One example of Bush's "trifecta" joke, which he has repeated on several occasions: "The recession -- no question, I remember when I was campaigning, I said, would you ever deficit spend? And I said, yes, only if there were a time of war, or recession, or a national emergency. Never thought we'd get -- (laughter and applause.) And so we have a temporary deficit in our budget, because we are at war, we're recovering, our economy is recovering, and we've had a national emergency. Never did I dream we'd have the trifecta. (Laughter.)" (Office of the Press Secretary, 16Apr02: "President Calls on Congress to Show Fiscal Responsibility: Remarks by the President at Meeting of the Leaders of the Fiscal Responsibility Coalition, Room 450, Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building, 3:15 P.M. EDT, posted at www.whitehouse.gov) Or: "I didn't think I was going to draw the trifecta. (Laughter.)" (borrowed., 29Apr02, "Remarks by the President at Heather Wilson for Congress Luncheon")

Bush played quite a joke on US all.  National debt gone from 6 trillion to 9 trillion.  Money borrowed from China and OPEC nations like Saudi Arabia.

Where does the money come from to buy our government bonds that finance our huge new debt? 

From the oil and manufactured products that these creditor nations  sell US.  It's an interesting scam.  Meanwhile bushco inc related companies like halliburton  atain  record profits by raking in maybe 5% of those trillions scammed from US all. 

And then bushco crony lobbyists and politicians collect a tiny percentage of the corporate take.  Quite a food chain your grandchildren's future standard of living takes.  They will owe a 100 trillion if it is ever even payed.

The Bible mentions something called  "jubilee", in which every 50 years all debts are forgiven.  Is that what duuhbya is counting on?  Hehehey.

Jubilee Bible In the Hebrew Scriptures, a year of rest to be observed by the Israelites every 50th year, during which slaves were to be set free, alienated property restored to the former owners, and the lands left untilled.

Instead of setting slaves free this huge debt will enslave future generations to corporations owned by the Saudi, Chinese, and other governments that Bush has borrowed these trillions from in your name.

In the US private debt does not pass through generations, but public debt does.  The US one big debtors prison?  Yer doin' a heckuva job bushie!!

Finally all the progress of unions for decent wages and working conditions and trust busters like Teddy Roosevelt against pludering monopoly corporate power and FDR in instituting a social security safety net overturned.  The ultimate Reagan revolution victory.

How the fractal of our times is destroying spaceship earth.  On the other hand, this realization creates a countervaling fractal.

Read this if you dare!  As the permafrost melts amounts of methane released into the atmosphere will dwarf the already catastrophic greenhouse effect of CO 2 from human combustion sources.

This emergency is on the order of WW 2, it needs WW 2- like war production of renewable energy products.

Wind, solar, geothermal heat pump heating/cooling, and electric vehicles.  Coming off assembly lines as fast as jeeps and tanks and liberty ships in WW 2.

WIND ENERGY DEMAND BOOMING:
Cost Dropping Below Conventional Sources Marks Key Milestone in U.S. Shift to Renewable Energy]

But as with solar panels, the supply of wind plants is limited by lack of capital investment.  That is true because of the monopoly on capital of the fossil and nuclear fuel industries and their government shills and banking partners.

Where are the powerful environmentalists who have access to capital?

Bill Gates?  Investing millions in ethanol.

Ted Turner?   With the biggest ranch in the US where he is raising bison, why doesn't he fund wind?

RFK jr?   He opposes Cape Wind thus encouraging bribrery to outlaw all offshore wind development.  If his opposiyion to Cape wind is honest, why doesn't he co,me out in favor of capital investment in wind in the manufacturing sector for installations in other areas?

We need leaders who have the ear of those controlling capital to step up to the plate.  US consumers have made them wealthy and powerful.  Get with the program guys, let's have an energy revolution!

This is the car project vaguely reffered to in articles about the new power tool batteries being released soon by DeWalt.

