POPSAL GORE: Global Warming HYPOCRIT! Gore Figure! Gore won't downsize his energy consumption and yet wants to preach about global warming. He's only into global warming for the attention. IF he really cared or believed what he said, WHY isn't he doing more is lead the way. Talk is CHEAP. Al Gore is big fat liar...and he's put on the pounds to go with it.

POPSCourt Restores 'Roadless Rule' in National Forests A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees the Forest Service, did not tip the administration's hand, but said: "The Obama administration supports the conservation of roadless areas in our national forests, and this decision today reaffirms the protection of these resources."

POPSPelosi Shrugs Off Continued GOP Protests... Not for one minute do I believe that the Republicans are against Pelosi's last clipped comment. The difference is the lifting of the offshore drilling legislation....which Boehner, correctly, knows would past. THAT's the entire reason for this disgusting failure to complete their responsibilities before they left for their vacations. It has nothing to do with any of the other options she mentioned. This woman *wants* the economy to slide so that she can falsely lay the blame on the President and the GOP.

POPSSave water by installing foot pedals for your kitchen faucet I have been wanting to do this for SO long, but the people I mentioned it to (who are otherwise handy, hands-on sorts) all scratched their heads and said "hm, I dunno if that's possible..." Having seen a sink set up this way I knew it was. And now I have plans. Of course, we still live in a rental unit, and this is far more involved than just swapping out the shower head for a low-flow unit like we've already done. Gotta look at the steps and consider how reversable it would be.

POPS77 Highlights of Bush's first year in Office 9.

POPSGreen Politicians, Real and Fake Nicholas von Hoffman writes: As we all know there is a lot we can do before the earth is turned into a lobster pot with us playing the part of the crustaceans. We have all been told that conservation alone would make a vast difference, and we also know it means changing the way we live.

POPS"Big Talk, Little Will" - Thomas Friedman (NY Times) August 16, 2006. Friedman asking the right questions again. Here we are in the biggest struggle of our lives and we are funding both sides — the U.S. military with our tax dollars and the radical Islamists and the governments and charities that support them with our gasoline purchases

POPSThe Perils of Cheap Oil CONT'D: "When economic growth resumes across the globe, demand for oil will surge once again. Only this time around, given the constraints presented by declining oil fields and the current apparent freeze in investment in new oil production capacity, the supply-demand equation will likely send oil prices shooting back up, perhaps even further than before. "Which is why now is the time, more than ever, for government leadership that promotes conservation, energy efficiency, fuel economy, and increased production of renewable energy. Waiting until the economy recovers before tackling energy would be a huge, huge mistake."

POPSGreen Hell ~ Under Big Brother's Green Thumb Citing the tactics and goals of Green groups as explained by their own activists and leaders, Green Hell demonstrates: * How Green pressure campaigns threaten the safety of your home and your car, and public health overall * Why the election of President Obama portends a giant leap forward for coercive Green policies * Why Greens obstruct the use of all forms of energy--even the renewable sources they tout to the public * How wealthy Green elites stand to profit fabulously from the restrictions and regulations they seek to impose on the rest of us * How Green pressure campaigns are hamstringing the military and endangering our national security * Why big business is not only knuckling under to the Greens, but is aggressively promoting the green agenda to the detriment of its own stockholders * What you can do to help stop the great Green machine

POPSObama's long six months
Obama sold the country a false prospectus of easy, obvious, and almost painless change. The usual six honeymoon months have elapsed, and the country is nearly through rejoicing at the consolation that they have a president whom foreigners are unlikely to throw shoes at, and who speaks in sentences. But his own Environmental Protection Agency director acknowledges that his cap-and-trade bill will have no effect on the climate, and it will neither raise revenue nor reduce carbon use. It must be replaced with a straight carbon tax of bearable impact coupled with sensible conservation, and alternate-energy-source and oil-exploration incentives. The bill that limped through the House of Representatives was a Rube Goldberg contraption of Al Gore myths and Congressional vote-buying boondoggles. Its adoption would be a disaster. The president’s claim of putting millions of Americans to work making wind-mills and solar panels is a fable that extends the frontiers of quixotry.

POPS(No) Drill, Baby, Drill But when Costa Rica put one minister in charge of energy and environment, “it created a very different way of thinking about how to solve problems,” said Rodríguez, now a regional vice president for Conservation International. “The environment sector was able to influence the energy choices by saying: ‘Look, if you want cheap energy, the cheapest energy in the long-run is renewable energy. So let’s not think just about the next six months; let’s think out 25 years.’ ” As a result, Costa Rica hugely invested in hydro-electric power, wind and geo-thermal, and today it gets more than 95 percent of its energy from these renewables. In 1985, it was 50 percent hydro, 50 percent oil. More interesting, Costa Rica discovered its own oil five years ago but decided to ban drilling — so as not to pollute its politics or environment! What country bans oil drilling?

POPSScientists mimic Earth's spinning core They say that the strength of the Earth's magnetic field has decreased by 10% in the last 150 years. Perhaps with the scale of electricity we produce, we are draining it like a battery. Maybe gradually slowing the movement of the metal. according to the law of conservation of energy. The production of energy is not spontaneous. It is a conversion, from one form to another. The fossil fuels drive a generator, but the electricity is produced due to the magnets in a dynamo interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic energy converted to electrical energy. 26 ton Sphere full of boiling Sodium? They've disconnected the sprinklers, and the fire hoses. Humans and a 26 ton sphere full of wet sodium are better off in two different states. Sodium cracks water into caustic soda, and hydrogen with an attitude. Makes an oil fire look like a cigarette lighter. At least it's over in a flash.

POPSRush Limbaugh's 10 Most Intelligent Remarks/s 7. “We are a growing country and everybody needs energy! We're not going to stay the United States if we start reducing energy usage. Conservation is not the answer.” 8. To a black caller: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.” 9. On torture at Abu Ghraib: “This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation. And we're going to ruin people's lives over it, and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I'm talking about people having a good time, these people—you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of need to blow some team off?” 10. “Screw the world. Do you really think we ought to govern ourselves based on what the world thinks of us?”
