I think the Justice Department needs to be the final protector of the people of the United States of America. Sheila Jackson Lee All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing, uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the tea party. Sheila Jackson Lee quotes

Now is the time for the Hollywood right to attend the city council meetings and speak out against the Three leftest members attempt to curtail free speech. I want to hear what Sandler, Selleck, Trebek, Harmon, DeMille, Sinise, Grammer, Sorbo, Sajak, Locklear, and Belushi have to say!

Remember the unannounced air force one flyover of NY that caused panic. That was not a lapse of proper coordination, that was design to garner fear.. It was intentional and Bloomberg knew

Joe the plumber even got dumped on, if you recall. This is no scandal This is persecution.

These are not scandals, That is too nice a term. We must change the dialectic. Name them what they truly are PERSECUTION: Spying on reporters, dead Ambassadors: Stevens Smith Doherty Woods, harassment of conservatives, and citizen disarmament 1930's Socialist Nazi Germany all over again!

If the entire US switched to GSHP's to heat and cool their homes and convert their cars to run on natural gas. Electrical consumption would drop by over 1/3 and oil imports would drop to nearly zero. Air pollutants from car exhausts would be eliminated and new vehicle cost would drop by $2000+ because the catalytic convertor and other pollution controls would no longer be required. This obviates the need to build any electrical generating plants and a smart grid. And of course rate increases by your utility company would not be justified. And your commuting cost and home heating and cooling costs would each be cut in half.

Harry Reid endorsed Navada Geothermal Power and was grossly mismanaged by political hacks http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jul/4/lights-go-dim-on-another-energy-project/?page=all But now it seems that the ORMAT company of this article has bought some of the assets and the Reid cronies were sent packing and Ormat has infused cash and management into NVP so we will see how it turns out http://www.nevadageothermal.com/s/News.asp

You got that right. Eliminate one regulation, requiring the certification and testing of natural gas vehicle conversions would bring down the regulated $15000 cost to be $2,500 for of a tank, tubing, regulator. In 1980 -1983 oil imports dropped by 75% due to the mass conversion of vehicles propane and home heating from fuel oil to natural gas. Low cost energy brought the biggest US economic boom that it has ever seen.

Always drill straight down to the water table at $12-$15 per foot.. Insure that you couple into the water tablemaking your GSHP the most efficient. Slinky tubes only 10 foot down are to much affected by the ambient outside air temperature making for less efficiency. 150ft of vertical loop per ton of cooling on a 15 ft square grid is good rule of thumb depending on soil conditions. The more vertical loop the higher the efficiency.. Heavily Insulate the top 15 foot of the vertical loop and its entry into the inside GSHP equipment. Your ground loop using modern pex tubing will outlive your homes 50 year life so yearly amortization is very low and significantly less than than your natural gas or electricity bill you would otherwise pay.

Geo-thermal is not practical in the US. The only source with high enough energy density is the Yellowstone caldera too far from about everything. The environmentalists wanted solar electric but the politicians screwed that up and it would never work anyway with today's solar cell efficiencies. It takes more energy to manufacture the solar cells than you get out of them during their useful life. Now Obozo is going to prevent coal fired generators from being built and convert electrical generation to natural gas. Obozo and the environmentalists are stupid and they are doing exactly what China and OPEC want them to do.
