China: The Answer Is Blowin' In The Wind?

The global wind power boom just keeps blowing stronger for American Superconductor Corp., which has its wind power business based in Middleton.

The Devens, Mass.-based company on Tuesday announced that it has received a $450 million order from Beijing-based Sinovel Wind Corp. to provide core electrical components for 1.5-megawatt wind turbines. Shipments are expected to begin in January and extend through December 2011. The order comes on top of tens of millions of dollars of previous orders from Sinovel.

Kudos to an American based company offering high-technology to the World market! I feel it would be wonderful if the United States could follow China in adding more wind energy into our energy grid.

Two Opinions ... No Waiting?

Mark Dice:

PRESS RELEASE

A political activist group is sending letters and DVDs to U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq
telling them 9/11 was an inside job








San Diego, CA – A group of over three thousand political activists are planning to send letters to soldiers stationed in Iraq telling them that America is largely to blame for the 9/11 attacks.


“We support the troops in their efforts to protect the Iraqi people, but want them to know the real reason they have put themselves in harms way,” explains Mark Dice, founder of The Resistance, a Christian media watch dog group based in San Diego.

Michel Demitri Shalhoub (Omar Sharif):

I lived in America for a long time. Only 10% of all Americans have a passport. In other words, 90% never left America. They may have gone to Mexico or Canada, because they don't need a visa or a passport to go there. 90% of them don't know... You show them an unmarked map of Europe, and ask them where France is, and they don't know. Ask them where Italy is... Okay, Italy they know because it looks like a shoe. They don't know anything. They are ignorant.

One must love the ability of individuals to expound upon any topic that allows them to present themselves as an expert ... while showing others that there is no age or geographical limitation to bigotry or insanity?

Hillary Clinton: One Liberal Down ... One To Go!

While wondering if Clinton would be late to her own funeral, I viewed the liberal failure offering her support to Barack Hussein Obama as she conceded her defeat as a candidate for the Democratic Party, U. S. A. nomination. Now the U. S. Electorate must find out the TRUTH about the presumptive nominee, Obama ... another LIBERAL who has no proven record, save being a half-black activist who talks the talk.

Oil Prices: Overreaction ... Do Ya' Think?


A record jump in crude-oil prices yesterday may have been an overreaction, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Economist Jim O'Neill said.

While those of us at the bottom of the "barrel" suffer the reality of all the reasons given for the oil price increases over the past year, the insanity of statements such as this, whether true or hype, is unconscionable! If "HOT AIR" and "BULLSHIT" could fuel our transportation needs, the U. S. Congress would be a viable resource.

India: Passes On (Greenhouse) Gas?

India will not reduce greenhouse gas emission at the cost of development and poverty alleviation, Minister of State for Environment and Forests Namo Narain Meena said Thursday. “India is struggling to bring millions of people out of poverty. We cannot accept binding commitments to cut down greenhouse gas emission,” Meena said at a function to mark the World Environment Day.

But, it's OK for liberals and liberal sympathizers within the U. S. Congress to attempt to destroy the United States' industrial infrastructure by offering a C(R)ap and Trade provision within an insane attempt to legislate a "Global Warming Bill?"

Barack Obama: The Audacity Of A Dope?

Sen. Barack Obama's campaign confirmed Saturday that he has resigned from the church where controversial sermons by his former pastor and other ministers created repeated political headaches for the Democratic frontrunner.


CNN.com




The candidate now caves into resignation from his racist church? Can "we" say he is a true politician in every sense of the word? The United States really doesn't need this individual in any position of authority ... he elects to change with the wind! Is this the type of "CHANGE" he represents? Is his "religion" that of a blatant opportunist?

Now It's $15.00 Per Gallon Gasoline?

5/24/2008

Peak Oil Guru, Robert L. Hirsch appeared on MSNBC's News Live with Alex Witt and offered his views on the possibility of $15 per gallon gasoline in the not so distant future. This gentleman's stoic presentation and brief insight into his reasoning left Alex seemingly aghast ...

I always enjoy the prophets of doom and gloom, especially those who opt to appear on cable/satellite's equivalent of the grocery store tabloid. Has the Government of the United States left us all turning in the wind without a rudder?

Are we all the victim of partisan politics and the vagaries of our elected officials? Is it every man/woman for himself/herself? How will this manifest itself in the coming days? Are we just ... doomed?
