It’s the summer of highway traffic jam hell in China
Posted by admin / Under Energy Crisis
HUAIAN COUNTY, CHINA—So you think struggling home from Ontario’s cottage country was tough? Think again. And consider, if you will, the case of Chinese trucker Pang Laisuo. On Sunday his coal-laden transport truck was caught in a traffic jam near here, about 240 kilometres north of Beijing. Pang knew he’d have something of a wait. What he didn’t know was that it would last 18 hours. “Everyone who pulled up at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon ended up being stuck there until 10 o’clock Monday morning,” says Pang, a lean and grizzled man in his 50s speaking at a roadside stop...

Dem's agenda is costing American jobs
Posted by admin / Under Energy Crisis
The anti-business agenda of Obama and the Democrats is a major factor. The only way a job is created is for someone to risk their money to start or expand a business. Anyone considering that must look at current and future economics. That look shows an increasing level of financial risk and headaches as Obama keeps pushing for higher taxes, higher energy costs, more regulation and more forced unionism. Obama Care has a new accounting nightmare, that requires a 1099 for all financial business transactions over $600... Obama is still pushing for the card check bill, which eliminates the secret...

Senator Says Fire Shows Need to Ban Oil Drilling
Posted by admin / Under Energy Crisis
The fire at a Mariner Energy Inc. oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico has spurred calls for even stricter controls over who might be allowed to drill where for oil. This particular well is too shallow to have been covered by President Obama’s moratorium on deep water drilling. Both the fire and the fact that the well fell outside the President’s ban was a matter of “grave concern” to Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ).”If nothing else, this disaster is further proof that oil drilling is an inherently dangerous practice one that we must stop,” Lautenberg said. “Most people don’t realize...

Key oil spill evidence raised to Gulf's surface
Posted by admin / Under Energy Crisis
A crane hoisted a key piece of oil spill evidence to the surface of the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, giving investigators their first chance to personally scrutinize the blowout preventer, the massive piece of equipment that failed to stop the gusher four months ago. It took 29 1/2 hours to lift the 50-foot, 300-ton blowout preventer from a mile beneath the sea to the surface. The five-story high device breached the water's surface at 6:54 p.m. CDT, and looked largely intact with black stains on the yellow metal. FBI agents were among the 137 people aboard the Helix Q4000...

'Huge decisions' loom on Arctic drilling, Salazar says
Posted by admin / Under Energy Crisis
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Friday while visiting Anchorage that he plans to make critical decisions related to proposed drilling in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas in the coming months. In his three-day visit to Alaska this week, Salazar flew over the two seas and visited Barrow and several oil developments on the North Slope in advance of making what he called "huge decisions that loom on the horizon" for the Arctic. Shell Oil, for example, hopes to explore on its offshore leases in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas next summer. Salazar decided not to sign off on the...
