Energy

Regressives hate this energy-producing process

See the “oil pyramid” in the diagram below? Note the 800 billion barrels of “oil shale” reserves. But wait…how the heck do they get oil out of rock? Have you ever wondered exactly how “horizontal drilling” and “hydraulic fracking” is done? It’s a process making the U.S.A. the world’s biggest energy-producer…as in “Saudi Arabia won’t matter … Read more

EPA decides to be both Legislative and Executive Branch – outlaws coal generated electricity

So, where is all that electricity going to come for Obama’s million electric cars?

Coal Fired Electrical PlantThe proposed rule — years in the making and approved by the White House after months of review — will require any new power plant to emit no more than 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt of electricity produced. The average U.S. natural gas plant, which emits 800 to 850 pounds of CO2 per megawatt, meets that standard; coal plants emit an average of 1,768 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt.

Legislation?  What the heck does our Monarch Obama wants to do with that?

What was That Obama Said About Production Being Up?

I think Mr. Obama said something about us drilling more now than before he was president.  Drilling for what, Bull S**t? And just to reiterate a point I, and many others, have made previously about “subsidies, tax breaks, and special Federal deals for energy companies, and let me add ‘any’ companies–don’t just stop subsidies for … Read more

Is President Obama a “ruthless, uncaring S.O.B.”?

To the Editor: Henry Osmer objects to calling our President a “ruthless, uncaring s.o.b.”. I would not call him that, but I wonder about others. If my brother were a multi-millionaire but wouldn’t help me when I live in a hut on $20 per month, how caring might I consider my brother? If I had … Read more

“Not Our Fault, ” Says PSNH CEO Gary Long

“An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame.” —Bo Bennett 

Wednesday, Public Service of New Hampshire President Gary Long went before The Governor and Executive Council and members of the Public Utilities Commission and shamelessly defended PSNH’s dismal response to the Halloween Snow storm that left thousands without power.

As conveyed in the Union Leader story yesterday, Long blamed the weather and trees, not PSNH and told the council he was, “quite proud of PSNH’s tremendous efforts,” calling the storm response “a success story.” Long took no responsibility. He even went so far as to blame customers, saying that all of the outages were caused by trees, most of which are were, outside the trim zone, fingering state laws for he says makes it hard to trim the trees. He blamed the rate payer for, “not being adequately prepared.”

NH Wind Farm Project Comes With Inside Deal Making?

NH Wind and Jeanne Shaheen KickbacksThere is a major Wind farm project underway in Coos county.  The principle players are GraniteWind, which is owned by Brookfield Renewable Power and a company called Freshet Wind Energy. (more on them in a moment)

Brookfield has gotten press recently because Brookfield Properties (same company) owns Zucotti Park where the #OWS hippies are hanging out.  Mayor Bloomberg girlfriend sits on Brookfield’s board, and George Soros and some other big Democrat Donors are heavily invested in Brookfield, which has just received a $168 million dollar Federal Green energy loan for the New Hampshire Wind farm project courtesy of the US Department of Energy, which was lobbied by the firm run by Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.

Just about everyone is short stroking that set of circumstances, and it is far too convenient to seem like a random coincidence, but there is a New Hampshire connection that is far more interesting if you just take the time to dig a little bit deeper.

Laying Some Pipe

The Democrat controlled Senate had the opportunity to create jobs, generate growth, add some tax revenue, and did I say create jobs? But Harry Reid couldn’t bring himself to get the Keystone XL Pipeline project approved before the recess.

Jeanne Shaheen’s Sticky Situation

In the “stupid things said by former governors of New Hampshire who have become US Senator’s category,” Jeanne Shaheen (Greene Shaheen) dominates. As another hack of the environmental movement she has said some incredibly stupid things and intimated plenty of others, forever making us proud.

Northern Pass: Still Ignoring the Overarching Reason for Opposition

“The only people who support the use of eminent domain for private development are cities that use it, developers and businesses that benefit from it and planners who plan it. Everyone else hates it.” – Dana Berliner, Senior Attorney, Institute for Justice  Yesterday’s Union Leader featured, Another View of Why New Hampshire should be open … Read more

Speculate This Jeanne Shaheen

Back in 2007 when Jeanne Shaheen was demagoging rising gas prices for political points, she insisted it was evil oil speculators who were manipulating the price to get rich off hardworking Americans. But then prices went down, Shaheen got her Obama bump and became a Senator, and she stopped picking on those imaginary speculators. But … Read more

Candidate Obama Bullish on Oil?

The Financial Times reports (free subscription) that the Obama White House is planning to call on oil companies to increase domestic production. In another Obama speech, today, the new plan is expected to focus on Oil, responsible natural gas, and a hot button for the left–when they claim to be in favor of drilling–forcing oil companies to use idle leases.

You think that THIS has something to do with…

…that? Energy is the ability to work.  I keep hearing all the time that we have to go clean, go green.  Problem is, all of these energy sources have their own problems, least of which that they are so bad at what they do, nobody would be involved with them without massive government subsidies.  Take … Read more
