Guess what. Your fools if you believe it. Lets just look at this patriotic shit, you know what the cute lady or the so-called geologist in the other add says, it's ours, lets get at it, and use it here cause it's clean, not like dirty ole king coal, no sir'eee it's clean low priced and we don't give nasty old dictators money just so we stay warm this winter.
Yesterday BG Group and Cheniere Energy formed a gas gang and signed a 20 year deal for billions to export the fruit of thousands of soon to be fracked wells. Oh, and this will mean the price of gas will not be going down and may go up, supply/demand rules. Oh, and this means we will not be cutting back on imports of energy but instead bringing one in and sending one out in a kind of freight shuffle cluster fuck. Oh, and this confirms we have been listening to pure propaganda. Oh, and this means you tax dollars to subsidize the fossil fuel industry is once again leaving the millionaires and oil tycoons rolling on the floor in laughter at what they are getting away with.
OK, now do you buy the other half of what these crooks are selling, that it is completely safe, no one ever got funky smells or foul water from living near one of these wells? I know some of you buy that, I don't.
P.S. That Keystone Canadian tar sands pipeline to Houston, thats safe too you know, and will lower gasoline prices, will keep us from buying from pricks too. Well one of the two firms that are at the end of the pipe also made a deal, told its stockholders 40% or better was already sold to export. Why the hell do we pipe it across the US to ship it out the other side, Canada could pipe it to their coast for that, it's closer. Well, again, those guys are rolling on the floor holding their sides, cause it's tax free, it ends in a bonded export zone, plus the pipe has so many give aways in it I can't understand when the drug gangs are going figure out they cam make as much stealing through the fossil fuel scam, and not go to jail for it.
It's almost Orwellian to watch those commercials touting the benefits of "clean coal" or "environmentally clean natural gas". What's amazing is that even when homeowners have video evidence of flaming water, the gas industry won't admit to EVEN ONE DAMAGED WELL.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the nuke industry isn't on-board with their own "safe as can be!" ad campaigns to promote their product, while downplaying that mess over in Japan.
These gas companies, and the Rick Perrys of the world who endorse their particular brand of poison are merchants of evil. Nothing less.
Squatlo,
ReplyDeleteYou forgot, Fuck Rick Perry. Flaming water, no, can't happen here.
Valero, that's one of the refinery on the Gulf coast that said they will be exporting nearly half of what gushes out of the pipe.
I sure wish I had some start-up capital. (I would start a truly clean and green energy company.)
ReplyDeleteNAC I wish you did to man. The more the better.
ReplyDeleteI saw an article about some neighborhood solar panels in some city. They pool the money, set up a collection of panels and like a mini utility company cable the power to the near by homes and shops.
A new study says the western states could produce enough from PV to power the whole of the mountain/pacific states, and they could install it all within 4 or 5 years if they wanted to.
