Hearst attacks Boy Scouts instead of Al Gore.
Most of today's problems could have been avoided with an independent press, but we don't have one. Hearst newspapers are barely in business, and whom do they go after with guns blazing--the Boy Scouts, according to Editor & Publisher.
- A major collaborative effort from 5 of its news organizations seeks to expose environmental corruption by...not Archer Daniels Midland and the ethanol racket, but...
- Why not report the deadly ethanol scam promoted by Kleiner Perkins, and the failures of Kleiner Perkins ethanol pick, Altra? As of 5/18/06 they had collected $50 million in 'funding' for the deadly 'bio-fuel.'
- INSTEAD THEY TARGET AMERICAN CULTURE BY AIMING AT THE BOY SCOUTS. George Soros will be impressed.
- Federal ethanol requirements which are already proving catastrophic were imposed on the US so as to be non-negotiable. Great job.
- Aug. 7 (Bloomberg) -- "U.S. officials rejected Texas Governor Rick Perry's request to ease the requirement for the use of corn- based ethanol in gasoline, saying he didn't prove that the rules were straining grain supplies enough to cause ``severe economic harm.''...
- The decision ensures ethanol producers such as Poet LLC, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Archer Daniels Midland Co., in Decatur, Illinois, will continue to have demand for their fuel. It is a blow to refiners and livestock producers who have fought the increased mandates because of higher costs...
- The decision isn't surprising, said Pavel Molchanov, an analyst at Raymond James & Associates in Houston, ``
- particularly in an election year,
- given the importance of corn-growing swing states, such as Iowa and Minnesota.''
- love their servitude." -- Aldous Huxley (1962 speech at Berkeley)
- (NY Times, Galbraith): "This time of year, wind turbine blades
- ice up,
- biodiesel congeals in tanks and
- solar panels produce less power because there is not as much sun.
- rendering them useless even in bright winter sunshine....
- The culprit was a 20 percent biodiesel blend that congealed in the freezing weather,
- Winter may pose even bigger safety hazards in the vicinity of
- wind turbines. Some observers say
- the machines can hurl chunks of ice as they rotate."...
- (NY Times): "Days are shorter and the sun is lower in the sky during the winter, ensuring less power production.
- Occasionally,...the (wind) turbines will shut down or set off alarms if it is too cold,
- and workers must brave the elements to fix them.
For homeowners, the upkeep of their power sources can also be a bother....
- Experts say that if even one cell in a (solar) panel is covered, the panel will not produce power."...via Lucianne.com, 12/25/08
- Jan. 16, 2009 Ethanol closes down Minnesota schools:
- (Star Tribune, 1/15): "All schools in the Bloomington School District will be closed Friday after state-required biodiesel fuel clogged in school buses Thursday morning and left dozens of students stranded in frigid weather, the district said late Thursday.
Rick Kaufman, the district's spokesman, said elements in the biodiesel fuel that turn into a gel-like substance at temperatures below 10 degrees clogged about a dozen district buses Thursday morning. Some buses weren't able to operate at all and others experienced problems while picking up students, he said....
- The decision to close school today came after district officials consulted with several neighboring districts that were experiencing similar problems. Bloomington staffers tried to get a waiver to bypass the state requirement and use pure diesel fuel,
- but they weren't able to do so in enough time, Kaufman said. They also decided against scheduling a two-hour delay because the temperatures weren't expected to rise enough that the problem would be eliminated."
