POPSUS Approves Nuclear Deal with India compare this to the US refusal to permit Iran to have nuclear civilian technology, even thought it complies to a higher standard than India apparently. Also... India has said it retains the right to conduct nuclear tests and this: allows India to expand its nuclear power industry without requiring it to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as other nations must. And India is next door to Pakistan, where the US is worried about terrorists.

POPSWhy Americans Can't Get US Oil That last statement seems to be true. I rarely come to clipmarks that I don't see articles detailing the harm of wind, solar, nuclear, etc.

POPSVenezuela Set to Develop Nuclear Power With Russia No surprise here, but what will the US do about it as we are being encircled by our avowed enemies? Of course we can't intervene in other nations; that's so un-American. We don't want to offend anyone so we tolerate, even invite the vipers in...just like Israel.

POPSRussia Moving into U.S. Backyard Thanks to the arrogance of the Bush/Cheney foreign policy with Venezuela, we now have talk of nuclear reactors being built in Venezuela with Russia's assistance. Relations between U.S. and Venezuela have been deteriorating for years and as a result Russia is extending its reach around the world. If we had maintained better relations with Russia, this would not cause Americans much concern. But the reality is that we now have two oil rich nations trading nuclear technology and weapons that are not motivated to work with the U.S.

POPSIran on Way to Atomic Bomb Capability: El Baradei Does he think we didn't know this? Does he believe we are idiots? The IAEA has a horrible history of minimizing the facts and risks. The organization is a sham. Anyone who gave them any credibility at all had their heads stuck in the sand! It & and the UN...partners in disinformation.

POPSPutin and ties to Latin America To validate my clip on Record's clip. They are coming. And I don't think many (maybe 5 here at Clipmarks) would relish a "decrease in US global influence". Do people/the world really want Russia, Iran, Hamas, Venezuela, N. Korea etc...to be the next power alliance?

POPSPelosi 'No Energy' Bill Part of House Draft CR Why am I continually surprised by the lack of prudent, substantial, progressive *WORK* from this Congress!!?? They need to return their paychecks because they have done nothing of substance since the Dems took over with their big promises. No wonder their approval rating are in the single digits. And to think they (and others) have the gall to blame the President for every thing while they run their lying lips, sit on their hands, and play with our $$, our security, our economy, our future. Will someone please vote their behinds out!?

POPSPelosi Delivers Americans Her Poison Bill
This is the only plan that would allow the American taxpayers to receive the full $2.6 trillion in lease payments, royalties and corporate taxes that some estimate will be generated from full exploration of the OCS. But the all-of-the-above plan does not end there. It also opens up the 10.3 billion barrels of oil estimated to be in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. A 2007 study by the University of California estimated that leases and royalties from ANWR would generate $251 billion in government and state revenue — and that was assuming a barrel of oil cost $53. Oil opens at $102 a barrel today. Alternative energy is not ignored either. The Republican plan also attempts to improve energy conservation with tax credits for businesses and families who purchase more fuel-efficient vehicles. Barriers to the revival of the nuclear power industry are removed, and the tax credits for renewable energy (including but not limited to wind, solar and hydrogen) are part of the plan.

POPSMemo to President Obama 2010 Politically, we have not seen the benefits of a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. It seems that every Democratic Senator has decided that if you could become President they could too. Considering that they are all more qualified than you, all of them are now also running for President - with the exception of Senator Schumer, who seems to be running for the position of God. He believes that is his appropriate pay grade, since no one else has it.
