Laura Ingraham - This Just In About Oil Prices

by Ferdinand T Cat

Yesterday on her new show Just In With Laura Ingraham, Laura opened with a segment on high gas prices. Laura makes good use of the video medium with a person-on-the-street clip in which she shows pictures of ANWR and asks service station customers whether they think the caribou are worth all this trouble.

Check out, however, the opening videos of the Al Gore / Barack Obama love-fest.

Like so many Democrats (and voters), Al and Barack talk about renewable, carbon-neutral fuels. Such fuels all require magic, because the renewable fuels currently under consideration are still hydrocarbons that operate by oxidizing hydrogen and carbon into greenhouse gases. If we choose to ignore the climate effects of water vapor, then hydrogen is a real possibility. It seems renewable because we can make it by cracking water or ethanol; however, both those processes require more energy than is released by burning the hydrogen, so it's only renewable if you have an unlimited supply of fossil fuels or nuclear energy to use to make the hydrogen.

Therefore, the only technology that exists now to reduce greenhouse emissions is to use nuclear energy to make hydrogen fuel cells. Obama says that drilling in ANWR is pointless because it won't produce immediate results; however, his renewable, greenhouse-safe new energy source is still in the laboratory. Why can't we do what's best for the people of America right now while we wait for the future solution to work its way out into the real world?

For too long, American energy policy has been based on a network of slogans and pipe dreams, but things are changing. President Bush and Candidate McCain have both started to see the light on this subject. Laura has promised she won't let it go. You can rest assured that we won't, either.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat
