Holy Christ.

If there was any doubt that they're clueless, it's been completely removed.
Massive Human Dieoff <b>must</b> occur as a result of Peak Oil. Many more than half will die. It will occur everywhere, including where <b>you</b> live. If you fail to recognize this, then your odds of living move toward the "going to die" group.

Bill Maher was on Larry King the other night, and made the following statement:

"America is too stupid to be governed"

Pretty much says it all. Our representatives are equally clueless as the population.

Maybe she's been reading Thomas Gold's book - or Corsi's?

However, I doubt. OED - Our Elected Dumbasses. It's not like the energy debate this summer has exactly been a cornucopia of scintillating intellect.

Of course it's not. It is a probiotic fuel, it is a natural part of the
digestive process deep in the bowels of Gaia and she shoots it
out as little gifts to her children as we dance around the Maypole
and chirp like little birds. If it ever appears to start running out,
Mother Gaia will simply switch to eating more soy and drinking
a beer once in awhile. I wonder if Nancy figured this out on her
own or if Hillary made her read a book on the subject.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Pelosi on Natural Gas: Fossil Fuel or Not?

John D. McKinnon reports on Nancy Pelosi’s statements on energy.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s message on energy, already evolving in recent weeks, might have to evolve a little more.

On NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, the speaker twice seemed to suggest that natural gas – an energy source she favors – is not a fossil fuel.

“I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels,” she said at one point. Natural gas “is cheap, abundant and clean compared to fossil fuels,” she said at another.


Dear Speaker Pelosi,
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are showing gross incompetence with your statements. You need to step down from office to pursue other endeavors. I recommend the housekeeping or food service industries.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--for ever."

Nancy Pelosi: "natural gas is not a fossil fuel"

With scientific illiterates like Nancy Pelosi running things in the Congress, its no wonder the Congress hasn't done anything about the energy facing the US.

Sometimes I think peak oil will blow over and we'll muddle through it somehow or another because there are enough educated and rational people out there to fix things one step at a time. But then I read newslets like this and I think: we haven't got a chance in heck! It's all a disgusting freakshow of lies, betrayal and death, and people who think that things can change for the better are utterly, hopelessly mistaken. We need a global war to smash down everything to it's component parts, so that something sane and fresh might emerge. We should do it NOW.

But she is elected...

I think representative democracy is a form of government which reflects the state, culture and attitudes of society. Only dumb people can elect dumb leaders. It's universal rule and elected MPs really make decision based on their own ignorance, but it's not the worse thing. They generally don't learn - it's a curse of this system. They can't discuss because in general they don't know basics of the matter for which they pass laws.

It's much easier to gain from someone's stupidity when one thinks it was a good job then to buy a politician. And it's the way some of the special interests work. Without it benefits and money wouldn't matter.

Slim pickings. The real experts are doing science, not running for public office.

Scientists aren't needed but people who understand science, power and social dynamics. I'm for democracy mos but it has some prerequisites to work well.

You ignoramuses just don't understand!

She's absolutely right.

I'm only 48 and no way can you class me as a fossil.

But my production of natural gas is plentiful.

..and I actually won the fart lighting contest at Uni at tender age of 19!
