EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SCOTT SUTTELL Privacy advocates fret about electronics behind car insurance discount programsBy SCOTT SUTTELL 11:00 am, October 1, 2012
Drivers increasingly invite insurance companies — including Mayfield Village-based Progressive Corp. — to ride along and monitor their driving, Forbes.com notes, which has privacy advocates worried that the new form of discounts "creates the potential for corporations to monitor a lot more than just how many miles we drive, and how fast we do it, especially location."
You've probably noticed this when you're paying bills, but a USA Today analysis confirms that water costs in Cleveland are soaring.
The Washington Post visits Mentor for a look at the lives of political canvassers as Election Day draws near.
This op-ed piece from The Wall Street Journal, based partly on data from a Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland researcher, bucks conventional wisdom and argues that "U.S. business cycles going back more than a century show that deep recessions accompanied by financial crises are almost always followed by rapid recoveries."

Pipeline Fatalities (monthly data, not seasonally adjusted)
Note: Spike in graph represents leak and explosion of gas in a residential and shopping district in San Juan, Puerto Rico, 11/21/96.
Pipeline failures are low-probability events that can result in fatalities, injuries, and property damage. Over time, gas pipeline fatalities tend to outnumber those involving hazardous liquid (e.g., petroleum) pipelines. Outside force damage (e.g., damage to a pipeline during excavation for construction) is the leading cause of pipeline failures, followed by corrosion (DOT Performance Plan FY 2001).
Pipeline Fatalities | Apr-00 | Apr-01 |
Total | 0 | 0 |
Percent change from same month previous year | 0 | 0 |
NOTES: The current value is compared to the value from the same period in the previous year to account for seasonality.
All 2001 data are preliminary, and subject to change as incidents are reported.

Hornish Looking To End Cup Season On Positive Note At HomesteadNovember 13, 2012-Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Charger Driver Thankful For Opportunity To Return To Sprint Cup Series-HOMESTEAD, Fla. (Nov. 13, 2012) - Sam Hornish Jr. enters Sunday's Ford 400 hoping to make lasting impressions and leave pleasant memories of his unexpected return to the NASCAR Sprint Cup ranks. Regardless of the outcome, the always affable former open-wheel racing champion says he is forever thankful for the opportunity that the 2012 season presented. "To have had the chance to climb back in a Sprint Cup car again this season has been a dream come true for me," said Hornish, who will be competing in both Saturday's Nationwide Series race and Sunday's Cup battle at Homestead-Miami Speedway. "I certainly want to thank Shell-Pennzoil and all the great sponsors we have at Penske Racing for the opportunity they gave me and the confidence they have shown in me. "We are hoping to have the kind of performance that will make all of our supporters proud during the final race weekend of the season," said Hornish. "The backing and encouragement we have received from the sponsors, the fans, the media - everyone we have had the pleasure to work with - has been tremendous. We're certainly appreciative of having the chance to drive the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Dodge. "When the checkered flag falls at Homestead on Sunday, I hope everyone can look back and say that we did a respectable job. I hope they can say that we put forth a reputable effort as a replacement driver for the second half of the season. Most of all, I hope that they all agree that I've shown a degree of competitiveness that is deserving of a ride in Sprint Cup competition." Hornish will be making his fourth career Sprint Cup start on the 1.5-mile Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend. In his three prior starts there, he has a 28.0 average start and a 27.3 average finish. His best start to date was a 26th during his last Cup race there in 2010. His best finish, a 21st, came in the 2009 edition of the Ford 400. "I've had success at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the IndyCar Series with two wins with the flat surface and one with the newer banking," Hornish said. "We're still looking for that level of success running in the NASCAR races. We've enjoyed the trend that we've seen most everywhere else in that the more experience we get there, the more competitive we have gotten. We're confident that we can have our most competitive weekend yet when we get back there this time around." In his four Nationwide Series starts to date at Homestead entering Saturday's Ford Ecoboost 300, Hornish has a 13.8 average start and a 27.2 average finish. His best start of sixth came in the 2007 event and his best finish, a seventh, came in last year's season finale for the tour. Hornish never finished out of the top 10 in his seven IndyCar races at Homestead. His incredible record boasted three wins, six top-five finishes and seven top 10s. He completed a mind-blowing 99.9 percent (1,399 of 1,400) of all possible laps. "We definitely want to end our season on a positive note," said crew chief Todd Gordon, who will continue on as the leader of the No. 22 Penske Racing unit during the 2013 Cup campaign. "Sam has done a tremendous job since coming in to drive for us in July. We're hoping for a very competitive weekend at Homestead. A great run there on Sunday for our Shell-Pennzoil Dodge would be a super way to cap off the 2012 season." Hornish, Gordon and the Penske Racing No. 22 Team will be utilizing the "PRS-823" Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Charger in this weekend's Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This is the chassis that the team raced at Chicagoland Speedway back in September (started 16th and finished 11th). AJ Allmendinger raced it in the June 30 Quaker State 400 at the Kentucky Speedway (started 16th and finished ninth). This car made its debut for the team at Kansas Speedway back in April. Allmendinger won the Coors Light Pole Award and led 44 laps before secondary linkage woes put him 10 laps down and relegated him to a 32nd-place finish. The "PRS-820" will serve as the backup. It was last raced in the September race at New Hampshire (started 10th and finished 21st). Friday's practice from 1:30 p.m. till 3:00 p.m. kicks off this weekend's action at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The entire 43-car starting field will be established in Friday's qualifying session that begins at 6:10 p.m. (live on SPEED-TV) Saturday's schedule features practices sessions from 1:00 p.m. till 2:00 p.m. and from 3:00 p.m. till 3:50 p.m. (live on SPEED-TV) Sunday's Ford 400 (400 miles, 267 laps) has a scheduled 3:00 p.m. EST starting time on the 1.5-mile speed plant located at the north end of the Florida Keys. ESPN-TV and MRN Radio will provide live coverage of all the action. # # #

Telkwa, are all packets being returned when pinging any non-Qwest address?
