Unfortunately, looking at the heads of the EPA and DOE provides little reason for optimism. And these two look like management gurus when compared with the antics of another Government agency … http://bit.ly/qVdDUt

We are reading today that the cost of new vehicles, because of the new EPA standards, would also increase the price tag of new vehicles by $2,000.

If nothing else, this should be a major eye opener to those supporting the newly crowned flavor of the week, Newt Gingrich. He is in support of ethanol subsidies, and has drawn a paycheck from one of the ethanol lobyists over the years. No wonder he is polling at 32% in the latest Iowa polling. I think we are seeing that the evangelicals in Iowa are more concerned with their federally subsidized ethanol industry than they are with their one time strong support of moral and family values. No surprise there.

Perry supporters, let’s flood newspapers in Iowa with support for our candidate and send money! Money will help Gov. Perry keep those powerful ads rolling, provide money for mailers.

We can’t afford to subsidize any energy development. We have private sector companies that can fund ethanol production. Farmers are making more money per bushel of corn today than ever before in American history. Prime corn ground in the cornbelt used to cost in a range from $1500-$3500 per acre depending on production capability. Today, its ranging between $7000- and even up to $10000 per acre. Yes, their expenses and fuel are up too but we’re in dire straits here, Mr. American Farmer. We can’t subsidize the trucker that hauls your grain, the plant that processes it or the grocery chain that sells it and we can no longer subsidize you, especially those that get checks NOT TO PLANT OR PRODUCE. We can’t afford to subsidize any business. We have 14 million people out of work, costs are going through the roof on every single aspect of life. Ethanol is not your only ticket to good prices for your grain. The world is starving. Food is a luxury for some countries and if things don’t change pretty darn fast around here, it’ll be the same in America. Your land will always be valuable; they’re not making any more of it. You have the best job security of anybody at this point in time. People always, always must eat. Ethanol is inefficient, its hard on engines, it produces more pollution, its difficult and dangerous to transport by truck or rail. We don’t have to take 6 out of 10 ears of corn and burn it in engines. We have a 300 year supply of fossil fuels just waiting to be ‘harvested’.

God created oil and coal for energy. He created grain and livestock that eat it for food. We don’t have a shortage of fossil fuels. We do have a shortage of food.

It’s time for every American, regardless of occupation to take responsibility for putting this country back on track. Farmers, unions, anybody and everybody that relies on the federal govt. to ensure they have a decent living whether from direct paychecks or subsidy–its time to stand on our own. Will you fight to the end to get your govt. check and subsequently sell your country’s future and that of your children down the river? Take a hard long look at what is happening in this country and decide what YOU can do to make it better. Time is running out. We’ve hit $15 trillion now in debt so can you really justify your argument that your industry must get a govt. handout so you have a guaranteed income?

…on foreign oil, or more correctly hostile sources of foreign oil, then the answer is simple;

Approve the XL pipeline immediately
Open up ANWR
Speed up approvals if gulf drilling
Approve drilling in the Chukchi sea
Open up more areas on and offshore to drilling

We have the resources, what we lack is the political will to stop the eco-Marxists who are Hell bent on shutting down ALL fossil fuel production and use in the US.

This is a problem with a grade school solution.

We pay for Ethanol four times. First, we pay through our tax dollars to subsidize the industry. Second, we pay more at the pump to buy E10 (in most states) vs. pure gasoline. Third, we pay more because our fuel economy drops, thus requiring us to fill up more often. Forth, we pay more at the grocery store because apparently when you burn a good portion of your food, food prices rise. Only Congress could come up with a plan that would require us to pay four times to get something we have always had (fuel for our vehicles). Amazing.

Here is a specific question to ask the car companies – “do all your engines have enough extra fuel injection capacity to handle engine cooling via rich fuel strategy while making maximum power during hot conditions?”

The reason why this is important is because during maximum power, the fueling system provides extra fuel to the engine to keep it cool. However, E15 requires a significant increase in fuel quantity required for maximum power. If the engine was not designed to handle E15, it may not be able to cool the engine with extra fuel. The end result will be detonation (and holes in the engine block).

fits right in with what I posted yesterday re Sen Toomey’s tax plan.

You’re telling the peasants what is being done to them!
You’re part of the elite and supposed to cover it up!
The peasants are part of the masses and should be using mass transit. There is no excuse for one of the 535 to be exposing the inner workings of the plans.
Keep this kind of thing up and people will start to notice what’s happening up on The Hill and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Thank you, sir, for what you have done here.

The EPA is run by environmentalists. They want an unobtainable
perfect environment and do not care how much it will cost. www.newsandopinions.net

their leftist “Green” agenda. nothing else matters but their control of our energy sources. I’m sure if someone could dig deep enough they would find that the EPA and other worthless DC entities are about another type of green but it has nothing to do with the environment. The Eco-lobby is extremely strong so they are padding the pockets of the EPA officials while all the time telling us about their supposed concern for the planet. I call B. S. on the whole lot. Just another wasteful spendthrift group of bureaucrats. Hopefully they will be gone along with ‘dear leader” after november-12.

because he who controls the Spice controls the universe.
