Feed Your ADHD: Batboy Named Algae Czar

Yeah right.

OBAMAMYTHS4IDIOTS.jpg


Krauthammer MOCKS Obama

In one moment off the teleprompter when BHO was campaigning against McLame, he said under his environmental plan energy costs would skyrocket.

For once in his life, maybe the only time I can remember, Barry wasn't lying. His energy czar said that Americans should be paying the same a Europeans for gasoline. Give Obama four more years in office and we will be paying $8 or $9 a gallon as they are.

If algae based fuel production were all that promising then private companies would be investing in it, instead our genious in chief is throwing our money at it just as he has with solar and wind programs that did nothing other then squander away our national treasure.

But then that is his real purpose from the beginning, to destroy this country as we know it.

Alinskites can destroy but can they build? And what would they build to replace our society and culture?

I can just hear the Obots now, gas prices are going down before long, dear leader Barry is going to get gas from pond scum so we don't have to keep paying those evil blood sucking big oil companies that cause all the polution that's causing all the climate change that making people starve in Bangladesh.

BP, Shell, and Exxon have all spent a fair amount of money on algae. I think that Shell just backed out of their deal after 4 or 5 years in it. I'm not sure about the others.

I love the idea of growing algae in the ocean and harvesting it for fuel. Technology has a way to go to be viable. 5 dollar a gallon gas soon makes everyone start looking at these alternatives more.

Hey, don't stand in the way of gs' quest to rip Obama for stuff that almost nobody else will.

Algae has been thoroughly researched at ORNL and I have spoken to their lead researchers who know there isn't a future in it. They said this is a purely political play by the administration

I'd give odds the San Francisco outfit has political connections to the democrats, probably to Pelosi.

BTW, Solyndra has evidently left quite a bit toxic waste in it's wake and has no intention of cleaning it up, so in the end it will fall to the taxpayers to pay even more for that fiasco.

Probably so, I don't like the idea of subsidizing it, but if that's the case then why does Exxon have a proposed $600million outlay for it? Solazyme has already powered a plane from Houston to Chicago on the stuff.

Probably just a demo, but not very practical (yet) in the real world.

I just want to reiterate, I don't support subsidies of this type, but I have heard the practicality behind it is that it is a drop-in replacement for fossil fuels. Apparently you can just put it in a tank and not skip a beat. E85 requires somewhat extensive work on the engine you'll be fueling.

My point exactly.

Obama has to keep the AGW, CO2 is a polutant, hoax alive, meanwhile stealing as much money as he can on behalf of his political cronies.

The end game is this; to steal all the gold from the US Treasury. And that my friends has been the plan from the beginning.

That's why I said when Obama was elected; "Everyone hold up your hands, you are about to be robbed."

I'm no expert but I would think land based ponds would be a far better and a more productive source for that sort of algae production than the ocean, provided this was anything more than a pie in the sky, (crack) pipe dream coming from the econazis.

Now reaping kelp from the ocean to be used as a food source, for humans as well as livestock is feasable and may be practical.

The five bucks a gallon gasoline has everthing to do with politics and economics and nothing at all to do with the need to immediately switch to alternative fuels.

"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the [$8-$10/gal] levels in Europe."
- Barack Obama's Energy Secretary Steve Chu.
Had enough yet???

Who knows why, but the scientist I've spoken with at ORNL, Jonathan Mielenz, is considered the best in his field (biofuels). I trust his word over speculating the intentions of Exxon

this will keep on until somebody realizes that algae can be used as a food source

Instead of ripping on me, how about if you tell us how brilliant this move is by Obama and how successful you predict this iniative will turn out in the end??

If so, I sould love to archive that and repost it when we find out this is more crony capapitalism and is just more taxpayer funds thrown down yet another demo crathole!

In 2008 Obama was running around blaming republicans for the horribly high gas prices ($1.80), claiming that gas price was the most critical thing in the USA.

Now he complains because someone has “politicized gas prices”.

Gas was selling at $1.85 per gallon on the day Obama was Inaugurated!

You criticize me for quoting blogs (that happen to be telling the truth rather than cheering on Obama no matter what foolish thing he does next) but a recent study was done and the media prublished approximately ten times as many articles criticizing Bush for increasing gas prices than it has about increasing gas prices under Obama and even then they don't criticize Obama, it's those evil price gouging oil companies.

And Oh, that far right wing FOX news, on the O'Reily factor who did he criticize for high priced gas, no it wasn't Obama it was the evil oil companies.

FWIW, when gas was going up while Bush was president, he granted oil drilling licenses and the price declined (and BHO characteristically has taken credit for increased domestic production although he has less than zero to do with that), what has Obama done, he has further delayed if not totally prevented the Keystone pipeline, he has even defied court orders to start issueing licences for drilling in the Gulf and done every last thing he can to prevent domestic drilling anywhere.

It doesn't stop there either, he is devestating coal fired electrical production in America and that is 50% of our electrical energy.

I say to the less observant among us, BHO is like a bull in a China shop, what he doesn't break he craps on, to the more intelligent among us I say, Obama is a weasel in then henhouse, until he is out, don't expect to be gathering many eggs.

And you milo my little friend, are a real piece of work. :crazy:

Try not to confuse Obots with factoids, it scrambles their brains and is very non policatically position to take.

It isn't even about the envorinment anyway it's about political power.

Socialism and the Hegelian Dialectic [Reader Post] | Flopping Aces

What is the Hegelian dialectic? It is, simply, a series of theses (accepted idea) opposed by antitheses (opposing idea), resulting in a syntheses (new idea). This synthesis then becomes the thesis that is opposed by an antithesis, resulting in a new synthesis, and on and on until a final, ultimate, “perfect” synthesis is realized. Now, to understand where Hegel was coming from, it is important to note that Hegel was a devout socialist. So much so, in fact, that his work, his dialectic, was put into practice by such well-known socialists as Marx and Engels.


”…the State ‘has the supreme right against the individual, whose supreme duty is to be a member of the State… for the right of the world spirit is above all special privileges. -Georg Hegel
Hegel envisioned the same control over people, by the state, that Marx and Engels were guilty of. So, how does this “dialectic” apply to now, today?

My perspective is if Exxon and Shell are investing (and divesting) in this, why does the government need to double down?
