OIL, GAS, AND RENEWABLES: WHERE ARE WE HEADED?
The fracking gas boom continues to put pressure on wind, solar, and other renewables, not to mention coal. With gas prices extremely cheap, utilities are building more natural gas power plants than ever before. This expansion is making it hard for wind and solar, which are still more expensive than gas, to compete. What will it take for renewables to become more competitive?

Panelists:
David Crane, President and CEO, NRG Energy
David Hawkins, Director, Climate Programs, National Resources Defense Council
Andy Karsner, Executive Chairman and Founder, Manifest Energy

Tar sandstone from the 10-12 million year Monterey Formation (Miocene) of southern California, USA.
Oil Price

Tar sandstones & tar sands are oil-impregnated reservoir rocks that have been subjected to long periods of weathering and petroleum degradation.

The largest deposit in the world is the Athabasca Tar Sand of Alberta, Canada. Although oil prices noticeably skyrocketed starting in 2004, Albertan tar sands have been economically exploited for many years, starting in the 1970s. It is expected & very likely that Canada will be expanding the mining & processing of Athabasca material into crude oil in the future.

Weeks–The Hour of Prayer, detail 5
Oil Price

I am always appreciative of views and comments; thank you for taking time to look.

This is a series of 11 images (oil on canvas). Edwin Lord Weeks (1849-1903), an Orientalist painter, was born in Massachusetts, the child of wealthy merchants. The placard at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond states he was a photographer, writer, explorer, collector and illustrator as well. He studied in France under Léon Bonnat. He made trips to Morocco, the Middle East and then India in 1882. Any number of videos featuring his works on India are on YouTube. The paintings depicted are always human with an eye to details. The painting “The Hour of Prayer at Moti Mushid (The Pearl Mosque), Agra” (ca 1888-1889) is large (perhaps 6’ x 3 1/2”) and is filled with amazing details of those gathered for prayer at the mosque. The detailed images show many aspects of this gathering: washing, reading, lounging. Any number of “things” are happening, yet no part detracts from another; all is well-integrated into a comprehensive whole. The architecture is integral to the work. The Moti Mushid, built 1654 in Agra, is an excellent example of Mughal architecture. His original works today can bring a price of more than a million dollars.

The original frame by Lockwood de Forest (1850-1932), another Orientalist, is made of wood with cast and carved ornament and is gilded. The framed painting is the final image in the series.

Tasty pizza
Oil Price

Start with a half-price Tesco Margherita pizza. Then take half a
green pepper, a handful of cherry tomatoes, a chili pepper and two
mushrooms. Cut as you see fit. Throw them all in a warm pan with a
little oil for a few minutes, then top the uncooked pizza with them.
Throw the whole ensemble in the oven for a bit longer than the pizza’s
packaging tells you to.

The cost works out at around £2, and it weighs in at around 980
calories.

Tandoori paste made with lemon juice, oil, garlic, ginger, chillie, and spices: chillie powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, coriander, and small amounts of fenugreek, cardomom and pomegranate seed. Score deeply a few times on each thigh and leg piece; and rub the paste well into the flesh and coat each piece thoroughly. This chicken was from the Aldi store on our High Street. 6 large thighs and 8 drumsticks, skin-on and bone-in for £3. Excellent price. I had to skin them and trim off any excess fat before coating them. Put in fridge for as long as poss – preferably overnight, but even a couple of hours will do.

World Bank President Zoellick speaks at Peterson Institute of International Economics about the lessons from instability in the Middle East

April 6, 2011 – Turmoil in the Middle East has rattled financial markets, caused a spike in oil prices and cast a shadow over the regional and global economy. On April 6, 2011, Robert B. Zoellick, President of the World Bank, spoke in Washington, D.C. about the lessons from the instability for the region, for the world, and for development institutions.
This was Zoellick’s major presentation prior to the 2011 Spring Meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

THE HEART OF AMERICA: KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
Oil Price

