Obama's hollow urge to accelerate clean energy transition
While Obama urged the country to accelerate the pace toward adopting clean energy technologies
that can free us from our addition to oil, which with the BP Gulf disaster has demonstrated to carry such a huge
and increasing cost, in practice, his administration has ignored true
breakthroughs.

In his first address from the Oval Office since he became President of the
United States a year and a half ago, Barack Obama urged the country last night to accelerate the pace toward adopting clean energy technologies
that can free us from our addition to oil, which with the BP Gulf disaster has demonstrated to carry such a huge
and increasing cost.
This wasn't just one of many topics of his 17-minute address, it was the primary
subject.
While I applaud the gesture, I must also comment on the emptiness of the gesture
when it comes to the true
breakthroughs of which I am aware from my vantage
point of covering free energy technologies for the past eight years, focusing on
the 'outside the box' types of technologies.
I can say that nothing has changed in the Obama administration
from the previous administration when it comes to paying attention to and
supporting true
breakthroughs in free energy technology. Like the administration
before his, the Obama administration has ignored technologies that aren't
mere small advancements in the conventional renewable arena. 'Edgy', to
them, is some new geothermal approach, or ocean wave energy, for example.
Never once has someone from the government contacted me to ask how they might
help us scout out and vet cutting edge free energy technologies. And every
attempt to contact them has been futile.
From my perspective, the reason for this oversight isn't just academic
stuffiness, being bashful about paying attention to things that appear to
require a new look at the laws of physics as we know them. It is because
the present administration is well entrenched in the New World Order conspiracy
to establish a world socialist dictatorship, with environmentalism being the
rallying point for giving up national sovereignty and freedom.
True energy solutions that empower the individual and free us from dependence on
a national grid are anathema to such control freaks. The U.S. government
is in bed with the oil interests when it comes to pushing for a more Orwellian
world, with them at the controls. The dream of freedom upon which the U.S.
was founded has been overshadowed by a bunch of criminals who think nothing of
destroying the environment if it serves their agenda of promoting their New
World Order. They only pay lip service to taking care of the planet to the
extent that it serves their political agenda for increasing control over our
lives.
The reason I bother to bring up this unsavory view is so that those of you who
have breakthrough technologies will not be disappointed when you find hindrance
where you thought you should get help. You'll want to look to the Maverick
private sector for a friendly response.
I'm not saying that there will not be a trickle of help coming from the U.S.
government, because I know of at least one case where they are taking indirect
measures to support one of the breakthroughs, but those are the exception, not
the rule. As long as the corrupt forces are running he show, the general
climate will be unfriendly toward true breakthroughs; but it's possible that
some of the breakthroughs could play a role in unseating the corruption, opening
channels for more friendly elements to replace them.
Here's Obama's address to the nation:
For the reasons stated above, though I am skeptical of Obama's seeming sincerity, I will say that I'm glad he gave this message to the nation as it will
certainly help move us toward cleaner technology and away from our addiction to
oil. Pursuing solar, wind and other conventional renewable energy
technologies with more vigor is certainly better than persisting in our
addiction to oil; and there is a ripple effect that as more people become urgent
in the need for clean energy, more will be amenable to the exotic modalities
that can make a much more significant impact.
I was especially touched by his closing appeal to prayer, God, and
faith for pulling through this difficult crisis. If only he genuinely
believed in those things. Unfortunately, it's probably no more genuine than his Hawaiian birth certificate.

how big is that gusher in the Gulf of Mexico? - After having
been pasted by hecklers on Slashdot,
saying that riser was only 21 inches in diameter, not five feet, so
his estimates on the oil flowing from the BP well must have been
wrong, Paul Noel rebuts with additional information that confirms that
the this gusher has been releasing more oil every day than the Exxon
Valdez catastrophe. (PESN; May 23, 2010)

gusher danger not passed - With BP applying several fixes to
the leaking well and the spreading oil, people might tend to classify
this spill as "just another spill" among so many, which will
go away after a while. A bigger blowout is still a very real possibility, and
the repercussions of the oil spilt are far-reaching. (PESN; May

of all gushers could kill Earth's oceans - Imagine a pipe 5

into that reserve and was overwhelmed. If this isn't contained, it