Sorry if this is a lame question -
Installed Ubuntu 6.06 to a friend's spare Dell PC. He's using Qwest DSL. Synaptic Package Mgr works - updated Dapper just fine. Firefox can't find Google or Yahoo! but will go to the Ubuntu website in the Bookmarks. We were able to browse forums, wiki, support pages, etc. Tried pinging a test Qwest address and packets returned 100%
I'm not very good with TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, etc. Anyone have any ideas?
Telkwa, are all packets being returned when pinging any non-Qwest address?
Hi, Michael -
This ended up being a simple fix. I'm a newb. Disabled IPV6 in Firefox and we have a happy customer!
He likes Opera. I'll probly follow the wiki directions to disable IPV6 within the OS so that it's off for everything.
It also means his DNS service (probably from his ISP) is too slow to respond. If you don't want to go through all the trouble of disabling IPv6, direct him here:
And let him follow the instructions.
Right, that's how I understood it - not a flaw in Ubuntu, it's some part of Qwest's hardware that doesn't support the IPV6 packets. Probably the Actiontec modem on his desk but who knows. Just happy to get it working!!

"You are at your best surrounded by loved ones and the comforts of home." For the classic, traditional man who likes evenings by the fire and being outdoors.
Spray freely, where desired, on the body.
The scent of a fragrance can change throughout the day. This is because different ingredients come into play at various stages of the fragrance's life on the skin. Perfumers distinguish between the various stages in three ways:
These notes introduce the fragrance and can last up to 15 minutes.
Also known as the heart of the fragrance, the middle notes unfold and develop a few minutes after the cologne is applied to the skin. They appear after the top notes disappear and can last throughout the whole fragrance experience.
These create the final impression and also the most lasting. They can last several hours after the fragrance is applied.

The exceptionally quiet motor gives it an edge over similarly priced screens. Quiet "up" and "down" operation makes the Advantage more professional in appearance as well as less distracting to your audience.
The Advantage Electrol has several options which make it a great choice for schools, lecture halls, libraries and corporate environments. Because it can be installed during the construction phase of your office, there is no pressure to buy a "finished" screen while budgets may still be on the table. The option of many remote controls also adds to its flexibility.

The Velourtex mats offer exceptional value. The surface of the Velourtex mat is made from a high quality nylon yarn, providing a silky smooth texture, similar to late model original equipment floor mats, but with a heavier and more dense carpet face. They have the same advanced structure as the best and most expensive mats offered by Lloyd Mats. The wide choice of embroideries gives you an opportunity to personalize and upgrade the interior of your car at a very competitive price. Add the logo of your choice from Lloyd's extensive, licensed library of logos for car brands and models, for military and for lifestyles. Or personalize your mats with lettering of your choice.
Lloyd Mats has a custom mat pattern for virtually every vehicle sold in the US since 1960. The patterns are developed by Lloyd Mats for the best possible fit. The patterns are digitized, and the mats are cut using AutoCAD ultrasonic cutting technology to ensure a perfect fit to your vehicle, with the Lloyd mats often covering a slightly larger floor area than the mats provided by the car manufacturer.
Note: These mats are made to order and not returnable except for manufacturing errors. It is not a manufacturing error that the Lloyd Mat is slightly bigger than the OEM mats. Always test fit the mats before you file a complaint on a suspected misfit. In 99.9% of all cases you will find that the Lloyd Mat fits better than the original mat.