Although the skyline has not really changed much during the last fifty years, many of the lower-level buildings have been removed to make room for larger parking lots. So, something must have been happening. One thing was happening: people were riding the buses less. Everyone wanted to drive to work. Those were the days when Americans were able to be individidualists; one could ride the bus, join a motor pool, ride a bike or drive an eight-cylinder auto without a lot of air-control devices that would later raise both the prices of autos and fuels. It was a time when highways were considered the only way to get to town, at least in the midwest. Consequently, Kansas City never developed any type of light rail system to keep the traffic light. Traffic finally became an issue. But no problem, many of the large firms and employers moved out of the downtown into the far reaches of the metro area. Johnson County in Kansas became a big megaplopalus; another MEGAPLOPALUS THAT HAS ONLY BEGUN TO REACH ITS ZENITH is Clay County and the area around the big KCI or MCI, THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF ROOM FOR EXPANSION. BUT NOW, AGAIN THE DOWNTOWN IS UNDERGOING A RENAISSANCE WITH THE NEW SPRINT CENTER. Kansas City, Missouri remains to be an enigma, a legend in its own time, the city where barbeque remains supreme and the downtown area always in a state of urban reknewal. It is a unique city, not nearly a million yet, but a place where people pass through on their way to someplace else and decide to stay. In many ways, Kansas City is a small town with enough small skyscrapers to make one think it is a city on its way up. It’s been this way since the late 1950s. Join me next month when I will be talking about Kansas City, Kansas and other unique areas like Raytown, Grandview, Independence, Lee’s Summit and a few other communities that make KC one of the largest metro areas (in land mass) in the United States.

Grace and Simon on the Bridge
Oil Price

The bus ride from Shenzhen to Enping was long, like watching a freight train chug by, except it doesn’t. We had to have been on that bus for seven hours, sometimes napping, and at times, staring out our windows, looking at a world standing still. Traffic was not only a nightmare, but also a mystery, for as many instances in which we could plainly see another egregiously bad vehicular accident, that which has become commonplace, ubiquitous in Chinese travel culture, there were other inexplicable stops in movement, when all of a sudden, as though finishing a swift countdown, our speed dropped so precipitously as to let out a collective lurch, if not in body, then definitely in mind. Calvin, thankfully, in his perspicacity, in his wide-angled, unique view of things, saw beyond the myriad vehicles which lay unmoving as if rocks on a dry riverbed; view the periphery, he bade us, and when we looked to the edges of the road, indeed we witnessed the most peculiar instigator of traffic congestion in the world – men en masse pissing on the side of the road! Men taking leaks creates a domino effect; that one sees another enjoying the relief of an unburdened, easy bladder, so seductive a yoke, that the only retort to the entreaty of this blissful state is to join in with abandon, and impunity. And so soon as the last few shakes are made, back into the cars do these men go, and a few hasty minutes later, traffic flows again!

Mike wanted to stop at a village, so we exchanged an increasingly crowded highway for a narrow, cement road, on which we ventured into the dense verdure. Having reached an impasse in the road soon thereafter, and not knowing how to advance further, to actually enter the village proper, we saw two lovely young ladies saddling a moped, motoring towards us. They then suddenly broke, and turned off our path and onto a dirt one which squeezed through two homes as though a mouse through its diminutive hole – that was our key. We greeted them as the girls turned their heads, offering us inquisitive, yet gentle looks. They would be our guides into town.

Blue showed me around her neighborhood. Together we walked along bumpy corridors and peered through open windows, beyond flitting cobwebs, to lay eyes on rooms where nowadays only impenetrable shadows repose. She and I examined the perfunctory red banners which framed each door in the village, and subsequently hit it off when I began inquiring into the nature of those two swarthy demons who hung menacingly before the closed doors, their gazes insidiously wild, drunk with rage, perhaps. Indeed later, in the quietude of a sunset raining down on us, while standing by ourselves in front of the village hall, I finally shared my faith with her, and in return she declared the lack of her own – her cousin and older sister, however, do know Jesus, she said, which verily warmed my heart, if not hers.

We left the village with much rapidity, but not before I blessed and encouraged Blue’s cousin, in whose arms a smiling babe lay, and received joyfully a delectable departing gift: mysterious, "Blue Cookies" (the official Chinese name is 艾糍), whose mottled, homely complexion would disgust if not for the sweetness (an amalgam of sugar, peanuts and herbs) buried inside, a treasure which would be discovered again and again on our tour.

