Like a Pedophile In A Candy Store, George Bush Goes Wild Trying to Rape Consumers and Environment

Like a "Pedophile Gone Wild" inside a candy store, George W. Bush is running wild in his attempts to rape both consumers and the environment in the closing weeks of his failed administration. George W. Bush is trying to deregulate certain industry, remove safety constraints (IE, Nuclear Industry) meant to protect both Human Health and the Environment. If he is successful, these changes will be almost, if not impossible to fix once the new President takes office in January. To stop this senseless abuse of power, Pelosi needs to convene Congress the day ofter the elections, and immediately begin Impeachment of George W. Bush.

Many of the new rules would weaken consumer and environmental protections and could be difficult for McCain or Obama to undo.

Reporting from Washington -- The White House is working to enact an array of federal regulations, many of which would weaken rules aimed at protecting consumers and the environment, before President Bush leaves office in January.

The new rules would be among the most controversial deregulatory steps of the Bush era and could be difficult for his successor to undo. Some would ease or lift existing constraints on private industry, including power plants, mines and farms.

Those and other regulations would help clear obstacles to some commercial ocean-fishing activities, ease controls on pollutants that contribute to global warming, relax drinking-water standards and lift a key restriction on mountaintop coal mining.

Palin The Pit Bull Talks Oil

Scary, Sarah Palin is talking oil, and it is so obvious that she really does not have any clue in the world, is just too far out there religiously.

First, America's oil supplies are not that good. Secondly, scares the hell out of me when anyone is up there on stage, televsion cameras sending their image all around the world talking about how God has blessed us as a nation with so much oil. Thirdly, we need to GET AWAY FROM OIL as a energy supply, and we need to learn the concept that LESS IS MORE. Perhaps Sarah Palin's down home folksy simplicity works for Alaskan's, and a handful of radical right wing women who have no clue, but she does not, and NEVER SHOULD work for, nor speak America.

On Nuclear Energy, she just promised 45 New Reactors by 2030...first, it cannot be done. We do not have the staff to man 45 new reactors, do not have the expertise to build 45 new reactors by 2030. Even if those obstacles can be overcome, there are not enough parts and manufacturing plants to allow that many to be built by the year 2030. Further, even without cost overruns, you are talking 15 Billion a nuclear reactor...guess who the nuclear industry wants paying the bill? US, as in the American Taxpayer. Now, if we are going to be asked to pay for it, WHERE IS OUR OWNERSHIP? It is NOT THERE. We would pay the build the infrastructure that is supply us our electricity, then turn around and have to PAY FOR THE ELECTRICITY that is being produced...isn't that transfer of wealth, isn't that Socialized Energy?

Lastly...CARBON CREDITS...that is just a way of making the middle class pay a pass through fee FOR NOTHING...it is a con game, a shell game where BIG BUSINESS trades carbon offsets under the guise of being Green, with you and I picking up the tab.

The Great Nuclear Industry Bailout

Greetings Readers...about to head out the door to camp here, and looking forward to taking a break from my blogs. If you have not visited my other blog project started back on December 26th, 2006 I would encourage you to give Green Nuclear Butterfly a read.

On a more serious note, am sharing an article I posted up on that site earlier today over my morning coffee...

I would ask EVERY AMERICAN, every WORLD CITIZEN to give some serious thought to the Wall Street financial tragedy we have all watched over the past few weeks. Fact is, if we do not rein in the Nuclear Industry, if we do not say NO TO THEIR LOAN GUARANTEES, if we do not get the NRC and the IAEA to restrengthen the regulations they have WEAKENED year after year in their quest to keep this industry on LIFE SUPPORT, Wall Streets near collapse will look like a beautiful drive through the fall foliage as the leaves change. Buffett bought into the nuclear industry because he spied a BARGAIN, is a HAWK swooping down and eating the weak for his own financial gain, not because he believes nuclear to be a safe alternative energy source, and if he thinks it is, I'm sadly disappointed at his lack of adequate research of BOTH sides of the issue. He bought a nuclear company that was UNDER CAPITALIZED, a company on the verge of failing...is Entergy or Exelon next?

Simply stated, we as a nation, and as a world are at GRAVE RISK as a result the IAEA and the NRC's lack of oversight, lack of adequate security, and WEAKENED REGULATORY CONTROL. The IAEA is all but bankrupt, the NRC has admitted to a SEVERE shortage of qualified workers for this dying industry, and many regulations meant to protect Human Health and the Environment have been weakened to a point where America's 104 Nuclear Reactors are being run in an extremely unsafe manner, begging a cataclysmic accident that America and the World will never fully recover from.

The industry seeks literally TRILLIONS in the form of a bailout, labeling the taxpayer funded gifts as NECESSARY, claiming every penny will be returned to us...remember the promise of the nuclear industry...ENERGY SO CHEAP IT WILL NOT BE WORTH METERING. 50 years later, the industry cannot stand on its own, the industry has not disposed safely on one singular ounce of their waste streams. Because of the DOE and NRC's inability to figure out the science and technology necessary to build a long term storage facility, 104 nuclear reactor sites in America have become DEFACTO radioactive waste DUMP SITES, yet our government refuses to take action, refuses to be accountable to America's MAIN STREET citizens being forced to live on the edge of impending doom.

Both Presidential candidates (Obama and McCain) have delivered campaign trail rhetoric of new clean, green energy...problem is, nuclear is neither CLEAN, OR GREEN. We have a choice, but only if we make our voices heard. Imagine the giant forward strides that would occur if we took those TRILLIONS of dollars the nuclear industry wanted, and invested them in solar, wind, geo thermal and clean coal technologies, research and implementation. If you are truly green, if you truly want to reverse global warming, if you want to leave this world a better place for your children and grand children, then the time has come to TAKE A STAND...say no to Nuclear Energy, say no to Nuclear Industry Bailouts, and say no too the Rubber Stamping of the NRC's License Renewal Application Process...fact is, by relicensing these aging, dilapidated reactors, the NRC is playing Russian Roulette with our health, safety and financial well being.
