... on oil, which explains how the state can be number one in state government spending while ranking far down the list in taxes its residents pay. Alaska has no income tax or sales tax. Recently, its legislature suspended the gasoline tax. Up to a quarter of an Alaskan's family income comes directly from the profits of oil companies. This may need a bit of explaining. Back in the 1970s, when liberal Republicans still roamed the earth, ...

..., to hand hundreds of billions dollars to the very reckless shysters who drove us off this cliff in the first place. For the partially inflated punching bags which pass for most members of Congress, in case of fire, pour on more gasoline. Just remember, as long as there are 15 minutes left, even for a president and vice president supposed to leave office anyway, there is PLENTY of time left to impeach, for that is how long a vote in the ...

... vehicles in Europe: Have you compared U.S. gas prices to European gas prices? Have you considered what constitutes the largest component of the cost of a liter of gas pumped from a European fuel pump? Hint: it is not gasoline. If you had lobbied and voted for politicians who promised to tax gas at the pump at 100 to 200%% of the wholesale price of the product, and they had been elected, and enacted those policies, I guaran-damn-tee...

.... But there is still lots of cheaper to produce oil in the world, so that's what gets pumped. (C) demand is still growing, not just here but all over the world. Wrong. Demand has dropped in the US. Gasoline refineries have had their production cut back to keep away from an over supply condition. Again, there is no free market so there is no need to worry about cutting supply back and someone else stepping up to plate. So no ...

... trip to focus on the economy. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/09/18/bush.economy/ "That's interesting. I hadn't heard that." -- George Bush, Feb. 28, 2008, when told that some analysts are predicting gasoline could go up to $4 a gallon. GWB is always the last to know about anything that would help average everyday American citizens in real times of need, but first to take an aggressive action with lies and misinformation as the ...

... endless mocking of Obama as a "community organizer" -- McCain said his presidency would be about eliminating "partisan rancor." Earlier in the campaign, McCain approved ads accusing Obama of everything from causing $4 a gallon gasoline (a silly charge) to stiffing wounded U.S. troops in Germany by canceling a visit because he couldn't bring along cameras (a false accusation). More recently, McCain and his team have blamed Obama for ...

... during the past five years when the rampant practice of securitizing mortgages took responsibility out of the loan-making game? Was it the expiration of the uptick rule that allowed short sellers to drop rumors like matches on the gasoline of market panic?" Yes, yes, and yes. Behind these "yes" is moral irresponsibility. "It's about time someone put moral hazard back on the industry. And what's Wall Street doing with it? Punting, of ...

.... We know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - it merely changes form. If we take the potential (in this case chemical, molecular) energy in a barrel of oil and burn it, it changes to heat energy. When we burn gasoline in our car's engine, we get kinetic (motional) energy, plus some heat, as an engine is not 100%% efficient. When we use our car's brakes to bleed off some of that kinetic energy (slow down), that energy is ...

... policy. A water facility processes 3 million gallons of reclaimed water per day and serves more than 90 percent of the campus. While most university fleet vehicles run on E85 ethanol (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline), some chug along on used oil from campus cafeterias. Highlight Waste: Campus recovers 40 percent of its waste and aims to divert, reclaim or reuse 100 percent by 2015. Student activism: The last three student ...