The food around Enping epitomizes, I believe, Guangdong cuisine: inexpensive and egregiously non-spicy. For what they lack in price and incendiary acidity, however, these dishes more than compensate with copious amounts of oil, salt and sugar, mixed together for a tantalizing effect on the taste buds. Our group was fortunate enough to have frequented several Guangdong-style dai pai dongs whose victuals both nourished our bodies and replenished our wallets – it’s amazing to consider how 0RMB can feed 15 ravenous, cantankerous-when-hungry Christian bikers. In fact, the feasting grew exponentially more enjoyable as journey progressed, as our two primary orderers began to refine their culinary acuity, accurately predicting what would invigorate and excite our collective palate; it helped, too, that our utensils were pretty clean for Chinese standards!

Our first evening, we secured accommodations in a building that was not so much a hotel, or even a motel, as a grey, dry concrete edifice in which hardwood beds were arrayed neatly in each room; the spartan conditions dismayed some, including myself, at first. However, thankfulness trumped peevishness, and the realization that, in the middle of nowhere, we had mosquito nets to ward off the inexorable squad of mozzies, and one bathroom with boiling water for a very, very scalding shower was more than enough to placate everyone, especially after a hard day of riding. Besides, austerity succors the soul. We even managed to sleep pretty soundly without mattresses. In my somnolent state, I only remember shifting desperately maybe six, or seven times. It was a good night, and a bargain at only 15RMB per person!

On the second day our group dared to test itself on an unknown avenue. Consequently, we were spared the sonorous alarms of gigantic, indomitable trucks and instead subjected ourselves to the vicissitudes of off-road biking, whose soundtrack, undoubtedly for the day, was provided by an orchestra of buzzing cicadas, accompanied, at times, by the rumbling tympani of motorbikes. Oh, the countryside was lush, beautiful verdure all around – a feast for the romantic soul. Yet, for one of my companions, the environment was anything but endearing, for her adeptness at handling the desultory trail, she surely felt, was more chaotic than controlled. She persevered, nonetheless, pushing through her disconsolation to conquer the race marked out for her; such tenacity that only the Father could supply; and that left me thoroughly impressed.

At lunchtime, the evangelization effort began in earnest. It started innocently enough, as I asked a group of girls about the secondary school down the dusty road from our restaurant. Then, on cue, the Spirit, whose pacing can only be described as frenetic, whose rhythm is beyond my comprehension, overwhelmed and took over. Leanne and I brought those three girls to Christ; while Tim was assiduously preaching by our side to a band of boys who had gathered to look on; and behind us, ah Cheung had cajoled five boys to form a circle, hand in hand, for prayer. Many people came to know Jesus that hour. There was undoubtedly some serious fire falling down on us!

We made a pit stop at the Tam clan village. It was another bucolic community, replete with idling boys, young and old, and those two duplicitous demons standing watch from steady doors, which, it appeared, held together together the ramshackle walls beside them. An electricity meter evinced the reality of life in the village, of a living community that flows flittingly in and out of the houses as though cats leaping over canals; because I for one couldn’t see how hundreds of people somehow resided inside those homes when I couldn’t spot a single one during my brief tour of the grounds. In the open, by our bikes, there were conspicuous signs of life, however. I was standing in the sun, letting its warm rays melt on my skin, when a young man, not even twenty, approached and asked me about our intents and purposes on what was once such a dull afternoon. His curiosity got the better of me, and together we broached a conversation in faith. Simon joined us, and although he whom I named Henry, told us in his obstinacy that he depends on himself alone, I feel as though a small seed of faith was still planted within him. May it bloom at the appointed time when he most needs it.

At last, inside the unlit store where we shared our gleaming hopes and fantastic dreams, Simon and I noticed, to our surprise and delight, two blackboards on which the shopkeeper had written the alphabet, for English as well as for Putonghua (Pinyin). Besides the letters, numbers too had been painstakingly etched into the board, each meticulous stroke perfectly formed. So they ironically were learning that which continues to elude their more economically mobile brethren in Hong Kong, despite their most humble upbringing. I encouraged Henry to pursue this knowledge, since, as the cliche most rightly states, English – and Putonghua, these days – opens up a world of opportunity.

