Y2Kyoto: An Ungrateful Gaia – small dead animals

If only ‘Big Al’ would have known about the coming of the whirlwind.
Long ago, before the masses knew celestial mechanics, the religious leaders and politicians of the day used the, then frightening, ‘total eclipse of the sun’ to instill fear and hence control over the citizens. And to help collect taxes.
Nothing is new 🙂

Originally from Saskabush – I find your website interesting!

Beware of the Kyoto whirlwinds now approaching your wallet to bleed it dry. Ahhh, the sweet environmentally justified method to raise taxes on energy and push Canadian’s tax rates into the sixtieth percentile.

Welcome Curt from “Saskabush” :D. I am originally from same. I believe the owner of this blog is from SK. as well. We are in good company.
I came to Alberta, to the city, to make some money. I’ve done so. Soon it will be time to leave the city and work on living a more relaxed lifestyle.
Take care and visit often.

Gaia has provided her prophets Moe the oily and Al the questionable to ride above her whirlwinds with the mighty General Dynamics’ Gulfstream Aerospace unit….the new chariot of the gods.
Gaia provides for her prophets from the pockets of the soiled masses and her legion of Hollywood priests….sustainability is about sustaining the god-like lifestyle of the green prophets at the expense of the collapsing middle class north American tax payer

This week’s news flash: if you want to infuriate everyone on the road, drive the Nissan Altima hybrid as it’s supposed to be driven.
You’ll hear horns when you don’t race off at the light, and drivers will risk life and limb to dart around you when you keep to the speed limit.
It will quickly become obvious that most people still drive as if gasoline was 40 cents a litre.
In the city, I took off from lights as if I had eggs under the pedal, and enjoyed the smug feeling of going from Gerrard to Front Sts. on electricity alone.
On the highway, I set the cruise exactly at 100 km/h, earning me a few death-threat stares from other drivers even though I never ventured out of the right-hand lane.
That’s what I mean about the way most of us drive – dashing off the light, not looking ahead to gauge traffic lights and so cut down on braking and acceleration, and taking the highways at 120 km/h or more. If you’re not willing to give that up, a hybrid’s not going to give its all for you.
I still fell shy of the car’s advertised 5.7 L/100 km combined average, which is normal in real-world use in any vehicle, but my 6.8 figure was good for a mid-size car; in the regular Altima, I used 10.7. [40% difference?= TG]
Thanks to its large fuel tank, Nissan says the Altima Hybrid has the longest range of any vehicle sold in Canada. My odometer hit 620 km at the fuel gauge’s halfway mark, and the trip computer said I was good for 1,000 km before a fill-up.

Nice to see at least one person who drives like this old truck driver.
The ladyfriend*s dad always jams the brake at the light. I told him I could hear metal chewing in his back brakes. Sure enough, the brake job was $700.
Save your money, scan far ahead and float to the light. The $700 you save could be your own. = TG

Sidestepping Gaia, Moe, Al Gourd and the fruitfly gang for an electric vehicle is the best thing we can do for the true problem, *pollution*.
Like anything worthwhile, that is not easy to do. A hybrid is at least possible for many.
A [PEV] hybrid, [plug-in, can run on battery only], is the smart choice. Most hybrids can not run without gas in the tank, making useless during a gas shortage. = TG

TG….where is all this electricity to rechagre these plug-ins coming from?

Al Gore is a gaia worshipping new age eco-wacko crazy green nut case we dont need him anywhere washington D.C. or Mr and Mrs America and all the ships at sea

You know the grid is supplied via Hydro, Nuclear and coal-gen.
Your question though states you think it is more eco-friendly to have millions of mobile power plants converting oil fuels to EMF at about 22% efficiency than to use grid current for 90+% EMF efficiency and no urban pollution.
Silly statement. = TG

P.S.
Was anyone aware of our huge surplus of Natural Gas and the white domed super tankers moving it from Kitimat B.C. to US pacific port pipeline heads feeding it to central U.S. points?

Grid power from LNG is cleaner than coal-generation. No shortage of expansion capacity in our [Western], grid power system. = TG
