Inhofe Previews Obama SOTU: Obama Should Address Flood of Regs Coming From EPA

Hello, I am Senator Jim Inhofe, Republican Senator from Oklahoma.

Tonight, the President will be delivering his State of the Union Address, and he will speak about bringing the nation together. I applaud him for this effort. This is an important message, especially in the wake of the tragedy in Tucson. We continue to pray for the victims, and for the full and speedy recovery of Gabby Giffords.

The President will also focus on jobs, and various approaches to get Americans back to work. I hope the President addresses the flood of regulations coming from EPA – put simply, they threaten jobs and jobs creation.

The President could find common ground with Republicans if he pledges to bring those rules back into balance. Right now, they pose a dangerous threat to the competitiveness of manufacturers and small businesses, particularly in America’s Heartland.

In just two years, the Obama Administration has put every institution that has made America great under attack. Whether it’s the military, health care, ag, or financial sector, each thinks they are the only ones feeling the brunt of the Obama Administration’s liberal agenda. In fact, it’s all of them….

Noam Chomsky – Ideas of Chomsky BBC Interview (full)


bfgoobla

Published on May 3, 2012

An old interview mostly on Chomsky’s linguistics work, philosophy, and some remarks on political views near the end.

Note: the video is taken from Youtube, where it was broken into five segments, when I re-merged the segments the audio got a little strange, so that before the next segment’s audio starts the audio from the last segment jumps in for a fraction of a second. Its tolerable though.

Al Gore Says Obama Could Have Had A Climate Bill, Warns Shale Gas ‘May Be A Bridge To Nowhere’

http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2013/01/30/1515161/al-gore-says-obama-could-have-had-a-climate-bill-warns-shale-gas-may-be-a-bridge-to-nowhere/

Al Gore’s new book, The Future, isn’t mostly about climate change. In fact, global warming is only one of the “Six drivers of global change.”

Others drivers include globalization, the internet (surprise, surprise) and “the reinvention of life and death” from the genomic, biotech, neuroscience, and life sciences revolutions.

Any Gore book is worth reading — Our Choice is one of the best books on climate solutions — and The Future is no exception. Let me cut to the chase on climate and energy.

In his discussion of why the climate bill failed after passing the U.S. House, Gore takes a different view of one recent academic essay and slams the White House. (more).

Special report Dairy farms suffer in US shale gas fracking boom

28th January, 2013

Dimiter KenarovThe dash for unconventional gas may have brought financial benefits to some, but for struggling dairy farmers in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, the arrival of drilling wells could be the final nail in the coffin. Dimiter Kenarov reports

When Sheila Russell decided to move back to her ancestral home in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, she wanted to start a new life. A seventh-generation Russell, whose family had settled the land in 1796, the last year of George Washington’s presidency, she left her corporate job at a catalogue company to do what she loved best: farming.

AssociatedPress

Published on Jan 29, 2013

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has fingered leafy greens like spinach and lettuce as the leading source of food poisoning, a perhaps uncomfortable conclusion for health officials who want us to eat our vegetables. (Jan. 29)