China, it seems to me, is one interminable housing start being carried on the shoulders of giants. Behemoths, really, an armada of green and blue dump trucks, on whose backs are the physical manifestation of the hopes and dreams of billions – timber; stone; and coal – were an inescapable part of our three-day trek. They blew passed us, literally, horns afire; and if you stared into the eyes of the drivers high above on those mechanized elephants, you would see the glee with which they pounded both the road and the eardrums of those unwitting peons foolish enough to be nearby. China – and China Mobile, whose stores we uncovered even in the most remote suburb, might I add! – still has much growth left, and the transportation and infrastructure industries, I’m sure, shall assiduously work to keep it that way. My recommendation: keep investing in China.

Visiting the hot springs had been on our agenda since the inception of the trip. We eventually had our chance the second evening, when we raced down a wending hill to our hotel – a real hotel. Our excitement reverberated in the air, crackling with laughter and shouting. Choosing to swim first and foremost, we left dinner to wait and hurried across the street. The resort was packed with other like-minded people, dressed in swimming costumes that should have left more to the imagination; the temperature of the pool water varied, from tepid in one enclosure to skin-searing in another; and for one marvelous hour, we swam and frolicked like little children again, delighting in some wet fun, a suitable reward for one more arduous day spent on the dusty, dry land.

We capped the end of a successful day with a bang. The girls, oddly enough, were furtive pyromaniacs in our midst, longing in secret to raid the fireworks shop at the base of the hotel. So after our meal, they raced into the cool evening air and we could only endeavor to follow them in their explosive folly. Inside the store, all sorts of bombastic devices were on display, from the unwieldy, block of (Chicago) bull to the sleek spears adorning the wall whose warheads, no doubt, could just so easily take out a few eyes as mercilessly rip the pitch black from the wall of night sky. The ladies suffered to leave no type of firework untouched by the flame, quickly purchasing an arsenal of rainbow-inducing rockets and slim sparklers to make any pyrotechnic maven proud. Outside we went. At length, the bombs burst in the air, and laughter abound so much as we watched the brilliance of Chinese engineering on display. With the girls’ scintillating stock depleted, we finally collected ourselves, and headed upstairs for one more day of wonderment.

There was one last village to visit before we reached our final destination of Enping city. As we sped into the shanty community, we knew something was amiss because unlike our other entrances into villages, during which residents would emerge in droves to glimpse us, it seemed as though these villagers preferred the comfort of their own veiled homes to the company of a few, ebullient strangers. It was an ominous setting in which we found ourselves, one characterized by inhabitants rather mistrustful than gregarious, and affable. Nonetheless, we dispersed to share kindness and mercy. To that end, I approached a young lady, a mere 25-years old, who had her three-month old boy on her shoulder and her three-year old son – who was without pants, might I add, preferring to wave them in the air like a terrible towel – by her side. We spoke briefly about her hopes and dreams, which, she says, rest in the well-being of her sons; and then Leanne and I blessed her. That was the end of our village experience in China.

To be around people who sharpen you as iron sharpens iron, that verily is a joy. The villagers were simple, warm and welcoming; my teammates were jocular, presumptuous and faithful; and I, in the midst of this confluence, this mosaic of personalities, philosophies, hopes and dreams, could only seek to love, especially in one of my more pensive moments. The trip tested my patience and tolerance, my ability to accept others for who they are – each a flawed creature like myself. Ultimately, so much as we seek the men of peace everywhere we go, we individually must become men of peace too. A true disciple of Jesus runs that race, and appreciates His grace, which shall always be enough in this life.

Depopulation – Drugs
Oil Price

A poem in protest of the ongoing worldwide population reduction agenda of
the ruling global fascist elite kleptocracy…

DEPOPULATION
by IronBoltBruce

)(

I thought it was all about money
And the power that it buys;
But it’s about a depleted planet
And with what who survives.

It’s simple mathematics,
Dividing what by who;
They can’t make more resources,
But they can make less of you.

Forget the genocide of Third World
Warlords, U.S. trained;
It’s nothing next to body counts
For corporations’ gain.

