9 Hours and counting

Last night's presentation went well. After explaining how our Limo service could make money and its own fuel, lots of questions about making bio-diesel. When I mentioned the EPA forms to fill out by number, the number of questions dropped to zero. Nothing like being prepared to quiet other students from taking apart your business plan.

Tonight have a presentation in my information system class and the semester is over. The presentation topic is interesting, how a certain security software can impact, positively and negatively the health care industry, but the limo service was more fun.

Two news items to share today:

California needs to be able to secure additional supplies of natural gas. The pipelines are maxed out and very expensive to build and cities are not welcoming new pipeline construction. Also, there are limits to the amount of gas California can get from other states, so that leaves importing gas from over seas. Problem is no one wanted an LPG terminal in their harbor. I DON'T want one in LA Harbor and I live over 10 miles away from the place. So a company said they would build it 20 miles off the coast, easy to protect and if a mishap occurs, it won't harm the harbor or city.

California Government said no for a load of reasons that boil down to, we don't like the idea. So get ready for more blackouts, higher electrical bills and higher natural gas bills. Oh and forget about increasing the number of natural gas powered cars, we don't have the fuel to fill them.

Our government in action. Hat tip Lucianne.

The second item is how the forests contribute to global warming. Yes, you read that right and the article is from Nature, not bad oil company inc. So we should cut down all the trees, paint everything white or just concrete everything over and the temperature will go down.

And we are supposed to listen to these people about climate change? Hat tip Lucianne.
