""Guess it won’t pass EPA standards in CA."

Want to see that change? How about a 30 cent surcharge on fuel that must be trucked into states that won't drill for their own proven reserves? Kalifornians will hang Shwartzie from some light pole at worst, down the street from from his fellow rats.

Or, he will get the message that people are getting that angry and do what people want. Hell, there is oil leaking up through the sand near beaches from Orange County to Ventura. A rig and maybe just a few hundred feet of pipe and maybe 2 weeks will have a productive well. Anywhere.

Or, he just enjoys kids throwing sticky tarballs at each other on the beach?

Can you give a summary for those of us cubicle bound?

Pelosi is aways preaching about our responsibility to support the “poor”, yet here she is in the middle of a scheme to transfer BILLIONS of dollars from the very people she claims she want to help directly into her pockets!

Just another verse in the Democrat Party 'not for thee' mantra - "money for me, but not for thee."

Excellent idea! Precisely what needs to be done.

I want to add my own “thanks” to you for your work on this critical issue.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Thank you for the ping.

[SierraWasp]

Thanks for the ping!

Do any of you guys remember Calpine, Inc. that during the Gray Davis disaster lost it's A$$ while sidling up the the Sierra Flub and trying to corner the market in CA by generating electricity with nat gas?

In fact, tubebender can tell you all about Calpine's efforts to establish a liquified compressed nat gas port facility in Eureka, CA which is now headed for Mexico, just south of the border, instead.

Well, this T. Boone Picken play reminds me of the very same play Calpine tried of cozyin up to the leftists who control the government. It didn't work!!! Calpine was very close to Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Act, last I heard!!!

Does anybody else see the parallels here?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I remember Calpine....and Clean Energy has an outlet close to me and the junction of the 405, 605 and 22 Freeways near Los Alamitos and the Seal Beach Target complex....

The Bus Fleet of Orange county runs on LNG , I assume supplied by Clean energy....but I could be wrong on that,...never actually seen a Bus stopped there Filling up.

Yep, I do. I don’t pay to cozy up to a shark.

[FlashBack]

Is there a list of who’s still on the floor on day XVI? Curious as to how many and who is still there.

[roses of sharon]

Thanks for that info, I had forgotten.

Very interesting!

[SierraWasp]

Yah! Well, I just thought what ol T. Butt Picken's (I call him that now that he's gone over to the darkside) doin with the Feral Government looks a lot like what Calpine was tryin to pull off, out here!

Picker's probably got more money than Calpine because their debt service got way too big, what with alla the moves they kept makin to "corner the market!"

All of a sudden, the whole thing turned on 'em and I'm wonderin if the same won't happen to T. B. Picker who tilts at windmills!!!

[R. Scott]

Yep - that figures.

[SierraWasp]

Good info... See #54. I forgot to ping ya to it...

[SierraWasp]

You bee welcome, roses! Those were the days my FRiend, we thot they’d never end!!! (grin)

[liberallarry]

Ponzi schemes? Crooked politicians? That’s news?

[Need4Truth]

“The methane is not processed, just burnt. It is a dirty fuel and the engines require constant maintenance.”

I see that this produces 50 Hz power. China uses 50 Hz power. They won’t care how dirty it is.

[Gvl_M3]

That was just the first link I found.

There are versions with 60hz as well.

When I said it was a “dirty fuel” I meant that there are impurities in the fuel that foul the engine sooner. It is “all natural” though ;)
