Lindsey Waggner exposed that there is plent of Oil in the North Slope and Gull Island to keep the US going for over 300 years.Not one drop of that oil is comming into this country. However he has been threatened to be killed and his family killed also. Plenty of Oil in the US. It is unfortunate that we are in this delema but you have allot of people trying to control and manipulate everyone - we have to research everything today and not take anything for granted.

North Dakota Oil fields. A new Pipe line comming in from Canada into Iowa for a new refinery.

We have had repercussions of the Clinton / Gore Whitehouse in the restrictions that they imposed on the Energy Business - Ethanol which is no good for any body( Big SCam) See Robert Bryce .

Expensive Chemical's that are put into the fuels that Clinton & Gore made mandatory and nobody said a word.

It appears that everyone is a sleep at the wheel -

Here's a VERY interesting video related to this topic called The Energy Non-Crisis by Lindsey Williams. I learned A LOT from it and now it all makes sense to me why despite all their talk, the Congress will probably never approve anything that would make us Energy Independent.

I strongly suspect that the answer to the oil crisis will not be coming from the U.S. Corporate structure, since they seem to like a monolithic big government answer to everything, which the current oil company system of power is.

I suspect that the answer has already been found, but it is not being used, because the components have not come together yet. Solar energy had a major breakthrough recently when it was discovered that the current crop of photo-voltaic devices or solar cells could be made vastly more productive with mirrors directing light into a focused area, so more power could be made with less technology output.

Another piece of the puzzle may be that if you run a AC electric current through a flat surface, like a road, you can induce power in a vehicle traveling that road, so that the vehicle charges its battery as it drives. Combine that road, powered by the solar power, and night time batterys charged during the day by overflow power by the solar cells, and you have a way to keep Tesla cars, which do exist and have a 200 mile range on their cars NOW, and you have a vehicle that can be driven anywhere, without ever running out of power.

In areas where solar power is not workable, you can power the electric roads with wind power, geothermal power, or ocean movement power for coastal roads, since a teenager invented a device, like a floating bouy with a motor that charges a battery each time the waves move the bouy up and down.

If you can build a electric car like Tesla, with all the bells and whistles, you can build trucks ant other things working on the same principles.

No shale oil used. No "freeze in the dark, Jimmy Carter sweater wearing" conservation which would require eventual human extinction to work effectively. No oil companies stripping us of clean air, water, and money to buy ever increasingly expensive shale oil.

Will these innovations happen. No. the "Cattle' would not need the power elite if this happened.

The best solution would be to setup onsite small scale nuclear reactors of an advanced design (they already exist) that would inject superheated air into a fractured shale bed to perform an in situ process of removal of the oil or use the same heat source to process the mined product. Natural gas is too valuable, and expensive to perform the same task and the superheated air would in great likelihood negate the transfer product, superheated water and the volitiles carried with it that would contaminate aquigifers. The experiments to date with copper heaters has not gone too well. The heaters are expensive and prone to breakdown at depth. Direct transfer of heat would be more efficient than generating electricity from an energy sourece and sending it down the shaft to a heater.

I agree with Karen L. -"not to return any incumbent to office". May be it's time for all voters - irrespective of their political beliefs - not to vote for the sitting member.

Be this at local, state and federal elections. This would greatly affect the heavyweight lobbying of "Big Oil" and "Big Pharma" from gaining traction.

"DON'T VOTE FOR THE SITTING MEMBER".

Ah, such a quandry we find ourselves in. So many arguments...It should be clear:

"I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step." Jeramiah 10:23

Only God's Kingdom will permantly solve and put an end to the problems mankind faces and, in fact, has had a hand in creating.

Respectfully,

American cars are designed to get bad gas mileage. The primary tool for this is the car's computer. Try making modification that have been proven to increase mileage and your car's computer will counteract the modification. But there are ways around the car's computer. One, buy an older car that does not have a computer and use the information from the web sites below. For newer cars check out the first web site below. Some researchers have gotten 2X to 10X the mileage. What to know how to increase mileage? Check out the following web sites:

@Molly:

I agree with the passion behind your statement. A few things to consider though... read up on the Project for a New American Century to see who's behind our current administration and what their plans are. Oil shale as already been attempted... it would have been in use if we had the technology. Do you really think the United States, in it's war hungry Roman Empire-esque phase, would really be buying mid-east oil if they had an efficient way to use it's own?! Do you think Washington really cares what the next flashy building in Dubai looks like? Trust me, they're rather be able to get to oil shale if they could in an efficient manner. And yes, the Colorado River is VERY important to the US. Polluting it is like pointing a loaded gun to one of your limbs. Yes, we have things like the Internet, we have perfected the wheel, and we can isolate antioxidants and sell em in a pill so we don't need to go around gathering and storing berries. However, there are many things that have NOT changed in the last few thousand years. We're still a global society that needs irrigation. Bottom line. And the Colorado River has many applications. Polluting it, again, isn't the smartest thing in the world. That is why they want to take their time and get the science right.