59.90Lloyd Mats® (Lloyd) is the largest U.S. manufacturer of custom fit floor mats. The company started business in 1974. In 1999 Lloyd's employees purchased 100% of Lloyd's shares under a qualified Employee Stock Ownership Program. This makes for unsurpassed customer service and attention to detail, with every employee taking responsibility for his or her work as any good business owner does. Lloyd Mats are all made in a large plant in Los Angeles, California. Mat patterns are digitized and the mats are cut to perfect custom fit using AutoCAD controlled, ultrasonic cutting equipment. Lloyd has a pattern for virtually every make and model of car, truck or van sold in the United States from 1960 to the present. Development of mat and embroidery computer programs and the actual manufacture of the mats and the mat embroidery are all performed in Lloyd's plant, to ensure that all patterns and mats meet the high and strict quality standards that have made Lloyd Mats the undisputed leader in the custom car mat industry.

Though I don't always let myself think of her in these terms, she's almost four. (Almost four!) She's spontaneous and ebullient. Just when I think she's paying no attention to me at all, she drops her book and calls to me. Mama! Oh, Mama! "Yes, my love?" Oh, Mama. I love you all the way to three rocket ships! I smile at the recognition of her expansive expression, just as she adds another word. I love you all the way to three rocket ships crashing! She giggles. I question her. "My love rocket ships are crashing?" Yes! Because they're so far into the dark they can't even see each other - that's how far I love you!
A classmate of hers, he's almost three. Or maybe just three. For some reason tonight when I was kneeling to pack E's bag, he wordlessly came up to me and high-fived me with both hands. At least, that's what it would be if I had open palms on my nipples. He's almost three, or just three. Did he just smack my breasts? Or was he just in a typical weird little kid way getting my attention, not even noticing breasts against his hands? Is he carefree and goofy, or three-going-on-15?
The other girl, she's even closer to two than the big one is to four. She backs into me as she finishes her juice box. I kiss her, zerbert-style, at her nape. She turns around and yells at me. No kisses! No kisses, Mommy! "Okay, my love," I tell her, faux-chastised. As soon as her back is to me again she smiles slyly at me over her shoulder. Again, again! I zerbert until I'm out of breath.
II. Guardedly
Then there are the years when they will be 15, or 22. When designs of affection, verbal or physical, will be needfully thwarted, avoided. When they will learn not to give so freely of their bodies, of their hearts.
III. Cautiously
And then, I hope, they will find the part where with careful judgement and maybe a few lucky guesses they won't need to be so guarded. That they can love without defense.
IV. Without regard
And then a woman finally reaches comfort and confidence with her own body. She can walk and sway and smile. She needn't skulk or gaze at her toes. And then she has kids. And just when she claimed her own body, dignity and ownership were stripped. There were stretch marks and specula and cervical checks and lactation consultants and the babies, for which she was anatomically designed but not mentally prepared.
V. In the public domain
And for myself, I've come to acceptance that my body is no longer mine, no longer meant to be mine. The younger girl's version of snuggles involves belly flopping on my face, her forearm to my throat so I can barely breathe. And through oxygen deprivation still I hold her, I squeeze her and tickle her and kiss her and my own discomfort? Not her concern, nor barely anymore mine because she gives herself over bodily to me, for love.
The older girl, I snuggle her at night and she drapes across me. I am her pillow, her ottoman, her fainting chair perhaps. I extricate finally my arm from beneath her head and she snatches at the air. No, Mama, I'm not done with your arm! She grabs at the night and swipes it, holds it against her heart. "Fine, my love," I tell her each night, pantomiming my own amputation, "keep it. I like that arm, though, so just give it back in the morning, okay?" I throw my invisible limb in her direction. She tucks the unseen against her pillow. Thanks, Mama! Sweet dreams! I love you to the rocket ships!
And the other one: I'm in my third trimester now. He's closer to baby than fetus. He could be Baby, if he needed to be. Though for now he's content to keep simmering, his bubbles burble to the surface all day and all night, reminding me to mind the clock, keep stirring. He kicks and punches me. He's not even here and he already knows that he doesn't have to respect the boundaries of my form. A mama's body is not for her.
i. Abstract
In these tender years, when phantom limbs hold real comfort and zerberts are the currency of love, why do they not know how beautiful it is that they give themselves so freely? And why are the years of loving so uninhibitedly so terribly short?

Mammoth High School Principal Gabe Solorio will be out on medical leave beginning Monday, Nov. 21, until sometime in January, school officials confirmed today. Former MHS principal Mike Agnitch will take the reins as the high school's interim principal until Solorio returns.
Solorio became the high schools principal after Agnitch retired in 2009. Solorio was the middle school's principal for several years before becoming the high school principal.
Here's what the district said about the situation in a press release released the morning of Nov. 22:
"The Mammoth Unified School has announced that Mammoth High School Principal Gabriel Solorio has been granted a short term medical leave to tackle some old skiing injuries.
"Recently retired Mammoth High School Principal Michael Agnitch has been appointed as the interim Principal until Principal Solorio returns in late January.
"Mr. Agnitch is best suited for this short term assignment as he knows the staff and is familiar with the organizational structure of the school district. We are confident that he is going to be able to "hit the ground running".
"We wish Principal Solorio the best and expect him back in his position as the Principal at Mammoth High School in fairly short order."

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster: An open-air adventure for all the senses
May 5, 2007 Mercedes-Benz has opened up a new dimension in refinement for open-top super sports cars with the news that it will release a roadster version of its SLR McLaren super sports car in September. Using carbon fibre technologies developed from its Formula 1 cars, the roadster will be endowed with a high degree of safety as well as extreme torsional stiffness at the same high level as the coupe version. Performance will also be identical to that of the coupe, with a maximum speed of 332 km/h and an AMG V8 compressor engine delivering 460 kW/626 bhp. Developed and built at the McLaren Formula 1 complex in Woking (UK), the company refined the aeroacoustics of the new car in the team's wind tunnel to ensure conversation is still possible at well over 200 km/h with the top down.

American Music Masters 2003
Share This
Copy and paste to share on your blog.
Buddy Holly - 2003
Rock and roll icon Buddy Holly is the honoree for the eighth annual American Music Masters series. Buddy Holly was in the spotlight of American popular music for only two short years, but the wealth of material he recorded in that time had a major and lasting impact on popular music. Holly was an innovator who wrote his own material and was among the first to exploit such advanced studio techniques as double-tracking. He pioneered and popularized the now-standard rock-band lineup of two guitars, bass and drums. In his final months, he even began experimenting with orchestration. Holly's catalog of songs includes such standards of the rock and roll canon as "Rave On," "Peggy Sue," "That'll Be the Day," "Oh Boy!" and "Maybe Baby." Tribute Concert Performers: John Mellencamp, Marshall Chrenshaw, Bill Pinkey and the Drifters, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Nanci Griffith, Wanda Jackson, Lenny Kaye, Kevin Montgomery, John Mueller and Tommy Allsup.

Cablevision announces Q2 results, Madison Square Garden spin-off
Cablevision said today that its board of directors has signed off on a plan to spin-off its Madison Square Garden (MSG) division, which includes the New York Knicks, Rangers and Radio City Music Hall, into a separate company by the end of the year.
The proposed spin-off still needs to clear various approvals, but Cablevision President and CEO James Dolan said the end result would "create two distinct companies, logically organized, with defined strategies and enhanced clarity for investors."
Under the current structure, investors who wish to invest in Madison Square Garden's entertainment and sports endeavors have to also invest in Cablevision's cable business, and vice versa.
Once the spin-off is complete, Cablevision shareholders would own shares in both Cablevision and the new MSG. Cablevision expects the spin-off will be in the form of a pro rata distribution to all shareholders of Cablevision, with holders of Class A common stock receiving Class A shares in Madison Square Garden and holders of Class B common stock receiving Class B shares in Madison Square Garden.
Once the ink dries on the spin-off, the Dolan family would control both Cablevision and the new MSG through its ownership of Class B shares. The Dolan family has previously tried to take Cablevision private but was unable to do so.
Cablevision made a point today of reiterating that it is not considering the sale of MSG, any of MSG's businesses or any other Cablevision business at this time.
Following the spin-off, James Dolan would become executive chairman of the new, public Madison Square Garden and would continue in his present role as president and CEO of Cablevision. Hank Ratner would be president and CEO of Madison Square Garden, and would remain Cablevision's vice chairman while Charles Dolan would continue in his role as Cablevision's chairman.
Despite solid results from its cable operations, Cablevision posted a net income of $87 million, or 29 cents per share, in the second quarter, compared with $94.7 million, or 32 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago. Cablevision's second-quarter consolidated net revenues increased 9.8 percent to $1.88 billion due to growth in the telecommunications services and Rainbow divisions.
Compared with the same quarter last year, consolidated adjusted operating cash flow (AOCF) increased 7 percent to $636.3 million, and consolidated operating income grew 15 percent to $336.5 million.
"For the second quarter, Cablevision enjoyed solid increases in both revenue and AOCF," James Dolan said. "The company also generated more than $200 million in free cash flow, bringing the total amount for the first six months of 2009 to $403 million. Meanwhile, our cable operations continued to add revenue-generating units, including nearly 40,000 new voice customers, which helped maintain Cablevision's industry-leading penetration rates."
Cablevision's cable operations posted a net revenue growth of 4.6 percent to $1.29 billion, with AOCF growth of 6.1 percent to $528.3 million for the quarter. Cablevision said operating income increased 13.7 percent to $323.5 million. The increases in net revenues, AOCF and operating income were primarily due to growth in the company's triple-play services, as well as higher rates in the second quarter.
Cablevision competes against Verizon throughout its New York metropolitan footprint. It recently extended its Wi-Fi service into Rockland and Orange counties in New York.
"The company seems to be holding up pretty well against the competition so far," said Patti Reali, directing analyst for Trender Research. "So long as they continue to add value, with things like Wi-Fi, and eventually RS-DVR and interactive applications, and keep customer service levels high. But they are up against a real juggernaut in Verizon FiOS, which is posting gains in the hundreds of thousands across the markets where it operates, not single digit thousands.
"Cablevision does have an advantage so far with local programming and sports channels, but Verizon is committed to building up a local channel of its own. I'm inclined to believe that all things being equal, access to specialized, or exclusive, content could be the big differentiator for them."
Cablevision lost 8,700 basic video subscribers in the second quarter, which was down 38,000, or 1.2 percent, from June 2008. On the plus side, the nation's fifth-largest MSO added 56,000 digital video subscribers, which was a 2 percent increase over March and a 4.1 increase over the same quarter a year ago.
On the data side of the ledger, Cablevision brought in 17,900 new subscribers in the second quarter, which was largely flat from March, but up 4.5 percent from last year. The Bethpage, N.Y.-based company increased its telephony head count with the addition of 37,600 new customers for a 2 percent gain over March's results and an 11.3 increase over the same quarter a year ago.
Cablevision's Optimum Lightpath division saw its net revenues decline 2.4 percent to $60 million. AOCF increased 21 percent to $25 million, and operating income improved from $3.8 million to $4 million compared with the prior year. Cablevision said Optimum Lightpath's second-quarter results were impacted by adjustments to intra-segment revenues and interconnection charges.

All going over the fiscal cliff means is that we get it's Clinton's economy tax rates, stupid. There is also a level of expenditure cuts, which should have been cut anyway were Obama, Boehner negotiations successful. Clinton overtaxed and got a stimulative savings rate (government sector). If we go over the fiscal cliff, the democrats (Colin Powel) would be regarded as the party to maintain Defense spending and still meet locked net Equity quotas (tax Revenue less Expenditures).
One of the criticism's of H the men who built America is they did it on the backs of the little guys like Henry Ford and Nikola Tesla. With the Clinton era tax rates that Obama propeses, those 2% making above $250,000 would be taxed at 35%/39.5%. Is Romney the party of ObamaCare, or would Boeher make the MediCare requirements tighter. John Hancock, after writing his signiture, said, "Now the King will be able to read it without his specticles."
The deal Obama has in hand is: all Clinton era taxes he would get if we go over the Fiscal Cliff. Clinton tax rates are higher taxes on the wealthy, which unfortunately goes along with higher taxes on the middle class. If one had all W Bush tax rates (now), we have a 0%/15 rate on equity/liability savings tax, unfortunately along with the wealthy tax cuts. The Summer of 2011, Boehner took a position of no new Revenues, which prevented a negotiated best of both worlds--which also needs a carbon excise tax.
Here's what the Republican get if we go over the FiscalCliff--they can say that they only voted for tax rate cuts. The fiscal cliff would result in the middle class now also paying Clinton era taxes for perhaps a year or two! In Democracy, every one participates. To screw in a lightBulb in Washington DC, it takes one President to hold the lightBulb and 535 Congressmen to turn the Capital building around.

Leather cardholder/wallet workshopStitch KitchenSunday, 10 February 2013 at 12:00 - Wednesday, 13 February 2013 at 11:00 (CET) |
The class is given by leather accessories designer/maker, Candice Lau, of the brand Kuku Big Bag. She learnt the traditional art of leather work at the London College of Fashion and later at the Alri Workshop in Hong Kong.
She created the Stitch Kitchen pop-up workshop to teach leathercraft and as a way to spread her love of traditional leather work and bring communities of creative people together.
Kuku Big Bag is a brand of handcrafted, modern and functional design leather accessories, satchels, backpacks and bicycle panniers. They are designed for creative professionals with an eye for refined, bespoke design pieces. Kuku Big Bag proudly engenders traditional leather craftsmanship and hand stitching as core their production processes.
Kuku Big Bag is inspired first and foremost by a life spent in Hong Kong, Sydney, London, Amsterdam and a love for the buzz of city living. In the recent time spent in the Netherlands, Kuku Big Bag has been highly influenced by the dutch creative culture, their love for functional design and most important of all, their products that are designed around their mobile, cycling culture. These influences of contemporary, minimalist, functional designs ideas eventually set the boundaries of the Kuku Big Bag creative language.

Much of this sounds promising. The idea of energy independence is certainly a contentious issue, but with automobile gas consumption decreasing in the US and national oil sources increasing, it seems like we at least have the equation working in our favor.
Unfortunately, as this article suggests, Americans still rely too much on oil. While solar and wind energy sources are not discussed in this piece, hopefully up-front costs for harnessing solar and wind power will also decrease with time (as technology improves) and we can depend less and less on natural gas and oil.
