for crude oil. Even the greenest of greenies utilize crude oil in one form or another dozens of times on any given day. |

Here at work, we have a large array over the parking lot that supplies a bunch of energy to our complex every day, rain or shine, and it's prtety efficient. I don't know the manufacturer, but I could find out. Extra to run back to the grid, too. That meter turns backwards starting shortly after sunrise and won't quit all day. Our land use policies encourage solar on every rooftop and parking lot around. We're looking for ways to subsidize those as much as possible. I have been given to understand that Alameda County, as an entity, uses a higher ratio of solar energy than any other County in the U.S. - but that may have changed. We're trying :-) At home, my not-too-distant future intent is to get a substantial solar panel on the rooftop, maybe even a small wind turbine to augment. We're breezy enough here so that such a system would be worthwhile. I'd have to think about a storage battery or fuel cell. Maybe a compressed air storage system? There are some other technologies coming around too. I'm a big fan of Thorium nuclear, which is going to be coming aboard in India, China, maybe France in the next few years. Working prototypes have been around for decades, some industries use small versions right now. Much less troublesome than U or Pu nuclear in every respect, and plenty of fuel for hundreds of years - until we get Fusion working. Bruce Jensen |

Bruce Jensen ****Hey Blow Job Jensen, STFU! WTF! Big f%cking deal your laptop runs on "solar". STFU BJ. And your meter runs backwards all day "selling back into the grid". STFU! We all know one thing for sure, YOU DIDN't PAY for any of it so shut your pie hole. Yea, I'm sure you are going to rush right out and buy a gigantic solar panel for your roof and a wind turbine to supplement it, you @$$ H%LE! |
