if there was a spill in Alaska....Some how it would be my countries fault for some reason even when we are telling all the super powers to stay the fuck away from the north since we protected it for generations
I think I finally get it. Unless we can think of a way to make politicians do what we want, instead of what foreign financiers want, they will eventually just kill us all.
ROFL -- ok everyone stop buying goods that are made due to oil, stop driving your cars, cruising your boats, riding ur dirt bikes, and jet skis. Stop flying on planes for your vacations or see your family - go by wagon train. LOL just hit the spot on river boat horn. Lets all stop needing the black crude. Yea.... right. As long as we need oil things like this will happen, it can't be stopped, or can it? You decide.....
Yet, a carbon tax is not the answer. Just domesticate enough corn farms to make ethanol. oh wait that wont be allowed because then US farmers will be loaded out the ass!
@swolen4 I live on a farm. I know how easy it is to make some moonshine that will run a car.....DOMESTICATE CORN! Its so easy yet all those fucking politicians want to do is TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX. Fuck Al Gore and the private jet he rode in on lol!
@jtizz711 There are problems with ethanol too. For one you have to build one hell of a lot of refineries and then you have to either buy a car to run on ethanol or somehow convert the old car. It would take a massive effort and damn near every farmer in the country would have to grown corn or other suitable crops. You can't eat ethanol.
@pat52010 whiskey is ethanol. so you can't eat it but its fun as hell to drink :P. Its very very easy to convert a car to make it able to run on it. Trust me i've done my homework. Im majoring in bioprocessing. Farmers would become rich....and big oil won't allow that. It wouldn't take a massive farmer effort. most of the shit we grow goes to CHINA! for christs sake its ridiculous! We have the technology but the media hides it.
My idea to cap the Gulf leak: use one of the external fuel tanks that are used to launch the space shuttle, Cut the bottom of the fuel tank off. This would be the part to sit down over top of the leak on the ocean floor. The top could be adapted and serve as a funnel which would have a pipe welded to it and ran to the ships above. The large pipe would slow the velocity of the oil coming out making it more manageable and better insure that the pipe would stay connected please pass this along
Maddow is lame....full of condemnation but short of ideas. She's still living as a youngster in an ideal of idealism......it's just so easy and magical according to her. It would be a quite different world if the U.S. would not be held hostage by it's own eco-Maddows
@DigitalAquarius really, how so? can you give an example, or are you just like a typical media matters liberal who shuts his eyes to reality and blames everyone who has a job or goes to church?
And the sad part of your commentary Rachel, is that we may have solved the dependency on fossil fuel had it not been for the government encroachment with their regulations causing corporate monopolies on free market capitalism, except to do it's constitutional duty. Sadly, many will not know what I am talking about and attack with the same rational that brought us to this position.
Well she is right in the manner if not putting our (family jewels) snuggly in the hands of our enemies. However we need to get off of oil and coal all together. Not only does it keep us independant as a country but it also is much cleaner and much more relyable.
Rachel hit the nail on the head with this one and showing all the presidents lying. Actually even Eisenhower talked about getting off oil. We have solar, wind, wave, geothermal, cold fusion, ZPE which are all clean and have unlimited input resource.
But as long as we have a money property system we will never see these technologies implemented. Oil, coal, etc. make corps and their political puppets too much profits.
@jgaltut "money property system" We don't have private property rights and have not for a long time. And the money system has been over taxed and devalued tremendously because of the illogical arguments big government socialists implore. Unfortunately those you mentioned are only two of the motivators that a truly free market would have allowed us for energy research, development and a quicker and cheaper way to alternative energy.
@cowboy1165 Even today less than 5% of people REALLY discover and produce EVERYTHING we have, but politicians or capitalists GET ALL THE REWARDS.
The other 95% of workers produce NOTHING. The elite make you think private property and work are good so they can steal everything and just say they own it.
We need a system where resources are used scientifically to produce the most for EVERYONE, and work is automated so people R free.
Ok nut bag when you go home use no lights because it takes more gas or oil to make the electricity...and don't wash your close,and don't use your nuke warmer or oven,no tv.and no hot bath...talk the talk walk the walk...and when you go too the creek for your water don't for get to get wood for coking dinner and warming your bath..and no gas chain saws..use a axe... :)
drilling is more enviormentally friendly then the process of shipping it when we import it, so until we actually lower or dependence on oil, drilling is better
please check out my take on this (500 characters isn't nearly enough) - regurge . net/content/breaking-news-oil-destroying-america ... WE CANNOT PRODUCE OUR OWN OIL. We will NEVER produce enough domestically at our current rates of consumption. We will NEVER produce enough domestically to even make a DENT in our imports. By the time the rigs are operational our demand will have grown so much that we will actually produce LESS domestically. This is insanity American, isanity
@DaeMaWong there aren't enough plants. We need to stop burning this for our energy. We can adequately run cars on electric conversion, and we have the technology to begin making large amounts of that without any carbon pollution (though for the next 50-100 years we will indeed need next-generation nuclear as well as fusion - which is still in research phases). Ethanol is no more the answer than oil... we need something completely different.
ROLF. o, please, give me a freaking break!!!! educate yourself or make $100,000.00. go and read it for yourself. ht tp : // ww w . jackherer . com / challenge . html
@DaeMaWong haha, so you're high then? I favor solar, wind, hydroelectric, hydrothermal, geothermal, and fusion nuclear solutions to drive our energy needs into the 21st century. I would also love to live a "Venus Project" like world (google it) but that is probably 150 years into the future. However, we need to STOP BURNING DEAD THINGS for energy, that is what the cavemen did and we are literally only one or two steps ahead of them right now.
hey dumbass. just because you use hemp to get "high," that doesn't mean there's only way. there are many other "things" you can do with it. got that kid? i am for rudimentary way. it suits me just fine and ANYONE, including you can make it at home. now go and finish what you've started to read.
'OUR' 'OUR' 'OUR' 'OUR' 'OUR' 'OUR' 'OUR' 'OUR' 'OUR' I am sick and tired of hearing the word 'OUR' and other collective pronouns when these politicians and meat necked talking heads talk about stuff that is rightly the sphere of the private. Private property is the only way these disasters will be reduced in frequency. 'Mind over chatter?' The state doesn't mind and will never heed your chatter.