Four more years of no real energy policy, reducing the standard of living of millions of Americans while talking-up alternative energy which does not exist or is not feasible. Wind is unreliable, and solar is expensive and has to be subsidized. Nat gas is the bridge fuel of choice but the government is too anti to understand the issues. Sad.
What in the hell are you talking about? What sort of energy policy do you want? As the article stated, natural gas and oil production in the US is booming.
agreed grinell...the US energy boom is nigh at hand
Democrats arguements on "green technology" is completely at fault for American's stubborn love of oil. There is no reason to make the argument idealogical. If you say america should change because it is destroying the world, your going to get a huge argument about why america isn't destroying the world.
But if you say America should switch to this technology because its efficent, will cost everyone less, and improves our defense because we could be self supporting, no one can argue the point. Who is going to say, I want less efficent cars because I like paying more for gas?
Make the argument about efficency and sell a future where all american's houses have a net-zero energy usage and even more expensive energy cost less. Houses that can product enough electricity to power a car for free are possible, and who wouldn't want that?
It doesn't matter if someone believes drilling for oil anywhere and everywhere is a good idea, if you counter with that being the more expensive option. Also, even if you don't believe in Global warming, everyone know coal and oil polute, and if you disagree, I would challenge you to stand in a closed garage with a car on or a lit charcoal grill. Its not an argument about saving the world, its all about technology.
funny how germany is not just kicking the world's butt when it comes to solar, but standing over it and spitting in its face, and yet nobody's saying a word about it here. we're so busy digging up dead dinosaurs that we're totally ignoring the big shiny thing that's not going to go away for a long, long time.
Persistent drought conditions throughout a great portion of the United States should be a harbinger for the demise of fracking, but apparently not. As a resident of the State of Colorado, I have witnessed several years of drought, enornmous fires, lack of irrigation for crops, but fracking continues. Billions of gallons of water are being pumped into the ground! We certainly will not be able to eat or drink natural gas, but we will have an abundance of it!
You had better check your facts. "Billions of gallons . . " are not being pumped into the ground. The water is re-cycled and re-used in other fracking jobs. There are companies which specialize in this reuse. Linking fires to fracking is a bit out there . . .
I've read that some of the water is recycled and there are new technologies and processes that will probably lead to more. But to imply that all the water is recycled is disingenuous.
Water is an issue. Especially in areas facing droughts like Texas. I am not certain what percentage of the water is routinely recycled.
There are several emerging technologies that support waterless fracking. One in particular is, GasFrac with a liquid propane gel.
Nice piece of cognitive dissonance.
Science tells us in no uncertain terms that our fossil fuel use causes climate change, yet people rejoice when a new oil or gas source can be exploited.
Reminds of heroin addicts who have just found a vein that can still be penetrated with a needle, or an obese diabetic who's just won a fee year-supply of candy. The difference being that those at least have the courtesy to keep most of the misery to themselves.
It should also be mentioned that as the U.S. shifts to energy supplied by clean burning natural gas, and away from coal it is dropping its greenhouse gas emissions far faster than anyone predicted, and the switch to natural gas is accelerating this change. Its the U.S. energy industry, focused on practial new technology and earning a profit, that is doing more to make the U.S. energy self sufficient, control energy costs, convert the U.S. to cleaner burning fossil fuels, and reduce greenhouse emission, than Obama, Government, and all the radical green environmentalist put together. All Obama's $100 billion in Green investments has accomplished is filling the pocket of campaign contributors, while flushing $100 billion in borrowed dollars down the toilet.
"Clean burning" natural gas? Natural gas is composed of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons burn in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Er...carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. No doubt you pride yourself on your immunity to basic facts.
The OP is referring to the fact that fewer greenhouse gas emissions are generated by natural gas plants as compared to coal power plants per unit of electricity produced. Of course once all coal power plants are shut down natural gas will cease to help the fight against global warming, but that wont be reached any time soon.
In the medium term natural gas presents one of the most realistic hopes in the fight against global warming and should be used to bridge the gap until new technologies become commercialised.
valwayne, it is interesting that you failed to mention how more fuel efficient cars, fuel efficient appliances/furnaces etc. are also making a huge contribution to the decline in emissions.
I don't know when folks like you (and the people who argue the complete opposite of you) will ever understand that there is no single solution to all the world's problems. Both the free market and government/regulation/policy have an important role to play in the solution.
ALL energy sources need to be researched and developed. It is not an either/or.
I find it amazing that you're touting natural gas as a cleaner alternative to traditional petroleum products. Yes, natural gas burns cleaner, but the process of fracking produces methane which is more devasting for the climate than carbon emissions. Also, the billions of gallons of water injected into shale beds, where does that come from? A large portion of the country is plagued by persistent drought. Farmers in my state can't get water to irrigate their crops, but we pour billions of gallons into the ground! DRINK NATURAL GAS AND TELL HOW GOOD THAT TASTES.
