I'll bet you one Drake
January 13, 2009
1859 was a pivotal year in human history. 1859 ushered in the most profound resource that transformed the quality of life and standard of living for all human beings around the world. Colonel Edwin Drake drilled a well “Drake Well” in a quiet Northwestern Pennsylvania farming community and changed our world. The discovery of oil and putting it to use is the single most enabling resource in human history.
People no longer huddle in densely packed cities due to oil. Oil products enable us to live in the suburbs and commute to work centers. Timely access to medical facilities, shops, and schools have increased educational levels, health, and quality of life. Many people live far from family and loved ones pursuing economic opportunity. Yet, we visit often because we're able drive or fly across continental divides in a single day.
People now have a rich and diverse diet due to oil. Oil products enable farmers to transport their crops to market and over the road truck drivers deliver varied fruits and vegetables from region to region across this nation. Prior to oil people were restricted to a regional diet. Prior to oil there was no widespread consumption of oranges in New York and Boston. Prior to oil there was no widespread consumption of bananas, pineapple, kiwis, etc, anywhere in the United States.
People are healthier and live longer due to oil. Oil products enable hospitals to deliver health care innovations that save lives. Nurses no longer scrub and clean needles for reuse. Doctors and nurses deliver life saving chemotherapy using disposable bottles, and latex gloves stop the spread of infection during operations.
People no longer squint by the candle to read. Oil products deliver electricity to our home enabling us to cook healthy food, warm our bodies, and work at night. Oil delivers electricity to hospitals that run ventilators, anesthesia monitors, and electric blankets.
Oil is good. Yet, the environmental nitwits want to destroy this industry and take away the benefits it has bestowed upon humanity.
Obama appointed Carol Browner as Climate Czar. Carol Browner is a Socialist and certifiable nitwit. http://www.epa.gov/history/admin/agency/browner.htm She is a member of the Commission for a Sustainable World Society (CSWS), which is a formal organ of the Socialist International. What does it mean when the CSWS resolved that;
"market solutions alone are insufficient and will not provide the financial support and resources necessary to achieve the required combination of deep emission reduction, adaptation to already changing climate conditions, energy security and equitable and environmentally sound economic development?"
It means taxes on a global scale; cap-n-trade, individual (Carbon Dioxide CO2), and cow farts (methane CH4). This is lunacy in the face of a world waking up to the Global Warming hoax.
Oddly enough I welcome her appointment and wish her well. I hope she pushes her lunatic agenda to the hilt. Stick that knife right into the heart of this nation. This is the quickest path to rid our nation of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Waxman, Clinton and all the other nitwits destroying this nation.
Go for it Carol. I bet Drake wins.
