Al Gore: A sound pick for the environment(EPA Chief?)(Barf Alert)
Seattle P I ^ | July 22, 2008 | DERRICK Z. JACKSON

It is unlikely that a Nobel laureate, Oscar winner and former vice president of the United States would return to the nuts and bolts of the federal bureaucracy, but it is obvious who Barack Obama or John McCain should make either energy secretary or administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Given the impact each agency has on the other, they could hand both over to Al Gore so the nation has a shot at a coherent energy and environmental policy.

Last week, Gore called for an effort akin to President Kennedy's mission to put a man on the moon to make the United States a carbon-free nation by 2018. In his vision, all electricity in the United States would come from renewable sun, wind, and geothermal power.

Gore said that according to scientists, enough sun falls on the earth every 40 minutes to supply 100 percent of the world's energy for a year. He said Midwestern winds could supply the United States with all the electricity it needs. With thinking like that, Gore could be called upon to liberate the scientists in the EPA -- not to mention NASA and other agencies who have warned of the oncoming impact of global warming.

Take that, scientists and Supreme Court.

That's an actual line from this article. Childish fluff for childish minds written by childish journalists.

Wondering when some Gorelike alarmist freak will start screaming about sucking the Sun dry of all its energy, and demand banning Solar.

Then there’s always the possibility too of the alarmist demanding the Windmills all face opposing directions so they won’t stop the rotation of the Earth.

Sheesh! The Earth will collapse like a balloon if we suck out the geothermal stuff don’t you know.

We’re all gonna die...Let’s face it.

With all the Executive Powers the EPA has been granted...

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=browse_usc&docid=Cite:+42USC7603
Environmental Emergency Powers:

Excerpt:

the Administrator, upon receipt of evidence that a pollution source or combination of sources (including moving sources) is presenting an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health or welfare, or the environment, may bring suit on behalf of the United States in the appropriate United States district court to immediately restrain any person causing or contributing to the alleged pollution to stop the emission of air pollutants causing or contributing to such pollution or to take such other action as may be necessary.

/excerpt

...Gore will have an easier time implementing his Nuremberg Trials as head of the EPA.

He could follow in the foot steps of Clinton’s Energy Secretary Hazel O’Leary and globe trot around the world with a huge entourage in a fleet of jets, while telling people they’re evil because they burn fossil fuels.

Methane gas has increased 150% in the atmosphere since the mid 1700’s. (During the same time period, carbon dioxide increased only 30 %.) A gram of methane gas has more than 25 times the greenhouse gas impact as a gram carbon dioxide. As many know, flatulence, “farts,” are almost entirely methane gas.

Therefore, Al Gore has developed a new program to combat this obviously increasing peril to our planet, and make a little money for himself at the same time.

Everyone will be required to wear a “fart meter,” (Cost $75, available only from Al Gore) which will record and automatically transmit to a new government agency (the Federal Automatic Recording Technology Department) the occasion of each fart and the volume thereof.

For an additional fee of $4,500, interested parties can purchase a fart capture mechanism (available only from Al Gore). This 25 pound device can be conveniently worn under the special clothing available also from Al Gore in attractive shades of brown.

When full, the interested consumer can present his fart capture device to Al Gore’s recycling center, where for a fee of $0.10 per fart, the captured farts will be recycled into the US natural gas distribution system. Al Gore also will receive a modest fee of only $0.015 per fart for the energy content of the gas.

The interested consumer will also receive “fart credits” for the number of farts he recycles. These “fart credits” can be traded to other consumers, who elected not to purchase a fart capture mechanism, through Al Gore’s Fart Trading Exchange. Al Gore will extract only a small commission of $0.01 per fart for each trade.

All Consumers will be required to be “fart neutral” by a “Cap and Trade” regulation, administered by the new Federal Automatic Recording Technology Department. Legislation is being developed as we speak, by the concerned Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and her erstwhile compatriot in the Senate, Harry Reid.

Get ahead of the mandated stampede to control this growing threat to our planet. Get you fart capture mechanism now.

Simply contact Al Gore and follow his instructions.

Wow! So all we have to do is invent a 100% efficient photovoltaic cell, and we'll have this problem licked!

I sure hope those scientists get going on this problem!

That’s true, you know. In reality, the sun isn’t “renewable.” We only have the one, and when it’s gone, that it. We’re done for. So we should be conserving solar, not using it up with all those panels on everything.

And I’m pretty sure that really tanned chubby chick in the corner over there is definitely soaking up more than her share. Where are the solar police? Where’s algore? Where’s my tinfoil hat?

Living under the photovoltaic cells will also help prevent skin cancer and kidney stones

If this nightmare ever comes true, we will see a country on it's way to oblivion. Every liberal radical idiot moron we see on the fringes of political life with hair brained sceams and scams will be given high posts in government along with the stupid we already have in congress and the senate The country of ours will be a “remember when story”.
For those who will sit this one out, will never vote for Mccain, think again, you will be a partner in making this country a third world nation. He may not be my cup of tea I would rather a conservative, but I will not allow these morons the control they so desperately seek. Do you feel comfortable being an accomplice?

And the Earth's surface is 70% water yet we still have deserts like the Sahara, Gobi and Death Valley in the USA. And I'm pretty sure that everyone already knows the Sun's rays hit the Earth 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - and will for another 4 billion years, give or take.

So is Manbearpig trying to make a point here?

Hell, and even then, McCain could pick Algore for the position!

So you’re gambling on McCain not picking Algore for EPA head or energy secretary?

Yeah, I know, I’ll probably vote for McCain too...