Up until the past few years I always was amazed that I could replace my 6 year-old fridge with a new model maybe 30% or more efficient but I would always have problems finding any autos even slightly more efficient than my old car. Finally, automakers are investing time and energy into efficiency. You see even plain-old gas engines getting 40+ MPG now.
Sorry, I Recomended.
Long term there no future in Oil, Gas and Coal.
OIL Gas and Coal is going to sfficate humanity by Global Warming.
There is no future in using up the last drop.
SOLD to you!
It is downright bizarre for a major publication to discuss the economics of fossil fuels up to 2035 without mentioning the carbon cost of these resources. If America is to be serious about global warming, it will indeed have to be self-sufficient, but in an entirely different energy technology. Not discussing this now is doing a disservice to your readership.
What's bizarre about it? America is not serious about global warming. Neither is the rest of the world.
Sure, Al Gore and others pay lip service to the issue. But that's all it is. Al Gore is far from making any serious proposal. And his own lifestyle belies any concern about carbon costs.
So The Economist is not doing a disservice to readers by ignoring the global warming issue. Not at all.
John TheO, I agree emphatically. How amazing in a supposedly thoughtful magazine that it seems not to have entered anyone's head to even mention the planetary consequences of burning the oil.
Surely this was written before Sandy, but that still doesn't excuse it.
Here are some numbers that I believe the article should have addressed:
According to scientists we can burn 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide and still stand a chance of remaining below 2°C of warming — anything more than that risks catastrophe for life on earth.
Yet fossil fuel corporations already have 2,795 gigatons in their reserves, five times the safe amount.
It has to stay in the ground folks, it's that simple.
Evidently you didn't read the companion article which discussed how TE supports a carbon tax that covers the true cost of emissions/pollution.
stay in the ground.?. so now youre going to read by candelight like abe lincoln and ride your bicycle 25 miles to work.. OMG
"ride your bicycle 25 miles to work"
Would do you good. Cures your obesity, too.
Do you seriously believe that everything but candlelight needs fossil fuels? We can generate all the electricity our two-person household needs with five solar panels on the roof. And we live at 47 degrees north.
I believe global warming is a fact. At the same time I realize that there is no green technology or even combination of green technologies at this point that can take the place of fossil fuels. That's not to say that renewables are not worth striving for. As a number of people have stated here, natural gas appears to be the least evil of the alternatives available to bridge our societies to renewables.
A "liberal" is a "conservative" who has not been mugged yet. In other words, every well meaning "save the world type" will change their tune once their self interest is at stake, i.e. $10 per gallon of gas, etc. Ergo another of life's truisms; "Necessity is the mother of invention". Meaning until the waves are lapping at people's feet you will be unsuccessful in your social engineering goals. And a last word of encouragment for you, I hear many posters talk about this new found source of energy as a "bridge" strategy until we discover/develope alternative technologies...hope springs eternal. Take Care!
It is interesting to see that the US has immensely benefited from the progressive establishment of energy free markets around the world they have helped to build through dozen of years of intellectual influence to import vast amount of oil and gas at a small price (incredibly the US imported not crude oil but refined products, since it built its last refinery in 1971!) but now having new reserves of fossil fuels they are hesitating into sharing it on the world market where demand for natural gas, even liquefied at a higher price, is enormous (Japan and Korea especially).
Free markets, good for us when it comes to import their resources but not for me when I am in a position to export them through various free trade agreement I have with other countries and regional economic zones.
Well it is going to be interesting to see it develop in the next years. Which way the US will choose : protectionism or free trade? Hamilton or Jefferson? In the energy sector or industry or in other fields it is going to be really interesting to see at which point the US will support their own ideology.
The article overlooks significant political resistance to fracturing here. Perhaps the opposition is justified, perhaps not, but depending on the location, projects could be significantly delayed by environmentalists and others concerned about the consequences of injecting this material into the ground(water). I wonder if the energy self-sufficiency projection takes into account the possibility of such delays.
Assuming The Economist doesn't have a Romneysque faith that American exceptionalism extends to geology, the obvious question to be asked, yet ignored here, is when will the same thing happen elsewhere.
The Economist is very good at the big picture. But when it comes to the UK, then we hear how England is too crowded (but not for wind turbines), we don't have enough water (!) and we should obsess about imperceptible earthquakes.
The narrative is : The US is wonderful. But here in Little Britain we have to operate on the reality of not today, but a 2008 Energy White Paper and will forever thus
I don't believe in Amerian exceptionalism but the development of tight oil and shale gas in the U.S is likely exceptional. Not sure where I read it (it may have been this publication) but the author made a creditable case for a prediction that the rapid rise in tight oil and shale gas, likely won't be repeated elsewhere.
