POPSFacts About US Energy How long are we going to allow our government to prohibit us from accessing our OWN ENERGY? Heck all this talk about the economy and yet we let billions and billions of dollars sit in the ground while we ship our money to other countries to buy their resources that they are more than happy to sell. WAKE UP AMERICA before we are all living in the DARK LITERALLY!

POPSA perfect storm's brewing to cool petroleum demand There's not so much incentive to invest in exploration, lots of incentive to keep the price of existing supplies as high a possible. The key on price is not really supply, but must be based on what people can afford to pay.

POPS Dear Barack: Does Your Chrysler 300C Get 35.5 MPG? ...The Obama administration claims the new measures will save 1.8 billion barrels of oil over seven years. But that claim assumes new-car buying habits continue unabated and that people will want to buy expensive, tiny cars. If people instead elect to purchase bigger, cheaper used vehicles, there will be no reduction in consumption; those used vehicles are the same "guzzlers" we're driving today. The fuel economy gains we might have seen with reasonable mileage targets for new vehicles won't be realized if fewer new vehicles are sold. Worse, the auto industry will continue to shrink because of the decrease in new-vehicle sales.

POPS Greenhouse Gas Emissions Decrease By 2.8% The House is expected to pass the measure later this year, but its outlook in the Senate is uncertain. "If opponents of the House climate-change bill want to reduce pollution through unemployment and the economic decline, then that's their choice," said Daniel J. Weiss, director of climate strategy at the liberal Center for American Progress. Mr. Weiss said he would not be surprised if global-warming emissions remain stable this year, but predicted they would rebound next year along with the economy. Other climate scholars said the House's climate-change bill could itself prevent the economy from rebounding. "The lesson to learn is that a decline in emissions is caused by a recession and the bill aims to force a permanent recession," said Ben Lieberman, a senior energy and environment analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation. "As long as the economy shrinks, so will carbon emissions."

POPSEnergy Nonsense In an April 4 Newsweek guest editorial, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu also proved that -- his Nobel Prize notwithstanding -- common sense and rudimentary knowledge are lacking. First he did not offer one sentence on securing the 87 percent of energy supplies that the US needs other than to discuss “advanced biofuels.” Not to be outdone in slogan-style exaggeration, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar chimed in...Salazar, the Wall Street Journal reported, “raised eyebrows when he said offshore wind farms could replace 3,000 coal-fired plants.” Never mind that the US only has 600 of them. He also claimed that offshore wind in the Atlantic could deliver 1,000 gigawatts of capacity – approximately equal to the entire electric generation capacity of the US...Salazar’s statement should raise a lot more than eyebrows.
