America Held Hope-filled Day Seven Open Thread


By Request

UDATE: Since some people may not have gotten the shtick of this video, it’s supposed to be a military history of the US from about 1941-2006 or so, with the Americans being the hamburgers, and other nationalities similarly represented. We recognize that some people may not be ready for the use of tongue-in-cheek portrayals of more recent events, I just thought it was a very well-done video.

Make them buy $110k Electric cars....

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Monday, January 26th at 7:21PM EST (link)

Let them (CA’ians) all save to buy $110k Tesla Electric cars….. Obama to review CA EXEMPTION of CAFE STANDARDS to allow them to impose their own more strict standards (Sacramento Bee: EPA likely to grant waiver & RS: Obama Climate $cam)…. Big 3 response should be: CLOSE ALL AUTO-RELATED PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN CALIFORNIA… they won’t, of course! Let all CA ride bicycles instead as Big-3 should just avoid meeting the higher standard and let the Enviro-Terrorists have NO CARS to buy at all.

Never in the hype about electric cars

olsmithie (Diary) Tuesday, January 27th at 12:20AM EST (link)

do they discuss how many nuclear and coal fired plants are required to switch a substantial portion of automobiles to electric. Have to charge them somewhere!

Regards

HA!

CarlSchurz (Diary) Tuesday, January 27th at 12:34AM EST (link)

They never tell you that. Plus with Obama not going to enact heavy anti Coal policies as well as being anti-nuke, the only real option is Natural Gas.

Solar power, well, when you got clouds above their generation capability drops off the scale. And clouds will be more numerous.

Wind generation is iffy. Winds shift. Noisy. People do not want 300 foot tall noisy windmills in their backyard.

Energy infrastructure now, is iincapable of accepting the fluctuating loads from Solar and WInd power.

Which means Obama might look at Natural Gas. How much reserves do we have? Heating and electricity generation plus having to charge all these new Cars with electricity?

Here is my plan. Use nuclear power to desalinate water, pump water to plants that use algae, CO2 and water to produce Green Crude that is chemically identical to Crude Oil. It is carbon neutral, or extremely close to neutral. Or use Nuclear power to seperate the hydrogen out of water and use Hydrogen Fuel Cells.

If it ever becomes common practice that the biggest greenhouse gas is water vapor and not CO2, then Hydrogen Fuel Cells are out of the equation.

How far are we really from Fusion power plants?

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Does any of it really matter? Enviro-Terrorists block grid....

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Tuesday, January 27th at 2:40AM EST (link)

0blahblah has talked about Electric Grid Infrastructure ….. that one I’ll buy into… but amazingly anything CONSERVATIVES talk about the issue it is blocked by Enviro-Terrorists here….. Will be nice to see if Democrats will REALLY take on those clowns to put lines out into the Desert to allow those big Wind-Farms and/or anything else….

Hey, I'm all for that!

JoeG Tuesday, January 27th at 12:51AM EST (link)

Nuclear and coal is DOMESTIC.

We wouldn’t need to build that many plants either. Many base load plants aren’t at full load in the middle of the night. If that’s when the batteries are being charged, then they can put the plants to better use.

Really

CarlSchurz (Diary) Tuesday, January 27th at 1:10AM EST (link)

Depends on how many electric cars. Do we also go with electric big rig trucks?

If we go full blow electric transportation, it’d necessitate a substantial increase in electricity generation.

I figured 10 million Tesla Roadsters driving several thousand miles a year would consume something like 25000 Gigawatt hours of electricity. Annual electrical production in the United States is I think 2 million Gigawatt Hours.

An electric big rig would consume much more electricity. And an electric car can travel just a few hundred miles on a single charge. How long to recharge the battery?

It’d be substantial.

No on the trucks

JoeG Tuesday, January 27th at 2:22AM EST (link)

The cars are borderline possible. But it’s just not possible with trucks. And it won’t be anytime in our lifetimes. There’s way to much energy to make trucks move.

But what is possible is to shift to trains for much of the interstate traffic. Even if they remain diesel, trains are 6X more efficient. Electrified rail is possible, unlike electrifying trucks.

I like the idea of getting our fuel from sources other than terrorist supporters.

Terrorist supporters or terrorists?

The distinction is becoming ever more blurred each day.

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

Federal Govt to DICTATE "Special Elections?!?!"

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Monday, January 26th at 7:26PM EST (link)

REQUIRE SPECIAL ELECTIONS? One of McCANE’s best buddies, Feingold, calls for changes to REQUIRE SPECIAL ELECTIONS to avoid Governor appointments (in response, late as usual, to Blago mess)…. I have gone on and on, see here: Blago discussion [just one of them] that a Special Election should become the norm, but (AS ALWAYS) Democrats don’t see the STATES’ RIGHTS ISSUE! Each State should be looking to change their Laws/Constitution to have their Senate nominate and hold special ‘Senate Election’ within that/their body or Statewide “General Elections” (more here)…. but that is ISSUE FOR EACH STATE MORON (Moron, in this case, D-WI Russ Feingold)!

when I get old. And I don’t have THAT long to go! I’ve been getting AARP mailings for almost 2 years now (I’m not even 51). Remember back in the good old days, when your grandparents weren’t zombies from taking 20 different drugs? When your family took care of family? I know not everyone can do that now, so don’t attack me for my Pollyanna view on this, but is it REALLY the government’s job to take care of us? The rise of the Nanny State. Argghhhh!

AARP recieved "Grants" from the very people they lobby

olsmithie (Diary) Tuesday, January 27th at 12:26AM EST (link)

It has been a while since I looked into it, but one year I recall they received something like 30 million from congress, then turned right around and were lobbying congress.

I always stuff the brochures and what ever I have laying around around in the AARP postage paid envelope and drop it back in the mail. They are no friends of mine. I put them in a class with ACORN.

It took ten years to get them all, but I’ve done it.

Hooray.

the video is supposed to be a look back at US military history (eg, the sushi attacking the hamburgers is Pearl Harbor).

I didn’t “get it” until the 4:00 mark, and it was the rapid juxtaposition of the seemingly innocuous and inane with realtiy that hurt. I just wish I had been warned, and thought others might as well.

Before reading your note, on the 2nd pass, I did get the earlier references.

Still think its too early for most of us though.

Like I said, nothing personal, and if I were my son’s age I would have gotten the references at about 0:04 and been prepared, or decided when to tune out. Your new caveat does the trick with me.

Rep. Conyers – “Change has come to Washington, and I hope Karl Rove is ready for it. After two years of stonewalling, it’s time for him to talk.”

The House Judiciary Committee chairman (Rep. John Conyers) subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove on Monday to testify about the Bush administration’s firing of nine U.S. attorneys and its prosecution of a former Democratic governor.

The subpoena commanded Rove to appear on Feb. 2………………….

—————————–

Cut to February 2nd, House Judiciary Committee Room……….

Rep. Conyers: “Mr. Rove, before we begin, do you have anything to say?”

Mr. Rove: “Ja. Jeg taler Engelsk ikke. Bit meg.”

Hint: That’s Norwegian.

Cheers !
