Gallup: Palin comes thisclose to replacing Hillary as most admired woman

Alaska to get Sarah Palin’s dream gas pipeline through Canada

Today the final Canadian government report was released which reviewed the proposed natural gas pipeline from the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska through Canada’s Northwest Territories. It took 3 years and $16 Million for this study on the Mackenzie Valley pipeline to be completed and approved in Canada.

This is the same pipeline that Alaska was waiting for, as it will run Alaska natural gas to hook into the Canadian pipeline system and then run south to locations in Canada and the USA.

If the Alaska gas is channeled into this pipeline, then it would have to be bigger in diameter by about 50 percent with the huge amount of natural gas that Alaska wants to ship south over the next 5o years.

This is related to the same contract that Sarah Palin signed just a few weeks before she was picked to run as vice president with Senator John McCain in august 2008.

The price of the Alaska portion of the line was at least $24 billion U.S., but that price was 5 years ago.

The Financial Post has more details.

Obama will always be the fist black Ameican to be president.

That is his legacy.

And it IS impressive.

Regardles of politics.

This poll makes sense.

Why is that impressive? Seriously…why is being black impressive any more than being white or green.

He’s not even all that black, unless he’s at an ACORN meeting! He’s mostly white and Arab. And if he’s like most white folk, their three or 4 nationalities (German, French, Irish, etc) thrown in there as well. Around here he’d have every bit of that, if he was white, and probably some sort of Indian blood as well, probably Cherokee.

Besides, we all know Bill Clinton was the first black president!

There is NOTHING admirable about Obama, NOTHING. It was mostly white guilt, or fear of being called a racist that got that loser elected, nothing more. He should be embarrassed about that, not happy.

The man had no accomplishments whatsoever before he took office, and has accomplished nothing since, I mean NOTHING.

Oy!

LOL Suck what? Sounds like this pig is a pork boondoggle that makes no economic sense but is still somehow “good.” RINO, anyone? LOL

The biggest barrier is still economics. The project proposes transferring as much as 1.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Beaufort Sea in the Northwest Territories to Alberta. Given the abundance of shale gas deposits in North America and the fact that natural gas prices have plummeted almost 60% from their peak last year, experts said that building the Mackenzie project does not make much sense right now.

Shows you what you know, idiot.

Several items. ONE, Alaskan Governors have promised this deal in their campaigns for 50 freakin’ years.

Took Sarah two to make it a reality.

She actually got the paperwork started within a couple hours of going to work on her FIRST DAY in office.

MOST of this deal, and by most, I mean pretty much ALL of it, will be paid for with PRIVATE MONEY, not taxpayer dollars.

That was the genius of this deal, and why it worked when the rest crashed and burned.

Exxon-Mobil is one of the partners in this.

Now, the pipeline will not be completed until 2019, just about the time she is halfway through her second term as President.

By then, we will have, if we are smart, converted much of our automotive fleet over to compressed natural gas, the absolute cleanest burning fuel there is.

We should have already done this. The technology is mature, and with current engine management systems, the latest in direct injection, and more, it’s stupid not be be using CNG. Diesels can be converted to this as well.

You want to actually reduce REAL harmful emissions, and not the pretend ones like CO2? Here’s your deal.

Ford, GM, and Chrysler already make cars, trucks, and buses that run on CNG, and have for decades.

This is a no brainer.

Anyhow, by the time the pipeline is finished, the market for natural gas will be robust.

The quote you pulled is from some of those who still hope to derail this, because they bought stock in other oil companies, who want to do this sort of thing, but with their route, and their guys. Been trying to derail it since day one. Several are in the Alaska legislature.

This is the sort of crap that routinely sees Alaska politicians end up in orange jumpsuits. Sarah sent a few of these jackasses to prison herself!

BTW, you can also make the same observation about the price of gasoline, it’s collapsed from it’s high, as well, and they are still pumping oil as fast as they can pump it!

The United States has 100o’s of trillions of feet of natural gas. As Investor’s Business Daily puts it, we are the “Saudi Arabia of natural gas.”

Develop this, build some nukes, and we could become totally energy independent.

I have an idea, instead of being an idiotic troll, how about you go get yourself some education!

As usual, Sarah is on the cutting edge of things!

Now, kindly go pound sand.

TL;DR. RINO NeoCon rejoices that Exxon bought off The Quitter. Quitter agrees to provide taxpayer dough. (Just a wee bit, though. You betcha!)

