 All blogs containing the word: energy policy (27 results) Aug. 18, 2008A Beautiful DayMore on: Roy Blunt, Ag Tour, Supercritical Methanol biodiesel The EPA declined to give Texas Gov. Rick Perry and his poultry packing buddies the waiver on renewable fuels they asked for. And Monsanto has decided to sell off and stop promoting their Recumbent Bovine Growth Hormone. I realize that my past two blogs addressing these two issues had nothing to do with the outcomes, it does however always feel good to know that the viewyou have of an issue is indeed the correct one..» Read blog Aug. 11, 2008Get a Grip - Part TwoNow for the second part of this little rant. As if the poor reporting about ethanol by NPR was not enough to keep me lit up all day another report about our friends at Monsanto comes out as well. Monsanto is in the courts again. This time they are after the dairy industry..» Read blog Aug. 05, 2008Get a Grip - Part OneIn the past I have been chided for some of my blogs being “divisive” or “too political”. Well hold on to your hats folks because today I am just flat pissed off!!!! I will start with an NPR report I heard earlier this week. The report referenced the state of Texas requesting a waiver from the federal government on the requirement to use ethanol in their fuel..» Read blog Jul. 28, 2008UNEXPLORED CONNECTIONS: Tony JonesI've spent a lot of time on the road this summer. In fact, my friends and I have put about 10,000 miles on an RV, and we've got about 5,000 more to go. Driving the interstates of this country, it really does become evident how reliant we are on trucking and diesel fuel to fund our way of life..» Read blog Jul. 27, 2008Sarah Steelman's Misleading AdsMore on: ethanol, Sarah Steelman, Missouri, low gas prices I used to really respect Sarah Steelman.
I thought her stand against the insurance company hornswoggle known as "tort reform" was a tremendous, courageous stand.
But unfortunately, her latest (and silliest) ad in her grab to be Missouri's next governor has unmasked her as another politician willing to trade sides for no reason at all, other than supporting the sentiment of the moment..» Read blog Jul. 21, 2008Solutions (or, Hug a Farmer) Problems abound in the world today, much as they always have. Throughout human history we have faced war, famine and disease. Weather patterns have changed and once-vibrant farmlands have been reduced to deserts. Ecological variants have caused the downfall of thriving societies, sometimes due to poor resource management, some times due to the whims of nature..» Read blog
Jul. 06, 2008InterdependenceHave you ever read or seen a Sherlock Holmes mystery? I have always loved those stories. I love the way Holmes takes what seems to be the smallest detail and used it to find the culprit. A speck of dirt from someone’s shoe, a bit of tobacco left at the scene of the crime, Holmes always found ways to use those seemingly meaningless clues solve the unsolvable..» Read blog May. 26, 2008Corn-fusedMore on: corn, use of corn for ethanol, causes of rise in food prices For the past few weeks news sources have talked about the dangerous influence alternative fuels have on our cost of food.
"The recent rise in corn prices -- almost 70 percent in the past six months --caused by the increased demand for ethanol biofuel has come much sooner than many agriculture economists had expected..» Read blog May. 22, 2008DisfunctionalMore on: Big Oil, biodiesel, The Hold Steady It will be interesting to see how history views this period of rising energy prices during an era of near-stagnant economic growth.
As I see it, such an event could show people not yet touched by the environmental debate of the huge pull that energy has over our lives, and how we have backed ourselves into the proverbial corner with Big Oil..» Read blog May. 18, 2008AcresOver the past year there have been some fascinating conversations about the promise of ethanol. Within that same twelve-month period we have seen many organizations start crying out against the production of ethanol from corn.
Corn-based ethanol in the US has been labeled as a crime against humanity by some..» Read blog May. 15, 2008Water Is ElementalMore on: water, wooly mammoth, Iggy Pop Water is the most important thing on this planet. We can live without money and we do not need oil to survive, but without water everything dies. Everything. We have as much water today as we have ever had..» Read blog May. 06, 2008Take ActionMore on: Renewable Fuel Standard, biodiesel, ethanol As you have read in recent days, we don't think much of ethanol and biodiesel being blamed for the world food crisis. Unfortunately, lots of Members of Congress, with short attention spans and long needs for attention, are now asking for the Renewable Fuel Standard to be curbed..» Read blog Apr. 28, 2008Boneheads on paradeJean Ziegler of the United Nation’s Right to Food Program has claimed that biofuels are a crime against humanity. Ziegler has called for a global five year moratorium on the production of biofuels to avert what he is calling a growing "catastrophe" for the poor..» Read blog Jan. 27, 2008Nature
Ever notice how more often than not, folks tend to refer to
nature as a thing they are apart from rather than a part of? I am talking about both sides of most environmental
arguments here. For people on the political right the environment tends to be
something that must promote the making of money in one way or another, an
annoyance that tends to be in the way of economic growth and golf courses..» Read blog Jan. 01, 2008You are not going anywhere until you have cleaned up this mess!Once you make a mess you clean it up.
This should just be part of the
way business is done. Instead, we are told that if industry was forced to be
responsible for cleaning up its own messes it would be too much of a
financial burden. Other arguments claim that the economy would suffer..» Read blog Dec. 26, 2007Food vs. FuelLets start with the obvious: There are people starving all
over the world. They are not starving because the earth cannot produce
enough food to feed everyone, at least not yet. They are not starving because corn is being used to make ethanol
or soy oil going into biodiesel..» Read blog Dec. 05, 2007The Importance of SolarHello, Larry Hagman here. Welcome to my first foray into the world of blogging. This is an exciting time for me, at the tender age of 76, having the opportunity to delve into a new medium of communication and education. It’s just fantastic.
Over the last fifty or so years mankind has seen amazing changes..» Read blog Nov. 15, 2007Biofuel on TourYes, we are no longer challenged with the idea of seeking out fuel sources, we are getting it delivered to us at the gig. Bid For Green is doing what needed to be done--creating a data base of fuel suppliers and setting up accounts so that it has been made even easier for us to use biodiesel than to spend the time fueling up in the stinky line at the truck stop, something we've all accepted as part of traveling by tour bus..» Read blog Nov. 12, 2007Get It StraightThe word energy has been thrown bandied about so extensively over the last several years, it’s hard even to understand what people are really talking about.
When we discuss energy and the dependence of the United States on foreign countries for energy we are, almost exclusively, discussing oil..» Read blog Nov. 11, 2007Prosperity without PollutionThe Late, great Dennis Weaver believed in a world where we could have “Prosperity without Pollution”. Dennis understood that our economy and our ecology are two sides of the same coin. In order to have a strong sustainable economy, we need to have a strong, healthy, sustainable natural resource base..» Read blog May. 20, 2007Oil Is The New TobaccoIf you want some hope, think of this: Remember walking into a restaurant
in the 70s? Remember the thick nicotine haze that hit you the minute you
opened the door? If you were lucky, the place had a non-smoking section,
which essentially was three tables towards the back where they didn't put an
ashtray..» Read blog May. 08, 2007Welcome To Bid For GreenThis website focuses on connection: Connecting buyers and sellers, companies
and customers. Our mission is to create the greatest and most central green
space on the internet.
The world of alternative energy reminds me very
much of where the internet was ten years ago: something very exciting, but
somewhat scary..» Read blog |   |
