Instead, our illustrious leader, Obama, chose to ignore advice of industry experts, go on a personal vacation, and then, authorize only a fraction of the resources requested to handle the spill, at which point was weeks after the april 20th explosion on the BP Horizon oil rig. The Gulf residents are unimpressed by the performance of this administration. Obama didn’t even visit the gulf until six weeks after the accident.

Of particular interest about the public reaction: A CHICAGO NBC poll result shows that 80% of the CHICAGO locals are “Furious” about the President’s handling of this crisis. Okay, bear in mind Chicago is Obama’s home town, and NBC is essentially a propaganda arm of the Obama administration, and the poll STILL shows the people are furious.

NOW what’s being done seems too little and too late to save the gulf beaches, and well, let’s say, on the bright side, this should generate a lot of temporary jobs for the cleanup, which should help local economies.

CAUTION is needed at this point, not just with the technical difficulties of cleanup, but with what is bound to be a backlash against ALL energy exploration in domestic waters.

Indeed, if I were a “Greenie”, this would be my life’s dream realized. Forever more, even above the disaster of the Exxon Valdez, I will have something to point at and say, “I told you so!” every time “Big Oil” tries to do more drilling.

Be very clear. For our country’s economic health we NEED energy independence. We have to keep developing and exploring, or we will forever rely for our energy and economy on countries that overtly hate the United States of America and its interests.

The lesson learned: Do everything we can to prevent accidents. Have a plan in place to correct the inevitable accidents, and do NOT ever stop trying to become energy-independent as a nation.

Come join us In Washington DC and let your voices be heard on out-of-control government spending and taxation. We have a government that will advance its ideology at our expense. We can no longer afford new government programs. Protest is a time honored tradition, it’s time to join that tradition.

There will be two members of Carbon Phallusy attending this march. We will be protesting climate change regulation as well as the above mentioned items.

Now that we have a new president that is interested in solving the so-called problems of global warming, it’s made me start thinking once more about the electric car. Also, since we are having some of the coldest weather in recent years, I began to think about what it takes to heat that electric car.

In conventional cars with an ICE (internal combustion engine) we use waste heat from the cooling system to keep us warm in the

We have talked about hydrogen cars before. This is coming to my attention again since a friend has been experimenting with extracting hydrogen from water to increase the mileage for his truck. He has the process working, but there are some problems. The biggest is heat generation. As the water heats up, due to electrolysis, the electrical current goes up. There are ways to dissipate the heat, but that doesn’t solve the problem completely. Heat is loss, therefore lowering the efficiency of the process. The more loss of energy you have, the less chance at a successful project.
