How will Big Oil Lobbyist try to prevent an Energy Bill from passing?

electric — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:01:37 +0000

1. Will they say that there are Death Panels in the Energy Bill?

2. Will they say Clean Energy is the same as pulling the plug on Grandma, because she has been used to smell of Oil and Gas, and that her lungs could not handle fresh air.

3. Will they say that it will destroy jobs, because the Big Oil Companies will not make as many profits if people start using Solar, Wind and Nuclear Power to heat their homes and businesses. and if people start driving Electric Cars.

If you plug your care into the wall outlet, wouldn’t you be paying a high electricity bill, but saving on gas?

Also, if your local plant is a coal burning plant, would the extra electricity use equate to increase coal emissions? Where is the green benefit in that? Where is the money saving benefits?
sorry Car not Care.

Wouldn’t having an electric car send your electricity bill through the roof?

I guess I am not green enough to understand–the purpose of the electric car is to make the world a better place. Would getting a car that runs all on electricity cost you a lot for your electricity bill? I didn’t know if it was something you had to plug in, like an electric golf cart. In the end, wouldn’t you pay more for electricity then gas. Explain.

How do I pay my Green Mountain Energy bill on line?

I have Green Mountain Energy for my home electricity and cannot find how I can pay my bill on-line.

On the news a bill was put forth to have Power Co. produce part of its electricity through solar, good or bad?

electric — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 12:03:47 +0000

The Democrat Congressman has this bill but the Republican Governor veto it. Gov. says it cost to much and does not produce enough jobs.
Everytime the Democrats come up with something the Republicans say NO. Where are their programs??

how will the spending bill help those that are not affiliated with construction or schools?

electric — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 21:51:32 +0000

The operative words are “Not Affiliated”

I undestand business, but why target so much spending on only one facet of the GDP?

So are we all suppose to clamer for the construction workers dollar and just hope he doesn’t send it to his home country?

GI Bill, how does it work?

electric — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 00:46:39 +0000

I joined the carpenter’s union in May of 2006. I met a guy who was in the Navy and he told me I can use my GI Bill while I am in the apprenticeship program. I live in Las Vegas, and I’m not sure what the rates are, no one can give me an estimate, does anyone here know approximately what I would be getting monthly? How long does it usually take to process and do you get back paid? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Can Anybody Find Anything But Hot Air In The Climate Bill?

electric — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:04:46 +0000

This question is asked sincerely by a lifelong enviro. A supporter of Al Gore. But this bill appears to have been written by the coal companies based on 25 year old ideas, many of which were accepted by G.W. Bush the Moron President.
The whole idea of the market based solution — the cap and trade solution — making a market in pollution permits — maybe having them brokered through a firm like Enron — which I think did actually broker some of these permits for a while — that idea is 25 years old. It is not change. It’s just slapdash legislation based on making the old dregs by bygone ideas look like a new bill by updating the year and putting a new cover on it. It’s like the old news that CBS, NBC, and ABC purvey — stuff from a few weeks ago — offered today as your “news”.
Nobody in America is willing to do any part of their job anymore. It’s a nation of AWOL officials and AWOL staffers and AWOL employees.
If they wanted a real climate bill, they would have included funding for the hydrogen technology. Ways to electrolytically dissociate water efficiently. Ways to store hydrogen efficiently. Ways to burn hydrogen in fuel cells, or in turbines (possibly combined with methane to make hythane (R).
There would have been a huge push for the sorts of thing T. Boone Pickens is recommending. Natural gas powered trains would have been in the mix — and transcontinental tracks for same on the median strips of East West Highways.
Geothermal would have played a huge role. It is a very rich power source in some places, always on, not like solar or wind. Hawaii could power all seaborne freight in the Pacific with Geothermal based Hydrogen Fuel Cell Gas.
Tidal Hydro would have been in the bill.
Micro-scale wind generators (egg-beater style) would have beeb there.
The National Energy Spine (super efficient cable from coast to coast) would have been there. This creates conservation by allowing energy to be wheeled from coast to coast so peak loads can be met with cheap energy on both coasts.
Instead we get the ancient mantra “Let’s find a market based solution (that way G.W. Bush The Moron President, and the Republicans can be happy). No breakthroughs please! No movement away from fossil fuels, and certainly no less coal or oil! We’ll just do this with financial manipulations, sort of Enron style, with pollution permits, create a playground for the K Street lobbyists, make it look like we are doing something because what we do is so complicated administratively.That way we can do nothing — and nobody will know.
With or without cap and trade the carbon footprint of the energy plants was bound to be legislatively reduced in future years. Cap and trade just bring Federal Pre-emption and knocks out the states ability to legislate on this matter. It’s a form of state legal dis-ablement. It’s a form of permission to just keep on keeping on — more of the same.
The climate bill looks like a 100% perfect fraud, from the gitgo. Mr. Axelrod thinks it has a fairly good chance in the Senate because of the writing changes that were made at the last minute in the House, and on this he’s probably right. Coal can see when it has a good deal. The whole issue now will be off the table for the next 10 or 15 years, and there are 10,000 ways that the “caps” can be removed or made more lenient, triggered by all sorts of extremely complex micro-pico-nano regulations that only the coal companies have time to figure out and understand and know how to lobby with. They can get out of the caps. They get a vacation for 15 years. They get out from under state laws. Whee ! … this pollution stuff is easy!
All politicians are politicians. Nature is always Nature. So the Canute story is always apt. The vanity and the lies and the fraud never actually trumps nature, so you can count of on the climate to keep warming up and the CO2 levels to keep going up and the sea level and storm damage to keep going up. If we truly wish to stop being a hypocrite nation, we’ve got to get rid of all politicians. Put a truly independent agency in charge of climate change mitigation — something like the Federal Reserve or the FCC or the NRC — it’s got to be able to make and implement rules smoothly and quickly. It’s got to be run by Chairmen with long terms of office, at least 10 years, 15 would be better. The Chairman has to be mission focused, not politics focused. If can’t get around the Canute Problem (The problem that wise King Canute taught his ministers about based upon knowing that Politics never trumps Nature)., we can’t deal with the climate change issue. This new bill, is just more hot air. Maybe you can find something in it and tell me about what you think is there. Anyhow that’s my question, asked by a true blue enviro, an AlGorista (with rhythm, hence an algorhythm, I’m a poet, I know it, float like a butterfly effect, sting like a karma-effect).
