Protect My Right To Tax You!

they’re velcro now?

If you got a post laundry place, take them there.. they might charge you a couple bucks, but they always did my patches right on the spot..

Protect my right to tax you.

"Hillary Clinton for President Exploratory Committee is not responsible for the content of any external websites."

Even though they've specifically chosen to link to those stories? I suppose I could start a kids site, link to porn sites and say I'm not responsible for their content..

You don’t think there’s a difference in self-esteem between losing a competitive activity, and being put down by your teacher?

Stories like this provide fodder for the self-esteem crowd..

Well this interested me a little, so I thought I’d share..

being a firm believer in peak oil, my first thought was that my car doesn’t run on natural gas.. saying a natural gas discovery is going to solve the oil problem is kinda like a shortage in gold being solved by discovering more zinc.. they serve different purposes..

If oil does deplete to the point that it’s no longer feasible, then everything we have that runs on oil would have to be made to run on natural gas.. meaning that NG is no longer responsible for 22% of our energy usage, it would be more like 62%...

The line that stuck out for me was, “If only one percent of the methane hydrate resource could be made technically and economically recoverable”.

Hopefully a lot more than 1% would be realistic, as that’s not enough to do much of anything.. 1% of 200,000 trillion cubic feet would only be 2000 trillion. If used as a replacement for oil, a rate of 62 trillion cubic feet per year would only be 32 years worth.. hardly an end all solution.. it wouldn’t be long till we were dependent on foreign methane hydrates..

We generally use Bob Jones curriculum, and supplement with other stuff.. edhelper.com is really good for extra worksheets..

I think he's gonna ask for an extension until the hearing is over..

A day earlier, the contract rose 7 cents to settle at a 2-month high of $61.46 a barrel.

So.. was it the word 'fall' or 'continue' that they don't understand..

"The Saudi Government's theory was based upon their belief that Saudi Arabia has undiscovered reserves double that of what is known now."

I like that one.. Estimates that say how much someone has of something, that they haven't found yet..

This is from the EIA's website..

In any event, the world production peak for conventionally reservoired crude is unlikely to be "right around the corner" as so many other estimators have been predicting. Our analysis shows that it will be closer to the middle of the 21st century than to its beginning.

Closer to 2050 than 2000? If we had government data that says global warming was going to make the planet uninhabitable in 40 years, would we care? If Islamists say they plan to take over the world in 40 years, would we try to stop them?

And yet the 'conservative' view on oil is that technology will save us and prove those 'moonbats' wrong..

Well..., no "peak-oil" problem, it seems...
...
This is no different from global warming, population bombs, or any other alarmist garbage.
...
"Peak food" was debunked hundreds of years ago, some people never learn.
...
the same people who are in a panic about "peak oil" are also in a panic about "global warming"

Amazing.

I know I allways feel better when Saudi Arabia says everything's gonna be fine..

The remaining 4.7 trillion barrels should be enough to last more than 140 years at current output rates, he said.

Interesting that no one questions the use of "current output rates" in the equation.. I suppose if demand and production remain constant, the peak wouldn't be for another 70 years.. too bad growth curves don't work like that..

"Perhaps the higher prices are having an effect on demand," said BNP Paribas Commodity Futures broker Tom Bentz."

"The Energy Department said gasoline demand over the past four weeks was 9.2 million barrels per day, or about even with the same period last year."

Perhaps their not..

Miller sucks anyway..

But Dos Equis Amber is pretty good.. :)

At this point, I'd expect a more coherent argument from Ted..

It's not just a matter of if it's economically viable.. it's a matter of the amount of energy returned, on the energy that's invested in it..

If it takes more energy to make it, than we get from it.. then all the energy it produces simply goes back in to getting more.. and none of the energy makes it to market..

Why are you asking?

Because you don't appear to be actually reading.. just reflexively arguing..

Are you drunk?

Umm.. you didn't state anything..

I just pointed you to a link that says oil shale may not be worth jumping on the bandwagon for.. and you responded the same way the lefty blogs respond when I post there..

I didn't ask for an apology, nor expect one.. belligerent people come in all parties..
