France gets 82 per cent of its electricity from nuclear. Modern nuclear generators of which the US has none can recycle their waste as it retains most of its energy generating capacity.

The NBA's David Stern Does Doo-Doo Diligence
Over 10 years ago I was in a sports book and Vegas chatting up a regular as the NBA played on many of the screens. This guy told me -- over 10 years ago -- that he did not bet the teams but bet the Refs. I asked what he meant and he said he looked for games with favorites at home coupled with certain refs officiating. He said that the refs could easily throw points to the favorite with foul calls so that the favorite could beat the spread (if they could not beat it on their own).

How McCain and Crist Help Big Oil Change the Subject
Oil companies spend huge amounts of money and apply tremendous expertise to find the oil that we need. Why punish them for doing their job?
If you want lower oil prices, increase the supply.
Using the example of Tunisia that lets companies recover all costs before applying royalties and taxes (Candax, an offshore producer that pulls it out for $10/barrel in exchange for giving its natural gas by product to Tunisia for near nothing, is an example) and in return Tunisia gets jobs, future taxes and royalties, and nat gas by products that fuel their electrical generating stations.
Why does the US not let companies drill offshore in exchange for half of the first 500,000 barrels be sent to the US strategic oil reserve (or an equivalent cash amount)? More supply, lower prices, and more US jobs. posted 07/01/2008 at 08:57:36

The real threat to poor countries is the US policy of supporting ethanol as a huge portion of the world's food supply is now being BURNED rather than eaten thereby driving up the price of all food because of the reduced supply.
Why don't we just use common sense: 1) Use nuclear energy for electricity; 2) Use natural gas for home heating because it is in your home and clean; and 3) Use crops for food and not fuel. posted 06/26/2008 at 11:50:11

Offshore drilling--No! Climate-friendly energy--Yes!
Firstly, it is hard to take your seriously when you don't add CO2 and air pollution free nuclear energy to the list. France gets 80% of its electricity from nuclear, why can't the US; particularly, when a huge majority of the world's uranium is found in the US and Canada.
Secondly, as for offshore drilling, you can go from drill in the water to pumping out oil in less than a year. As I noted before, I own Candax -- a Tunisian producer -- that did just that and is now pulling oil out for $10/barrel (up 20% yesterday on 3 year record volume).
I suspect your main concern is the deindustrialization of the West rather than protecting the environment (and, yes, I have solar panels on my roof from Day4Energy (dot com) that produce the electricity that powers this post and my entire home) posted 06/26/2008 at 07:11:48

Daniel Yergin, Oil Expert, Doesn't Blame Speculators For Oil Prices
It is true and those countries are buying oil on the margin and driving up prices.
You can attack speculators out of ignorance or say you want to tax oil companies, but that won't result in one extra barrel of oil being pumped. Of course, the Dems have no answers as they don't want to drill for domestic oil (to say nothing of denying the jobs that such drilling would create), they don't want to import oil from Canada's oil sands, and they don't support nuclear energy.
By the way, that Tunisia offshore oil producer -- Candax -- that I mentioned recently as an example of a company that found and pumped oil offshore within a year and that struck a deal with tunisia to give Tunisia their nat gas by product to create electricity in exchange for not paying taxes and royalties on their oil until all their costs are recovered was up 20% today on 6 times normal volume.

Congress Holding 40th Hearing This Year On The Cause Of High Oil Prices
Democrats in Congress do not want to allow the import of oil from Canada's Oil Sands because of concerns of CO2 output involved in the process of extracting the oil (this was actually reported this week) See, whenever you give a Dem a solution they give you a reason not to do it. By the way, the most "environmentally friendly" producer of oil from the Oil Sans is Connacher Oil (CLL.to) and they use steam created from they Nat Gas by-product. The absolute best process would be to use steam from nuclear generation, but the environmentalists are against that too. posted 06/25/2008 at 10:01:25
My reply:
1) They are not drilling on that land, I suspect, because they believe oil is not under it or it is economical. I own a small Tunisian oil company -- Candax -- that found oil offshore Tunisia and started drilling and extracting oil within one year. Why not let oil companies drill where they are fairly certain (of course, if you don't let then drill who knows) cheap oil can be found.
2) Nuclear energy is CO2 and air pollution free. As for waste, it retains over 90% of its energy generating potential and Israel recycles theirs. The problem with the US is that a new reactor hasn't been built for 30 years so they are using 40 year old technology.
3) I have solar panels on my house (Day4Energy), but they don't work at night or when it is cloudy. You cannot maintain the benefits of industrialization with wind and solar power.
4) Venezuela is actually producing 30% less oil than when Chavez took everything over, despite it being more economical to pump their heavy oil. Governments are not good at finding oil or extracting it. Period.
5) China and India are new "demand" that won't stop the move to industrialization. I don't know about India, but I know China has started to build 40 new reactors it is set to have operational by 2012 -- they are of the modern variety and are expected to produce as much electricity as almost the entire US gets from posted 06/25/2008 at 09:57:05

3. Problems in Nigeria leading to a shortage of sweet crudge (Saudi oil is sour);
4. Nationalization of oil companies in Venezuela resulting in less production;

As for recycling nuclear "waste," it does retain over 90% of its energy generating power and Israel uses a process that recycles such waste (remember, the US has 30 year old technology for its reactors) because at a price per pound of uranium over $80 it becomes economical.

I would support that moratorium on coal for electrical generation if it coincided with a push for the nuclear generation of electricity as it is air pollution free (and CO2 free, if you care). In addition, nuclear waste retains over 90% of its electrical generating potential which means Israeli efforts to recycle it will be more practical and common with these high prices. Throw in the fact that a huge majority of the world's uranium is in safe countries of Canada, US, and Australia and it is the source of energy for the future that best matches the needs of industrialization with environmentalism. posted 06/23/2008 at 13:07:09