Industry moves very slowly.  But at least this technology is on the way.

http://www.unh.edu/p2/biodiesel/article_alge.html

This analysis proposes using open algae ponds to replace current oil based liquid fuels.  An area of 15,000 square miles would be needed to power our present mode of transportation (that is without more efficient vehicles) at one third the cost of oil.

By instead using 15,000 square miles (a park equivalent in area to a circle aproximately 120 miles in diameter)of northen prairie restoration land (as I propose here)  electric plugin hybrid vehicles that use a tenth of the liquid fuel of present vehicles could be charged with wind power.

That would mean that algae/biodiesel farming, to match the reducxed liquid fuel needs, could be contained in solar cogeneration facilities mounted on roofs and over parking lots.  

These collectors would use present power plant emmissions and recycle waste water into clean water and fertilizer and provide the needed biodiesel as well as other biofuel byproducts (alcohol needed for biodiesel processing, methane) and produce heating/cooling energy as well as electricity for buildings where they are located.

As battery technology improves and liquid fuel becomes unecessary for land vehicles, biodiesel from algae will still be useful as fuel for aircraft and a precursoer for the chemical industry, totally replacing those needs now filled by oil.

This is a practical, affordable  path for the energy revolution we so sorely need. 

Well it seems part of the nuclear waste needing reprocessing is the US groundwater supply.  The wonderful wizards that bring US  nuke-you-ler power have been caught leaking radioactive water into our groundwater.

But only in Illinois?  Well not exactly, they have been caught doing this in Florida also...and Mass...and New York...and?

"The NRC records also indicated that over these years the St. Lucie reactors had released over 6800 Curies of liquid tritium--radioactive hydrogen--into local waters. Community groups in western Massachusetts have implicated liquid tritium releases from the now defunct Yankee Rowe nuclear reactor as the cause of abnormally high rates of five kinds of cancer and Down's Syndrome. And in Suffolk County on New York's eastern Long Island, residents have filed a $2 billion lawsuit against the operators of a research reactor at Brookhaven National Laboratory, contending that its leaks of tritium and other radioactive substances into the groundwater have contaminated their community water supply."

Still want a nuke plant in your backyard?  Make sure you have really good health insurance, for your kids especially!  Cancer treatment is extremely expensive.

But maybe with new improved plants these leaks will not happen?  Would you bet your kid's lives on that?

But the worst part of this story?  No filter will separate tritium from groudwater.  Only the incredibly energy intensive process used to make fuel for thermonuclear fusion bombs can do that.

The energy to clean this groundwater pollution would dwarf all the power ever produced by nuclear power plants.

Well spring is almost here!   A waterfall near my home with house sized ice chunks ready to crash is about to sound the call, very loudly!!  (hope to post some video of it here soon)

And what other ice jam has had a jolt lately?  Congress!

Surprising.  The Dubai ports deal was the limit.  People all over America, informed by media figures like Jon Stewart,Lou Dobbs, and Kieth Olberman, wrote and called until the corporate shills in congress finally stood up on their hind legs and barked.

It was a showdown between the corpoRATs in the Bush administration and the corpoRATs in congress.  The congressional rats are running this year so they threatened to over ride the president.

 President Bush, the big oil lobbyist/commander in cheif, that serves his constituents in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates before he considers the security of we the people, has finally been turned down on one of his crony contracting deals with his middle east oil business partners.

Now how about focusing that same anger to get, say 95% of containers coming into US ports inspected, instead of 5% inspected, the dangerous state of port security under Chertoff (incompetent Bush crony appointee, former whitewater assistant prosecuter) and Bush homeland security.

Or how about an energy plan that takes that 15 billion in corporate welfare from the US oil companies that feed 100s of billions of consumer dollars to terror supporting countries in the middle east like Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

And gives that  money, normally wasted through corporate welfare, directly to homeowners and small businesses to install solar panels, wind generators, and drive plugin vehicles.

That would seem to be another issue, just like the ports deal, that could cause a thaw in bribery and corruption on behalf of corporate thieves and their shills in government.
