Hillary implies Bush responsible for power outage
CNN Larry King Live | 08/14/2003 | Cousin Eddie

Posted on 08/14/2003 6:38:58 PM PDT by Cousin Eddie

King is interviewing that expert in electricity managemnet, Gray Davis, and Hillary Clinton (by phone). She basically said that this country needs to put a priority on upgrading the power distribution backbone and the Bush administration had un-done all of the good work that had gone on in the Clinton administration under Bill Richardson. Unbelievable...blaming Bush for this crisis. She has no shame.

We would be using more solar power, if only Hitlery's fat a$$ wasn't blocking the sun;)

I think some 'rats (not all) have been hoping like h#ll for another terrorist attack, and have a quick-deploy, instant outrage, blame Bush media plan ready for just such an occasion. This presented a good opportunity to try it out.

which state would that be? arkansas,illinois,new york- I remember the Bush's being hassled about the "home state problem" Texas or Maine- anyway- the power outages or taking advantage of disasters is the Clinton expertise- Hurricane andrew , the LA riots- were all welcome fodder for these degenerates to attack the man at the top - not anyone else in between- then the media chants whatever Hitlery rants about -

Well I'll be damned!! If Dubya is at fault, then what was Bill Richardson talking about on CNN when he said that the people in the CLINTON administration fiddled and didn't take the upgrading of the national grid seriously...in 1998!?!?

So what State DOES this woman represent? And, didn't she promise to improve upstate in particular, where this originated? Funny how she hasn't improved a darn thing up there.

If you want a culprit for New York energy problems, go look up Mario Cuomo and Shoreham. In my personal opinion, he stilly owes the good people of New York $5 billion for that one.

Hitler claiming Bush is responsible for the consequences of a lightning strike. What a piece of work.

Bingo! '04 it is!! She already said "Bush is beatable".

If she believes that .. then she's in for '04. She's not going to enter the fray with the dims though - she'll wait and be drafted at the convention - Kerry is not going to like that one bit!

My only question is who is she going to select for her running mate (one of the 9?).

Her running mate will be Gen. Wesley Clark...Clinton cronie & Rhodes Scholar pal at Oxford. He was first in his class at West Point. was NATO commander & will give her 'gravitas' in military issues.

Scares me that many could be fooled into voting for her with Clark as her VP.

Like Rush always says about the Clinton admin - it was good enough if they "wanted" to do something. Intentions always mattered more than action.

The Utah Coal Lockup: A trillion dollar Lippo payoff?

When the President signed the Executive Order designating 1.7 million acres
of land in southwest Utah as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National
Monument, his action placed the area off limits to mineral extraction and
development.

The New York Times reported that the monument encloses the largest coal
field in the nation, the Kaiparowitz Plateau, which contains at least 7
billion tons of coal worth over $1 TRILLION...

Why did he do it? Why lock up $1 trillion worth of coal?...

In the weeks prior to the past election, revelations surfaced almost daily
regarding donations from foreign sources to the Democratic Party and
Clinton's past campaigns. At the center of the controversy was another set
of people to whom Clinton owes a few favors: the Lippo Group, a powerful $5
billion Indonesian conglomerate, founded and owned by the Riady family who,
it turned out, had raised and funneled millions of dollars into campaign
coffers.

Democrats attempted to downplay the allegations of impropriety. Even if the
Clinton campaign and the Party did receive illegal contribution- which is
denied -what, they demanded, had Clinton done for Lippo Group, the Riadys,
or Indonesia that really affects this country adversely? Good question.

The Payoff

Clinton's announcement at the Grand Canyon was wrapped in political
correctness. "Mining jobs are good jobs, and mining is important to our
national security - but we can't have mines everywhere, and we shouldn't
have mines that threaten national treasures," he told his sycophantic
audience.

But coal is not only important for our nation's security. More importantly,
at the present time it is the most cost-effective fuel for the electric
plants that supply our homes and industries with light, heat and power.