Depopulation: Fighting unjust wars
Where suicide
Takes more of best and bravest than
Those lost to other side.

)(

Depopulation: Firing drones
Puts innocents at risk,
And from those terrorized will come
Next wave of terrorists.

Depopulation: Fracking earth
With biocides that spoil
The water in our aquifers:
High price for gas and oil.

Depopulation: Filling air
With carcinogens that kill;
Those who survive to sterilize
By design, against their will.

Depopulation: Flooding seas
With wastes they can’t degrade;
Toxins poison source of life
‘Til life no more is made.

)(

Depopulation: Financing
Both sides of "War on Drugs";
With CIA as pusher man
And DEA-armed thugs.

Depopulation: Feigning
Homosexual approbation;
Stealthfully engendering
Voluntary sterilization.

Depopulation: Fattening up
The tech-sedated masses
With GMO: Accelerating
Aging as it passes.

Depopulation: Fragmenting
Have-Nots to Left and Right;
Against elite assassins
Never able to unite…

CHICAGO THUG USING HIS PRESSURE TACTICS TO LIE AND STEAL FROM THE TAXPAYER AGAIN
Oil Price

Obama’s Ongoing War on Inspectors General
By Ed Lasky
A cloud of suspicion hangs over the data Barack Obama and his team have been presenting us regarding the purported success of their own programs.

The figures presented regarding "jobs created and saved" have been contested. The new metric regarding jobs "saved" has been ridiculed as just a tactic to burnish the numbers. Analysts have looked at various expenditures and have shown in example after example that each job created is often temporary in nature, sometimes occurs overseas, and is often extremely expensive.

The figures regarding ObamaCare — be they the costliness of the program, its effect on the deficit, or the number of uninsured — are roundly considered suspect, if not an outright numerical analogy to snake-oil claims.

Climate change is another theological belief held by the higher-ups in this administration — facts and figures be damned.

The problem is exacerbated when models are created to justify the ideological ends of proponents of various programs (the so-called hockey-stick model of climate change, for example). Models then have fudged numbers put in them to — voilà! — create the desired outcomes.

Mark Twain, who coined the phrase "lies, damn lies, and statistics," would certainly have had a great deal of raw material to use in his satirical screeds regarding politicians — especially this bunch inspired by the mores of Cook County.

Taxpayers pay the price, of course. We always do.

But we have some people looking out for our futures in the government — and these people have been subject to a great deal of pressure from the White House.

These are the inspectors general — the unsung heroes of the government who monitor government agencies.

They take their duties to the taxpayers seriously. We are lucky to have them looking out for waste and corruption. For the last two years, they have stood up and reported on waste of taxpayer dollars and various other suspect activities.

This is precisely what seems to have earned them pride of place on Obama’s ever-growing enemies list.

The latest one to report on Obama shenanigans is the inspector general for the Small Business Administration (SBA), who reports that the agency’s numbers for "jobs saved" were either "unclear" or "misleading" and cannot be verified.

The SBA received over 0 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the stimulus act). The federal agency was required to report on job statistics flowing from the stimulus. The SBA made loans to small businesses and was supposed to check on the number of jobs created.

The SBA did so monthly on its website. The inspector general audited these numbers and found them wanting — to say the least.

From World Net Daily:

The inspector general reported that the loan programs’ "lack of a definition for ‘jobs retained’ and the discrepancy in the forms used to collect job statistics from 7(a) borrowers and lenders has resulted in a performance metric with questionable clarity and transparency."

The inspector general, what is more, indicated that only one of the programs, the 504 program, even asked loan applicants how many jobs are to be saved. The other program, the 7(a) program, made something of a leap of faith as to jobs created.

"In the 504 loan program, where job creation and retention is a program criteria, applicants are required to report the number of current employees, jobs to be created in the next two years, and jobs to be retained because of the loan," the IG report said.

Applicants for the 7(a) program, meanwhile, were just asked to report on their application the number of employees at the time of application and the number of employees "if [the] loan is approved."

As the inspector general noted, as a result of this shoddy methodology, the report "results in unclear and misleading reporting."

