... oil dissolved in the gas, which condenses out when its compressed for the pipelines. We see the tanker trucks all the time, and that traffic is tearing up the roads build only to haul farm equipment. Part of the surplus plus increased gas taxes will pay for road repairs. But the message is not lost on some of us, that if the Untied States of Denial dissolves, that between the hydro, gas, and oil, we will have enuf energy to run our ...

... far made more than 6,000 infants ill and by Thursday September 18th had killed four, shows controls remain dangerously slack. The government blames middlemen who collect milk from dairy farmers. They allegedly added water to increase its volume and, to disguise this, mixed in melamine, a chemical used to make plastics, which can deceive inspectors about the milk’s protein content.

... should it be about forcing an issue? Seattle was the first major mass mobilization on the streets of America since the democratic convention riots of 1968. But since those pre-millennium days in '99, demonstrations have increased dramatically worldwide. On the night of John Mc Cain's speech an Iraq War Veteran managed to sneak inside the convention center and display a sign that said "McCain Votes Against Vets". All Republican eyes ...

... seize the terms of debate and show that we have answers, and we have solutions. That is going to be primarily up to you. We've seen that the mainstream media is willing to follow the right wing down the hellhole of increasing carbon emissions for short-term potential gains on gas prices. It's going to be up to you to tell a different story. What is actually happening on our side that's not being covered? Three things. Number one: We ...

The exhaustion of its oil resources has not yet shown up in the economy or government coffers because of the fivefold increase in the price of oil since 1988 and by the relatively high returns the fund, now with more than $35 billion in assets, has earned. Alaska has the most unbalanced and least diversified economy of all 50 states. Yet ...

.... But that's not saying much: in the summer, the Santa Ana's flow is nearly 100 percent wastewater. The river's base flow -- what enters the channel from runoff, rain and wastewater-treatment plants -- is increasing. Not only is more effluent entering the river, a consequence of population growth, but as the county develops and paves more surfaces, rainwater runs off the earth faster, sluicing into the river channel before it can sink ...

Doofus, *everyone* -including the oil industry and John ...growing, not just here but all over the world. So no matter *how* you cut it, increased demand and a constantly shrinking supply will mean rapidly increasing oil prices for as long as the reserves hold out, and when it's gone, it'...
