Oil Speculators Cost Consumers $31 Billion this Summer
Bush and the Republicans have thwarted attempt after attempt by Democrats to pop the speculative oil bubble and provide relief to consumers. Each time, Republicans sided with Big Oil over the American people.
Finding the Toilet in Stockholm
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.
T. Boone and Me
Flying to visit his wind operations in Sweetwater, Texas, T. Boone Pickens makes it clear that his next wind project is big, Texas-style -- 4,000 megawatts up in the Panhandle north of here.
The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: Back From Alaska
I thought I'd go up join in with a few of my eco-insensitive brothers and have a look at where the new oil wells are going to be and grab a nice polar bear and bald eagle sandwich.
Drill Here, Drill Now, Get Nothing but an Opinion poll point or two
My disappointment comes from the fact that politicians on both sides of the aisle still don't really get that climate change is a planetary time bomb. They still think it's a political football.
McCain's Bumper Sticker Strategy
The simple-minded bumper stickers are back, and boy do they look good on the rear window of a 4x4: "Drill Here Drill Now." The policy they propose, though, doesn't look so good.
Car Industry Group to Public: It's Not All Our Fault, It's Yours Too
It's the same story we've been hearing from car-makers, especially those in Detroit, for the past 30 years: "Just wait a little longer and we'll have those new cars and trucks you've been hoping for."
Eco-Gingrich and "Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less."
Advertised as "tri-partisan," Gingrich is seeking to wrap himself in some form of post-partisan sainthood, a repackaging enabled by the We Campaign's embrace.
Friday Talking Points [41] -- The Silly Season
I have a confession to make. I actually watch the network news. Maybe I should enter into a twelve-step program or something. But I don't watch the ...
Why Does the Media and the American Public Allow McCain to Ignore the Facts with No Consequences?
If Britney or Paris were to claim they were virgins, the media and public would go into apoplexy, but McCain can be equally dishonest about important policy issues, and virtually nobody says a word.
Carbon Tax? We Don't Need No Carbon Tax, We Already Have One.
We are already paying carbon taxes, and they are working the way environmentalists said they would. But let's try not to send so much of it to oil companies and the Middle East.
McCain's New Commercial Should Drive Voters to Obama
What is McCain's next commercial going to be? That Obama is responsible for global warming? The recent outbreak of salmonella? The inability of the Chicago Cubs to win a World Series?
The Largest Onland Gas Field in the U.S.: The Haynesville Shale and My Father Was Right
Although we need to find cleaner ways to fuel our economy, perhaps there is some poetic justice in the fact that this rural forgotten area has hit the jackpot.
How Not to Lower Gas Prices
80% of the oil and gas resources off our coasts are already available for leasing and drilling. Listening to Bush, McCain and others, you'd think we've been locking up all our resources -- the opposite is true.
More US Oil Drilling: A Boom for Big Oil, A Bust for Consumers
More domestic drilling means more product for oil companies to sell at the high world market price. The consumer doesn't see a cent, while oil companies rake in even more cash.

Diddy's Gas Price Video Complaint: He Has To Fly Commercial, Wants Free Saudi Oil

What he could have been doing with the other $198,000 he was spending flying from NYC to LA when he could have been flying first-class commercial all along (McCartney purportedly flies coach). Well, maybe now instead of trying to get the Saudis to give him some "charity" -- Diddy could give more out. A large contribution to feed hungry children is a great idea for someone with that kind of cash. Maybe a nice large one towards developing alternative energy.
I just don't care to hear the rich and famous complain about expenses when they make as much 50 "regular" people in a year's time.
Hey Diddy, any sympathy for those of us who can't afford to fly at all?
Pity for Diddy?
California has oil off it's coast why don't you go drill some? Oh, that's right...I almost forgot...the Dems don't want you to drill..