@irdial I disagree. When the business world was completely private and there was little government interference, the worst things you can imagine often happened to lowly workers at the companies. People did many things worse and on purpose before someone told them they couldnt anymore. This is why the unions were born.
Certain things, such as national parks, preserves, beaches and lakes should be the property of no one. We should all have a say on what we are willing to risk in those places.
@ShadowSandy I understand your thinking and the good motivation behind it; preserve and protect the environment for the good of all, since we all depend on it for survival, health and pleasure. However, there is another, logical way of thinking about this that results in the polar opposite conclusion. Everything should be privately owned; it is only through property rights that the environment will have real protection. Check out misesdotorg/rothbard/newlibertywhole.asp for the full explanation.
@irdial But at the very same time, when we did have things solely in private hands there is much evidence that greed and self interest has led people to do cruel and unusual things to both other people and the environment. What I think is there is a happy middle. Imperfect, but something that curbs both ends of the problem.
I live in a shrinking wildland, I have seen what people (politicians too) want to do simply for money. They are willing to literally move (destroy) mountains.
@ShadowSandy IT has never been the case that things were solely in private hands. If they had been, the environmental destruction would not have taken place. The great lakes would be so clean you could drink from them, instead of being a 'commonly owned' dumping ground. I'm afraid I agree with cowboy 1165; what you are repeating is what you have been taught, not common sense. You have been taught that collectivism is the only way 'fairness' and justice can be delivered. That is entirely false.
@cowboy1165 No, I am sorry. Its human behavior. Greed is real and tends to be destructive. I have seen the effect with my own eyes in my own hometown. My indoctrination with other's opinions on this subject is likely less than yours.
I am willing to be wrong, but I am not willing to be misclassified and dismissed. The hardest position to take these days is somewhere in the middle because both sides seem to hate you.
@ShadowSandy If you are willing to be wrong, then this is a great start. Please take a look at the Libertarian solution to pollution; in it, you will find that the motivation behind property rights is all you need to keep the environment spotless. I dont think cowboy is dismissing you btw, just trying to help. After you have taken a look at the Libertarian viewpoint on this, and can refute it, then your case is made. I would start at mises . org and Murray Rothbard's 'For a New Liberty'.
Obama and every politician is owned by BIG OIL. I HATE THESE RETARDS THAT SAY OBAMA WANTS TO GO GREEN. WE WILL NEVER GO GREEN. COUNT ON THAT YOU MORONIC CONSPIRACY THEORISTS OF THE GLOBAL NWO AND THE BIG GOV'T POWER GRAB.
@LouieArrighi Those oil companies are the same people who hold patents and purposely surpress technology to keep alternative energy sources from being produced.
@LouieArrighi According to opensecrets org Oil companies donate almost entirely to the republican party. The democratic politicians are owned by Wall Street and they make a lot of money in the energy futures market. Wait till climate change legislation passes and watch the next bubble of energy derivatives trading blow up and pop like the housing bubble.
nice, rachel, way to make it about partisan politics. you msnbc news anchors are such revolutionary freedom fighters... pardon me for adopting yr snarky tone but, uh, being a self-satisfied democrat is, like, sooo 2008. How 'bout you drop the schtick and you start telling your audience the fucked up truth about the way our society works. 'Cuz The red/blue shit is kiiiinda getting stale. "Refried beans again? But we've had refried beans every night for dinner since before i was booooorn..."
Strange how all these Presidents ... Nixon, Ford, Carte, Reagen, Bush Sr. Bush Jr. and Obama ...where or are currently members of fraternal orders ... From Bohemian Crove Nixon, Ford, Carter, Regen, to Bilderberg Bush Sr. as well as Bush Jr. Skulls & Bones and Obama who is a member of the FreeMason order ... All seem to have had oil crisises while been in office ... how odd?
why do we not move agressively towards alternative fuel sources? to begin with compressed natural gas that will give us breathing room until we can lay out frame works for wind solar hydrogen? because to much money is made from big oil and big coal the two dirtiest of of our energy producers until we can get our politicians hands out of the pockets of these corporations this is going to happen over and over again sanity has to enter some where
Scarcity is an invention of the aristocracy. Think about it. In 1975 there were 117 million drivers in the U.S. when Carter was telling everyone "we are almost out of oil" Now there is over 223 million drivers in the U.S. and the oil is still here.
We need to open up all drilling in Alaska and California,and if those state governors don't want to, the US Government should step in to override and drill immediately.Drill off the eastern and western seaboards, double the rigs in the gulf of mexico.Drill from the mountains to the prairie. Secure our borders.There would be jobs, cheap energy, no economic hardship and no Saudi Oil.I have never seen and heard such a biased newscaster as this one.Very faulty logic.Long live the US Constitution
@sngrmnsthsm yeah that sounds all good. only problem is wind and solar suck, until they can make this shit work right we need to stay with oil and coal. I own a 29ft boat and I pull it with an F-150 xlt 4x4. when they make a solar or electric truck with enough power to pull that around let me know.
@unclewooly They have her on so people like you are made constantly aware of how much you suck. It must be a drag to know that everyone is better than you.
@goodinohio Why don't you let me know how you feel to stand at a bus stop and consider taking a little more time to get where you're going. If everyone did that, you're question wouldn't sound so much like that of a heroin addict more than an argument for oil drilling. Why argue in favor of death? Are you really so simple minded that you feel your suggested option is the only one?
@callouschristian You would rather bring poverty and death on humans. We are working toward cleaner energy, no need for all the human misery during the transition.
She is such a damn socialist/Commie. Propaganda anyone? Of course these shit bird propagandizers occupy the news fronts on the left and the right. She is not alone in her mind manipulation. Propaganda need only be effective amongst the dumbest of the population. crowd jeering takes care of the rest. SOOO fuckng sick of the bullshit.
@sunrise1834 Someone arguing against big oil detractors by labelling them "propagandizers"?? You people are so upside down stupid evil you don't even know how ridiculous you sound anymore. Pull your head out of the ass of FOX and think for a change before you put your claws to the keyboard. OH! And look no further than in the mirror when you want to see your next propaganda victim, oil shill.
Yeah guys real propaganda...the oil spill is trick photography and global warming is a joke played by guys with PhD who've made a lifetime profession of studying climate. Shit big oil and corporations must love dumbshits like you.