Has anybody noticed those huge chunks of rock in the sky that keep getting closer every time they pass by? Global cooling in the

'70s--we know where that went. Global warming in the two-thousand zeros--we can guess where it's going. So what's next, Global annihilation in the '20s? You folks should read 'Worlds in Collision' by Immanuel Velikovsky (pub. circa 1950). Yeah, I know. He's been labeled a wacko. But it is an entertaining read, and he may be closer to the truth than most folks will admit. Anyway, when you're done reading it sit back, have a few drinks, eat a little, consume a little tobacco (if you indulge) and enjoy your life. Because when all is said and done, you're gonna die anyway.

Look up some info on how much oil is in northern Alaska and central Neveda. It is staggering. This shale is something on the side to last us through and throughout each year as well as something to trade to other countries. Like chrissd said: November 23, 2007 said, this is true.

The same is true for global warming. tens of thousands of jobs depend on this sham. It was warmer in the middle ages than it is now. More CO2 comes from the oceans and volcanoes than humans. Temperature all depends on that big fiery disc in the sky, the sun. For more info, look up the Great Global Warming Swindle on video.google.com as well as this witty and informative video called The History of Oil-both a must see, trust me.

Discovered, "Alcohol can be a Gas" by David Blume. Blume details an Ethanol world that is very environmentally responsible when compared to alternatives. The technology is here, NOW! Post 1985 autos can use a blend of 50/50 Gasohol, stretching our supplies into the future. As FE standards rise to catch up with E.U. and elsewhere, we can see a shift to E-85 using a fraction of oil for transport.

The method of profitably yielding Ethanol is within a healthy agricultural process called Permaculture.

Blume answers all the complaints about Corn to alcohol not being energy efficient in terms on return on energy invested.

There is no reason to worry about environment or energy availability. Energy is all around us, if we but remove the subsidies to Big oil and elsewhere and institute court reform to punish those who pollute, the answer will be Permaculture. Oh, I almost forgot to mention Organic foods are a big part of Permaculture.

Anyone like a win-win situation?

As a native of Western Colorado I am aware of the destruction of the west that is taking place. This area has 168 rigs currently in a 50 mile radius, injecting toxins into drilling sites. Toxic chemical spills have occurred, roads into areas that have never seen a human, bears on drilling sites, deer poached and hit and killed, damage to any and all the vegetation for wildlife. Drilling wells every 10 acres. Wake up - this has been the biggest land grab since the Louisiana Purchase by oil/gas companies.

From this point forward instead of mapping out Colorado, Wyoming, Utah - you would be better served to map out property owned/controlled by Shell Oil, Encana, Williams, EOG, Gunnison Energy,..... this is not America folks this is 'Oil/Gas Land'. And you have nothing to say about what they do. They have bought out numerous ranches bought up every inch of ground and more important - Shell has bought up as much water rights as they can get their hands on.

Their so called 'Mahagony Project' (INSITU) is to anyone with a brain a disaster waiting to happen. The 'freeze walls' have been a failure already - they can not drill straight enough to get a wall of frozen earth. Then they are going to heat it until it will melt shale to recover it. Do you see how absolutely 'stupid' this idea is? Melt the center - frozen around it and then turn off the freeze wall when they are done - can you see the damage and toxins running into the water system, not only this - this area is being drilled for natural gas. Ok so we have a very hot area in the middle of a cold area that is not attainable at this point and gas pockets. Do you see a problem here folks.

All of this is BS. We have had the technology for 50 years to get 100 mpg but the oil/gas companies along with the car companies are not going to let that technology on the market - watch "Who killed the Electric Car."

Bush & Company stole the west and will destroy it. We have geothermal, solar, and other options -

Well Ms Health Chick you are certainly the exception. Not to get into a big enviro-bash here but I've yet to see Ed Begley or other enviro-whackos make any serious proposals. All I see is a lot of political posturing. Where were have all the MBA enviros been since the 1970's? How many proposal have they made? How many photos ops have they used to bring in new technology that we know already exists? Yeah exactly my point.......First it was the ice age oh my gosh we gonna fweeze...brrrr......now it's oh my gosh we gonnah sweat and lose 50 pizza pounds off our fat asses.......sob...sob.......!!! The enviros only have displayed one tactic and it's emotional drivel. How come they are not treated as terrorist when the place spike into trees to stop forest management? Or when they create an unsafe boating condition to save a whale? I submit that both parties the political and enviros are complicit in squeezing out the middle class and THEY are BOTH succeeding. We are wasting our time bickering among ourselves while the the parties are sitting on the balcony sipping bourbon and smoking a nice Cuban cigar......

From Dec07/Jan08 issue of Mother Earth News, page 8 "Why Solar Power is Our Best Solution

ENERGY CAPTURED (kilowatts per acre)

Ethanol (from corn, etc.) 3-4

Wind Turbines 12-16

Photovoltaics 240-730

Concentrating solar 1,600

The US Dept of Energy estimates that installing CDP plants on 9% of the Southwestern deserts could produce enough electricity to meet the needs of the entire US.
