Alec.... what a terrible thing it is to lose one's mind...... No wonder Kim Basinger took their daughter and got the hell away from him!

[lowbridge]

All actors, all "celebrities" can drop dead tomorrow morning as far as I'm concerned. The world would still exist and function without any of them.

Wait a second here.

There are quite a few of them that I would like to sleep with. Then we can dispose of them.

Ohh! The comments at HuffPo are a riot!

Over here in the UK we are having one of the mildest winters for years after the hottest year since 1659.

At this moment, heavy rain is causing flooding across the country, we know that global warming is for real...how much more evidence before someone at the top of US Government acknowledges this?

All those 1659 SUV's must have really been a problem

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Lieberman needs to go to the shed. For a very long time. Gotta get his mind, right. And when he comes out, ask him, "Are you a Democrat, Joe? Or aren't you?"

So Baldwin is clearly in favor of mind control techniques that involve violence to advance his own personal agenda. Got it.

[Tenyaka]

Thank God for Teddy.

Wait. Maybe Alec has it right - we should send Ted Kennedy to Iraq and make the terrorists ride in the car with him driving. They have bridges in Iraq, don't they?

[lowbridge]

I heard William Wallace of Scotland drove a Hummner. :-)

[mylife]

You know what always astounds me?
The fact that the same idiots that whine about how poor people are in other countries wish do deny them coming into the modern age. If only we could keep them as "well fed" african bushmen or chinese peasants the world would be so pleasant for idiots like baldwin

L0L These folks are delusional

Pull the plug he is brain dead. Unfortunately there are a scary number of moonbats who will listen to him and believe this drivel.

"I offer a patriotic fantasy for all of my fellow Americans today, on this 4th of July. It's a fantasy, so bear with me. I am in a large apartment complex. I turn a corner, and there are a couple of Muslim men wearing headsets, whispering tersely into the microphone. Suddenly, one man erupts and says, "Where is the car? Where is the car? You fool!" They sprint off down the hall. At that instant, Osama Bin Laden comes out of a door. He is oblivious. I make my move. Bin Laden reacts, but too late. We tumble into his upper floor suite. I have him in my grasp and, conveniently, I spy a box cutter on the table. (Hey...it's a fantasy.) Osama struggles, swearing at me in his native tongue, until I jam the box cutter into his neck. I do it again. Fading, Bin Laden says (this time in English for my benefit) "Good luck with '30 Rock'. I am a big Tina Fey fan." I gather up the body of the world's most notorious terrorist and hurl it over the balcony. Then, in the final stroke of luck, Bin Laden lands on Dick Cheney."

The idiot truly wrote this on the huffington post. It's the drugs, the wealth and the delusion of power.

I would like to take Awec to the shed and when he comes out ask him if his is an American or a Commie Domoratic traitor?

only in a fantasy or a hollywood script

And that would be who.......? (Not knowing your gender Mr. or Ms. Bridge)

[lowbridge]

And that would be who.......?

Let's start with all the Playboy Playmates of the last 5 years...

Mr. Bridge. :-)

Thanks. I admire your ambition and stamina.

Ah, to be younger and stronger.

[ZULU]

Alec Baldwin is a mental case. He should be in a padded cell somewhere. I just hope he really goes ballistic and the men in the white coats come and pick him up at a Democrat political rally.

So ....... let’s see folks. Alec Baldwin wrote in HuffnPuff: “Our country must lead the way in global energy strategies that will, somehow, convince countries like China not to spend decades to come burning trillions of tons of fossil fuels to grow their economies in the way we did. It is the most important work we can do now, on par with "fighting terrorism."

Well, well, I happen to have read a great deal on the supply of oil from a fine Cornell Professor Thomas Gold a while back who said the very same thing: "Our country must lead the way in global energy strategies that will, somehow, convince countries like China not to spend decades to come burning trillions of tons of fossil fuels to grow their economies in the way we did. It is the most important work we can do now, on par with "fighting terrorism.""

