Funds Stalled for Interoperable (sic) Radios The inability of the police and fire departments to communicate because of radio incompatibility was a major factor in the loss of life on 9/11 and an issue about which families were up in arms during the Commission hearings.

Japan, Iran to continue talks on oil field project
ReplyDeletehttp://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nb20060916a5.html
Japan wants badly to proceed with development of the Azadegan oil field, but is being pressured by the US to stay out. Japan has decided to keep its hand in, as I thought, but its subservience to the US is making it do a political tightrope act.
What a fricking joke we are !!!!
ReplyDeleteThe DOE Gas Shortages article had some kind of advertisement about Willie Nelson supporting Bio-Diesel. I guess Willie is behind it because he is a big farm-aid supporter.
Anyhow we just had an article about food vs. SUV fuel and NPR recently had an interview with pork producers feeling the squeeze because of grain prices. I wonder how Willie will be feeling about the pork farmers (and beef farmers) loosing the family farms because of bio-diesel?
But on the bright side (there is always a bright side) maybe I won't have to put up with my doctor griping at me about my cholesterol. Heck I can even join PETA and have advanced warning when the topless protests happen. No, better not do that... would raise the blood pressure on this old boy's cholesterol plugged arteries.
By the article about food vs. SUV fuel you perhaps mean the one by Lester Brown, "Starving the People To Feed the Cars," posted on FTW. I'm glad that people are starting to wake up to the food vs. cars problem earlier than I thought they would.
ReplyDeleteBut, apropos of my comment about markets under the previous blog item, this struck me in particular because the squandering of food to feed cars is yet another indication that markets are more important than human life. As Brown wrote, when the price of crude hit $60, the market shifted grain to biofuels. The market doesn't care that one in five American kids already doesn't get enough to eat.

ReplyDeleteRight -- as Mike Ruppert observed, we're going to wonder how we were ever worried about getting too many calories!
BTW, does Mike read this blog?