I have written a series of columns that reveal a pattern. One inspector general after another faults the Obama administration for using suspect methodology to burnish its claims regarding job creation. At one point, Obama wanted to create a brand new -billion government program to grant loans to small business. The program was designed to be free of any oversight by inspectors general. This program had the potential to be a thirty-billion-dollar slush fund to channel taxpayer dollars to those people who are allies of the Obama administration.

This was not the first time the Obama team tried to elude oversight

Obama’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) threatened an inspector general for daring to tell Congress that the OMB was trying to slash his budget, crimping his ability to monitor spending and other actions by the OMB.

The administration fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin after he dared to report that Sacramento’s mayor, a Democrat and personal friend of Barack Obama, had engaged in improper use of federal money.

From the Wall Street Journal:

A George W. Bush appointee, Mr. Walpin has since 2007 been the inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency that oversees such subsidized volunteer programs as AmeriCorps. In April 2008 the Corporation asked Mr. Walpin to investigate reports of irregularities at St. HOPE, a California nonprofit run by former NBA star and Obama supporter Kevin Johnson. St. HOPE had received an 0,000 AmeriCorps grant, which was supposed to go for three purposes: tutoring for Sacramento-area students; the redevelopment of several buildings; and theater and art programs.

Mr. Walpin’s investigators discovered that the money had been used instead to pad staff salaries, meddle politically in a school-board election, and have AmeriCorps members perform personal services for Mr. Johnson, including washing his car.

At the end of May, Mr. Walpin’s office recommended that Mr. Johnson, an assistant and St. HOPE itself be "suspended" from receiving federal funds.

Recall Obama’s taunt that if people brought a knife to a fight, he would bring a gun. In Walpin’s case, he brought an axe — since Walpin was fired from his job in the wake of his report on Johnson. But this was not enough punishment. Administration officials then went on the warpath as they heaped personal abuse on Walpin.

The war on the inspectors general continued. Maybe some inspectors generals did not get the memo that they were supposed to fall in line and ignore their professional obligations to taxpayers. Of course, the hypocrisy is palpable. Wasn’t it Barack Obama who promised transparency in government?

Neil Barofsky, a Democrat, is the special inspector general of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP). He is another inspector general who found serious flaws behind administration claims. He thrashed the Treasury for relying on self-reporting by recipients of TARP money. He wrote that the bailout was falling short of many of its goals, like preserving home ownership and stimulating the economy. He also reported that the Treasury had switched accounting methods in order to promote the view that taxpayers would profit from the AIG bailout. One analyst depicted the Treasury’s new accounting method as "Enron-style" accounting.

When companies switch accounting methods, a red flag is raised — and short sellers of a public company’s stock smell blood in the water. The funny business leads people to believe that officials are trying to present a false positive image regarding the business. Barofsky thought it was wrong and that the Treasury (Obama’s Treasury) was failing.

What happened? I think we know the script by now. The administration heaped personal abuse on Barofsky.

Jen Psaki, who goes back to the Obama campaign, serves as the deputy communications director at the White House. And communicate she did.

On her blog, she attacked Barofsky:

Some people don’t like movies with happy endings[.] … How else to explain this week’s report by Sigtarp? Rather than focusing on the growing evidence we’ve seen in recent months that TARP will be far less costly than anyone expected, Sigtarp instead sought to generate a false controversy over AIG to try and grab a few, cheap headlines.

The name calling and vilification continue for seven more paragraphs.

Here, we have Obama’s modus operandi regarding inspectors generals — the taxpayers’ best friends and the unsung heroes in government.

One after another, inspectors general have been reporting that Obama’s stewardship of taxpayer money has failed and that the administration has been using funny numbers to bamboozle the public into believing that the programs are succeeding. When the proverbial you-know-what hits the fan, the administration retaliates. The strategy seems to be to stop the criticism — and to prevent it from happening in the first place, since whistle-blowers will fear what may happen to them if they tell the truth. Welcome to Chicago politics writ large.

Darrell Issa, the new chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has announced plans to investigate how the administration has spent our money. He has also expressed a desire to expand the powers of inspectors generals. Lord knows they will need the power to counter the machinations of Barack Obama and Company.
