Build Coal-to-Oil Conversion Plant Now!

Nomen Nescio · 2006-04-21T19:00:35+00:00

We'll be riding bicycles before long unless the Government invests in theworld's largest coal-to-oil conversion plant. Also on the list, oil shaleand tar sands conversion plants.I did not say alcohol production plants...that's a political charade pockedfull of false promise. Only hydrocarbon based fuel production yieldspositive yields of input vs output energy. Alcohol, hydrogen, and everyother scheme must be put to rest and buried so we can focus on the realsolution for the next 200 years. Beyond 200 years, fusion power hopefullywill result in liquid and gas fuel for vehicles (air, land, sea).We can best wage war on the terrorists and their backer nations by buildingthese plants and becoming 100% self-sufficient on oil. War making in Iraqis not an effective war on terrorists. For those of you who like the Iraqwar, you will love the upcoming Iran war and North Korea war. Stay tunedfor more wars unless our Government gets some sense and puts the money intoconversion plants instead of killing "insurgents" which half the time areordinary civilian fathers, mothers, and boy and girl children, totallyinnocent people. Our President should spend less time in church and moretime repenting for what misery he has wrought upon innocents in hisfoolhardy desire to liberate them from dictators and install systems offreedom and liberty... Bless him if only he could perform this miracleright here in the States. (Martha Stewart is a prime example--She shruggedher shoulders and got 2 years in the penitentiary for it because LYING isall it takes for a federal felony--and I bet you thought you had to drawblood or do a stickup to earn prison stripes.)There is a reason why Congress has not declared this Iraq war. They wouldnot have, will not, and will not ever declare it in the formal way WWII(the last righteous war) was declared. Sure, the Congress voted for themoney to wage this President's war -- its to "support the troops". But whywould Congress declare a war when the war...

Carter did little to help the economy. He did cut military pay which demoralized the troops and created an exodus of talented Officers and NCO's, but he continued to run the country on deficit spending. Who can forget stagflation - where interest rates outpaced inflation and the prime reached an unprecedented 21 percent in 1980.

Worse, with inflation running high, the Democratic Congress voted to index payments for several major entitlement programs. As the national debt grew, the annual interest payments on that debt grew as well. In four years, Carter?s total deficits totaled 227 billion dollars ? more than Johnson, Nixon, and Ford combined, and he drove the national debt close to a staggering 1 trillion dollars.

How how true it is that the first gas crisis came under Nixon or the prices went up under Bush.

And what is Bush's annual deficit now?

Did Carter get us into a war which he can't finish?

Carter was a lousy President, however.

Carter will be remember in the history books for his failure in Iran that has indeed led us into war today, and maybe again tomorrow, as well as the years of stagnation and double digit inflation that wiped out the value of everyone savings, investments and pensions. It was not until almost three years into Reagan's first term until the tax rate cuts lead to the dynamic grow in the country up to the end of the century.

Who are the dimocrats? Or is your arguement so week that you have to do namecalling?

Raising taxes on gasoline will decrease the use of gasoline and improve efficency.