The U.S had a unique combination of factors that allowed it to happen their. One of the most important factors being wide spread private ownership of sub-surface oil and gas rights.
I believe similar development will occur else in the world, but it won't occur as rapidly or be quite as fruitful.
The US can benefit financially and (to an extent) environmentally from this. Oil prices are going to remain high for the foreseeable future and the US has a lead in this technology. Therefore it makes sense for the US to use less oil at home and sell more overseas. What's needed is a federal gas tax. This will encourage auto makers to innovate and consumers to conserve. It might make a dent in the fiscal deficit.
At the same time get rid of the ethanol subsidies, which will offset the gas tax, lower food prices and save revenue at the same time.
Currently it is illegal for crude oil to be exported from the U.S.
Assuming the IEA is counting on production on federal land. If so, then energy production will not reach high levels because of the democrats who champion the environmental cause will block it. Especially considering fracking is the new demon to slay by this special interest lobby.
Domestic oil production has only increased mainly due to production from private lands and the Obama administration has strangled permits for federal lands, not to mention the knee-jerk over-reaction with the off-shore drilling moratorium, that set back oil production. A smaller off-shore driller: ATPG has gone into bankruptcy, despite some poor management decisions its is bankrupt due to the moratorium.
A quick comparison of domestic fossil fuel production statistics over the last decade or so will suffice to put the lie to your post. All production growth has occurred during Obama's (D) administration.
"Will America be self-sufficient? Maybe. Independent? No."
The Economist may be hasty & incorrect in definitively saying energy independence is a "no". However unpopular, Canada had a National Energy Policy (NEP) by which prices in consuming provinces like Ontario and Quebec were sheltered from world levels, to the chagrin of producing province, Alberta. NEP almost split that nation with Alberta even electing a separatist MP to the Parliament.
Thus, US could establish a similar "Made in America" price for fuels produced locally. But then, Texas would start threatening secession again!
I've already said my piece about the IEA forecasts, namely that I think that they're batty. There's no sense bellyaching about that any more.
Senator Ron Wyden is set to chair the senate committee that has oversight over export approval for natural gas. He may well block export projects - he's stated as much. Unfortunately, intentionally disconnecting North American gas prices from those of the rest of the world might also strangle much of the exploration that has caused the current windfall. That would also be a large redistribution of the benefits of the boom from the risk-taking producers to the users of natural gas, the ethics of which are dubious.
And of course Senator Wyden probably hasn't considered that some of the renewable energy projects he purports to support will also be strangled in the cradle if natural gas prices stay as artificially low as they are now.
I agree - keeping gas bottled up in North America is economically equivalent to setting a bottom price that producers can sell at. It amounts to subsidization of consumers, and has all the problems that come with that, namely inefficient use of energy by consumers and underinvestment by struggling producers.
What's wrong with that? Energy is strategic, not just commercial. It is up to each country to decide whether it has enough of a strategic resource to export, or to keep it for its own use. E.g. rare earths.
Many countries do subsidize oil and gas, and/or prevent the export of certain materials (like China, obviously). In my opinion this is usually wrong-headed. There are political and trade risks. China, for example, benefits enormously from imported commodities like iron ore. If they were to stop trading things they have in abundance, like rare earths, at ANY price, it could kick off tit for tat protectionism that hurts everyone.
But the bigger problem I have is that protectionism and subsidy leads to inefficiency and waste. How much electricity do Indian peasant farmers waste because it's given to them for free? How much oil do Saudis and Iranians fritter away on useless joyrides? Overall, humanity could make better use of those resources if they were valued correctly, not arbitrarily by some bureaucrat or artificially through some trade barrier. Including the exporter's citizens themselves - I would argue that Saudis would benefit more from the hard currency their oil would bring in than getting cheap gasoline from the government (it would certainly be better for the environment). But once people get used to such entitlements I suppose it's hard to convince them they should do without it for the sake of some abstract concepts.
I guess that I want low energy bills as much as the next guy but I suspect that there really is, somewhere, a hard limit on fossil resources, not to mention global warming. Cheap, and especially artificially cheap energy, would no nothing (and actually negatively impact) for eventually replacing fossil fuels with renewables of some sort.
What price would be appropriate for a tonne of CO2?
Depends who you ask I guess :)
I guess you can calculate it one of two ways. Either estimate how much damage that tonne of CO2 makes, or estimate how much it would cost to sequester that CO2.
I think the second method would probably be more objective, but estimates range everywhere from $2/ton to $80/ton (http://www.netl.doe.gov/publications/proceedings/01/carbon_seq/p25.pdf).
Whatever the case, I think it's only fair that all industries and consumers pay the price. That is why I favour a carbon tax over carbon credits - it can be applied more fairly and transparently, and everyone contributes rather than one or two big ugly industries.
I agree, make the process transparent. If you consume carbon, you pay the internalized cost of CO2.