Moreover, the coal at Kaiporowitz Plateau is a kind of coal that is not
found "everywhere." It is very low sulfur, low ash - hence, low polluting -
coal, the kind in high demand for power plants, such as one being designed
for Ensenada, Mexico. That megawatt giant, presently on the drawing boards,
will supply electricity across northern Baja, an area plagued by brownouts.

Had it not been taken off the world market, the logical source of coal for
the Baja plant would be the Kaiparowitz Plateau. Once mined it could be
transported by rail to the ports of Long Beach or Los Angeles, then by barge
to Ensenada. Thanks to Clinton, there will be no exporting of Kaiparowitz
coal, which means the facility's procurement people will have to look
elsewhere for clean non-polluting fuel...

Only two other sources

Besides the Kaiparowitz Plateau, there are only two other known locations in
the world where comparable coal is found in sufficient quantities to make
mining it worthwhile. Colombia in South America is one, but it'll be years
before the necessary mining and shipping infrastructure is built.

The other? You got it. Indonesia.

That's right - the coal fields of South Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. Big
plans are online for its development. Indonesia has been a source of coal
for over a century, but the coal varies sharply in terms of quality.
Recently, however, a coal that is very low in sulfur has been discovered. A
number of coal companies are already there, and it's a good bet Lippo Group
money is involved. A major company is Adaro Indonesia, of which 20 percent
is owned by the Spanish government, 50 percent by New Hope Corp., an
Australian firm.

Envirocoal

According to the 1994 report Mineral Industry of Indonesia, by the bureau of
Mines, U.S. Dept. of Interior, Adaro aims to produce 15 million tones by the
year 2000 of what they call Envirocoal - a reference to its quality. Adaro
has for several years anticipated the U.S. as a major market, and has one
committed purchaser already: Tampa Electric Co., which signed a long-term
contract to purchase 400,000 tones a year from the Indonesian firm.

To handle the shipping of the increased production, new shipping terminals
are being constructed. One huge one is on a neighboring island at a cost of
$1 billion. The P.T. Indonesia bulk Terminal, as the megaport is called, is
owned 50 percent by New How, and 50 percent by "Indonesian interests" (the
Lippo Group perhaps), according to the Interior Dept. report.

Massive coal deposits, massive shipping facilities - that spells massive
investment, massive contracts. This isn't some small-0is-beautiful
eco-operation. We're talking real money here, and it's hard to imagine that
the "Lippopotamus" is not in on the action. But even if Lippo's not directly
involved, the Indonesian government, with which Lippo has a cozy
relationship, certainly does. So too will the various foreign investors and
mining companies to whom the Indonesian government has extended an open
invitation.

Winners and Losers

In any game there are winners and losers, and there are Americans in the
first category - the investors who put their money in overseas coal mining,
producers of natural gas, which the administration supports wholeheartedly.

Plus, there's a deal between a Little Rock firm and Lippo. According to the
ENERGY ECONOMIST for Sept., 1994, Entergy Group of Little Rock, in
partnership with the Lippo Group of Hong Kong, signed a memorandum of
understanding with the North China Power Corporation for the cooperative
management and expansion of the $1 billion 1,200 megawatt coal-fired Daton 2
power plan in Shanxi Province. Isn't that interesting And where do you think
the coal will come from?

The Democrats' question: What has Clinton done for Indonesia that harms the
United States? The answer is - with a stroke of his pen he wiped out the
only significant competition to Indonesian coal interests in the world
market before it even got started, a move that at the same time relegates
this country to importer status. His edict will force us into eventual
dependency on foreign producers of coal as we are presently dependent on
overseas sources for oil - an unconscionable situation considering that we
have abundant deposits of both commodities.

The President has given our children a legacy of continued energy
dependence, marked by contrived shortages and crises, the full impact of
which will be sharply felt in the years to come.