why do we not move agressively towards alternative fuel sources? to begin with compressed natural gas that will give us breathing room until we can lay out frame works for wind solar hydrogen? because to much money is made from big oil and big coal the two dirtiest of of our energy producers until we can get our politicians hands out of the pockets of these corporations this is going to happen over and over again sanity has to enter some where

Some people will boycott BP for a couple of weeks and then business as usual. The public will pay via higher gas prices.

Scarcity is an invention of the aristocracy. Think about it. In 1975 there were 117 million drivers in the U.S. when Carter was telling everyone "we are almost out of oil" Now there is over 223 million drivers in the U.S. and the oil is still here.

We need to open up all drilling in Alaska and California,and if those state governors don't want to, the US Government should step in to override and drill immediately.Drill off the eastern and western seaboards, double the rigs in the gulf of mexico.Drill from the mountains to the prairie. Secure our borders.There would be jobs, cheap energy, no economic hardship and no Saudi Oil.I have never seen and heard such a biased newscaster as this one.Very faulty logic.Long live the US Constitution

@sngrmnsthsm yeah that sounds all good. only problem is wind and solar suck, until they can make this shit work right we need to stay with oil and coal. I own a 29ft boat and I pull it with an F-150 xlt 4x4. when they make a solar or electric truck with enough power to pull that around let me know.

Were Santa Barbra and Alaska destroyed? No! It's a horrible mess, accidents happen. Drill on land and in shallow water and this wouldn't happen.
Let me know how you feel about drilling when gas is $6 a gallon this summer, or if the green extremists get their way and it's $15 a gallon.

@goodinohio Why don't you let me know how you feel to stand at a bus stop and consider taking a little more time to get where you're going. If everyone did that, you're question wouldn't sound so much like that of a heroin addict more than an argument for oil drilling. Why argue in favor of death? Are you really so simple minded that you feel your suggested option is the only one?

@callouschristian You would rather bring poverty and death on humans. We are working toward cleaner energy, no need for all the human misery during the transition.

She is such a damn socialist/Commie. Propaganda anyone? Of course these shit bird propagandizers occupy the news fronts on the left and the right. She is not alone in her mind manipulation. Propaganda need only be effective amongst the dumbest of the population. crowd jeering takes care of the rest. SOOO fuckng sick of the bullshit.

Do you often call people "commie" even though you toss around, with the term,in vain? Who taught you that?

@sunrise1834 Someone arguing against big oil detractors by labelling them "propagandizers"?? You people are so upside down stupid evil you don't even know how ridiculous you sound anymore. Pull your head out of the ass of FOX and think for a change before you put your claws to the keyboard. OH! And look no further than in the mirror when you want to see your next propaganda victim, oil shill.