Added bonus: Palinbot believes our country’s cars will soon be running on natural gas. Or tinfoil brainwaves. Or something.

Palin/Exxon 2012!

Poor stupid troll…..

As someone else pointed out, while Exxon-Mobil participated in this deal…and why not, it’s a money maker, they are not exactly Sarah’s biggest fans.

Sarah was really good about singling them out when she wanted to “make an example out of someone.” Hammered ‘em hard more than a few times.

As for “payoffs” you really are stupid, especially since going after that sort of thing is where Palin made her bones! What do you think was behind the whole deal at the AOGCC?

Yeah, GOP Chair Randy Ruedrich got hammered for doing party business at work, rather than work at work, but most of those that went down went down over under the table deals.

Only a moron would think Palin herself would be involved in that sort of thing. And since you ARE a moron, let me explain WHY she wouldn’t be involved, BESIDES THE FACT that she is an ethical person.

You see, the Alaska Republican Party hates her, I mean HATES her! Trust me, she had ALL of them watching her every move. Had she done something wrong, she’d have been visited by the same FBI boys that visited the crooked Republicans.

As to being a “RINO” you must be retarded, or something, as I am not even a Republican, and since I’m old school, certainly no “Neo” anything.

Of course, being a moron, I doubt you grasp the meaning of the term “Neo” or “NeoCon.”

But what gets me is just how ignorant you really are about well, pretty much everything!

You obviously don’t know anything about natural gas, especially CNG. Most big cities run their entire city owned fleet on either CNG, or Propane. Especially their buses.

I owned a propane powered car 25 years ago! It’s as close to a zero emissions ride as one could get (but that’s not why we bought it)

Farmers have run their stuff off of Propane (which is virtually the same as CNG, equipment wise), for over 50 years! Some only run their light duty stuff, like pick-ups, some run everything off of it.

There are already other countries where you see a lot of CNG powered cars, and they already have retail facilities in place.

From what I understand, Iran, of all places, is big on CNG powered cars, as they have a LOT of oil, but no refining capacity, so they have to import gasoline. And where there is oil, there is generally natural gas.

Honda started offering a CNG powered car for sale in the US this year, got a lot of press, despite the fact that the Big 3 have made ‘em for decades!

Here are a few cars and trucks for sale right now that run either exclusively on CNG, or can run on both CNG or gasoline (a popular option)You’ll note that most are city fleet vehicles.

http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=cng&_sacat=6001&_trksid=m270&_dmpt=US_Cars_Trucks&_odkw=&_osacat=6001

We have 1000′s of trillions of feet natural gas in America, far more than once thought. Alaska alone has about 1000 trillion feet.

It would probably take a decade to get most of the fleet switched over, and the infrastructure in place, but if the environmentalists and conservationists were serious, we would have already been doing this.

BTW, several companies make machines to compress the gas for you at home. If you already have natural gas supply to you home, you can buy one of these units and fill your car up at home.

These units aren’t cheap though, about $5,000 a copy, and it takes 6-8 hours to refill, but like any technology, the more these things sell, the cheaper they get. And you have to charge up an electrical vehicle over night to use it, and you have limited range.

With CNG, you car operates just like a gasoline powered car. You can’t tell, just by driving.

Another thing, since natural gas burns so cleanly (which is why you can cook with it inside your home) there is little or no carbon build up inside the engine, especially the combustion chamber around the valves or on the tops of the pistons. As such, there are fewer contaminates in the oil.

It’s cool, the oil barely changes color over time. You drive 20,000 miles and the oil is still as clear as it was when you poured it out of the bottle. This, of course, greatly extends the life of the engine.

Anyhow, I know all of this is over the top of your head, as you obviously have the same IQ as canned cling peaches, but maybe someone else will read this and get something out off it.

BTW, there used to be a fleet of NHRA legal Super Gas cars out of Kansas that were sponsored by a NG Co-Op. These are 9 second, 150 mph+ race cars. They did very well.

Also, T-Boone Pickens, who made his billions with oil and gas, had a different idea, but realized it was folly, and that he couldn’t get enough backing. He wanted to take the CNG fired electric plants off line, and replace them with wind power, freeing up even MORE CNG to run our cars on.

You can convert diesel powered rigs to CNG, BTW, which would significantly reduce emissions. Diesel engines run very well on either CNG or propane.

In short, anyone who doesn’t think that CNG makes more sense than any of the other proposed “solutions” to our energy, and environmental issues, simply doesn’t think.