By the way, it looks like dear Alec got his words above DIRECTLY from this

http://www.the7thfire.com/Politics%20and%20History/peak_oil/is_peak_oil_a_myth.htm ---- down near the bottom of the article where it reads:

” In a 1999 paper written by Thomas Gold on Recharging of oil and gas fields he states:”Our country must lead the way in global energy strategies that will, somehow, convince countries like China not to spend decades to come burning trillions of tons of fossil fuels to grow their economies in the way we did. It is the most important work we can do now, on par with "fighting terrorism."

Now that the world economy has become so centralized, there will be blame put on the West's over consumption of fossil fuels, and at the same time development and use of renewable clean technologies seems to continue to be impeded. All real good for “big oil”. Meanwhile, “alternative fuel technologies” which have existed for years are suppressed.

Alec really ought to give the good professor Gold an acknowledgment.

For anyone who wishes to read more from the good professor Gold, here is some:

Finally, a word of caution on the essential fragility of a study on the very long-term future for the world's energy supply which accepts without question the validity of the original 18th century hypothesis that all oil and gas resources have been generated from biological matter in the chemical and thermodynamic environments of the earth's crust. There is an alternative theory - already 50 years old - which suggests an inorganic origin for additional oil and gas. This alternative view is widely accepted in the countries of the former Soviet Union where, it is claimed, "large volumes of hydrocarbons are being produced from the pre-Cambrian crystalline basement". Recent applications of the inorganic theory have, however, also led to claims for the possibility of the Middle East fields being able to produce oil "forever" and to the concept of repleting oil and gas fields in the gulf of Mexico. More generally, it is argued, "all giant fields are most logically explained by inorganic theory because simple calculations of potential hydrocarbon contents in sediments shows that organic materials are too few to supply the volumes of petroleum involved."

There have been numerous reports in recent times, of oil and gas fields not running out at the expected time, but instead showing a higher content of hydrocarbons after they had already produced more than the initially estimated amount. This has been seen in the Middle East, in the deep gas wells of Oklahoma, on the Gulf of Mexico coast, and in other places. It is this apparent refilling during production that has been responsible for the series of gross underestimate of reserves that have been published time and again, the most memorable being the one in the early seventies that firmly predicted the end of oil and gas globally by 1987, a prediction which produced an energy crisis and with that a huge shift in the wealth of nations. Refilling is an item of the greatest economic significance, and also a key to understanding what the sources of all this petroleum had been. It is also of practical engineering importance, since we may be able to exercise some control over the refilling process.

The debate about the origin of all the petroleum on Earth lies in the center of the subject. If we really knew that it is only biological materials, which, in their decay, could produce hydrocarbons, then the quantities that could ever be produced would be limited by the biological content of the sediments. But then the clear and strong association of petroleum with the inert gas helium would have no explanation; the finding of hydrocarbon gases, liquids and solids on most other planetary bodies in our solar system which have surface conditions quite unsuitable for surface life, could not be understood; the presence of hydrocarbons which we now find in abundance in basement rocks would also remained unexplained.

If we accept the fact, now known full well, that hydrocarbons are a common constituent of the cosmos and the planetary condensations that formed in it, then we have a totally different viewpoint. Hydrocarbons are stable down to great depths and the high temperatures there, contrary to many statements that have been made that the temperature reached at depths between 30,000 and 40,000 ft would dissociate most of the hydrocarbons. But these calculations are seriously in error, because they ignored the strong stabilizing effect of pressure at depth, that had been calculated by Soviet (Ukrainian and Russian) thermodynamicists.

Professor Gold concludes:

How much more than the original content of a hydrocarbon field can be produced in any one case will depend on numerous details of the formation, but present indications are that it is often at least double. The present global gas and oil glut appears to be due to this effect, and we have not yet seen the end of it, or any indication that it will end soon. Gas fields will be subject to faster refilling than oil fields, and moreover the volumes of gas in lower domains will in general be greater due to the higher pressures there and the higher compressibility of gas. Gas will thus become more plentiful than oil for this reason alone, but gas seems to be generally more plentiful and more widespread than oil. The environmental advantages of changing from coal or oil to gas, by far the cleanest of all combustible fuels, are very large, and the changeover is at present still handicapped by the mistaken belief that the supplies of gas will run out soon.

I cant find that quote on the webpage you provide.
