Bush For President In 2012
Mrs. Rabbit’s theory is 2012 will be a Bush – Obama matchup. It makes sense, and there are signs the GOP establishment, which is dominated by east coast money, is planning to take out Sarah Palin with a shadowy candidate from their inner sanctum.
Palin is an insurgent. The GOP regulars can’t control her and that makes them nervous. They’ve already fired salvos at her — a sure sign they’ve decided to head her off at the pass before she can give Obama an easy walk to re-election by splitting the GOP base. Palin shows signs of wanting to replicate Ross Perot’s third-party run at the White House, which doomed Bush Sr.’s re-election bid.
Who else do GOP insiders have for 2012? Romney, a proven loser, and a Mormon to boot? Not a chance. They’d have to reach into the GOP backbench for an unknown who’d have little chance to win and would be difficult to control if he did. No, they’ll run a reliable insider with clout, proven vote getting ability, and name familiarity. Karl Rove, the Bush family, and D.C. strategists are already preparing the ground for him.
His name is Jeb Bush.

Well, Jeb Bush converted to Catholicism, which shouldn’t really be a problem in running for President, since Kennedy broke that barrier 50 years ago. But with the Evangelical branch of the Republican Party being what they are, I’m sure some of them would stay home rather than ever vote for either a Mormon or a Catholic.
But it’s hard to say, many of them are pretty inconsistent. I know a number of them rejected Carter, a sunday-school teaching Southern Baptist, because he “gasp” served and drank wine at a White House dinner, and chose instead a divorced actor who regularly imbibed in alchohol (in moderation) and never really attended church service except as part of an official duty.
rhp6033 spews:
The U.S. has engaged in an appeasement strategy with N. Korea since the 1970’s, including both Republican and Democratic administrations. Even without nuclear weapons, they have artillary close enough to level downtown Seoul, and it’s in dug into concrete bunkers so deep that there’s no way we can hit more than a fraction of them by air strike or counter-battery fire.
The key to dealing with North Korea is China, which can turn off the spigots of both military aid and commercial activity. But even the Chinese have only limited control over Idiot Sr. and Idiot Jr. over there.
In all probability, this recent activity seems to be more related to internal power struggles within N. Korea than anything else. If we retaliate, it may simply be exactly the type of response wanted by whoever initiated this artillary fire in N. Korea. Perhaps Idiot Sr. wants to create a patriotic ferver while he hands over power to Idiot Jr., or he want’s to give Idiot Jr. a live fire excercise for him to manage. Or perhaps someone else in the power center in Pyongyang wants to create a crisis which would allow a military coup there.
Whatever the reasons, we should beware of allowing the N. Koreans to “push our buttons” to elicit the desired response.

I didn’t look at the paper, but I’m pretty sure the numbers for global peak coal and peak uranium are rather off. Though with coal I may be mixing the global peak up with the US peak (the US has a shitload of coal).
Too many of these papers rely on current proven reserves economically exploitable at current prices. With coal and especially uranium there are a number of sources that don’t make sense to mine today but would if the prices were higher. There also hasn’t been much in the way of uranium exploration in about 30 years as the prices have been to low to make it worthwhile and exsisting sources have been enough to meet demand.
Furthermore for nuclear power there is also the possiblity of using thorium which is much more abundant than uranium.
This isn’t to say non-renewables won’t run out, but I’m a bit skeptical of the numbers thrown arount for anything other than peak oil and natural gas.
The best way forward is probably to push renewables as much as possible and use nukes to ease the transition.

I’m not disputing the numbers on peak oil or peak natural gas at all.
But remember “peak” doesn’t mean “gone” it just means declining production and price shocks. There are other ways to deal with the food situation long before it is too costly to turn natural gas into ammonia.
As I said, I’ve done fairly extensive research on the uranium supply and EROEI is positive even if you extract uranium from seawater. The enrichment method has a huge impact on the EROEI as does the reactor design.

The fall off when a NG well peaks is really F’ing steep. Oil falls off slower, but we’re using so much of the stuff that it’s really worrying. The numbers on the worlds proven reserves of oil keep getting adjusted downward.
We don’t have as much coal as people think. Coal comes in many different grades and the really high quality, high powered Bituminous and anthracite coals are going fast. We’ve, also, started exporting coal to asia. There’s going to be a coal exporting facility opening up in the Longview area in the near future.

Deathfrogg spews:
@ 55
Grandpa was a Physicist. Did his post-doctorate at Los Alamos during the Second War working with Pief Panofsky and J.R. Oppenheimer. He designed the arming circuitry that triggered The bombs. He was at the Trinity test. His particular specialty was electronic circuits, lasers and masers, high energy systems.
I don’t know what he would have thought about the Thorium designs or the Pebble Pile designs using helium or argon as a coolant, and liquid sodium. He died in 1990 and when Chernobyl happened he went on a rant that lasted for years. He hated the way nuclear power had been thrown into the private sector at such an early stage in the technology. It was too new, and the corporations were then, as now, far too corrupt to be trusted to use the technology intelligently. In this, Edward Teller was an extremely evil man. His primary interests were commercial, and he openly supported the corporations in their efforts to privatize the technology, even slandering my grandpa, the Oppenheimer brothers and many other people in his efforts to gain personal influence in the industry, and generate wealth for himself and his supporters in the private industrial concerns.
Grandpas rant was mostly based on the fact that he and other Physicists had warned the politicians that the old graphite block designs and the rod/tube designs were horribly unsafe, unstable and far too energetic to be made safe. Their warnings were borne out by the disasters at Three Mile Island in ’79 and Idaho National lab back in ’67, then in horrible fashion by Chernobyl in the Soviet Union in 1986.
His ideas about how it should be used were mostly around the concept of small, compact and low energy reactors, say the size of a small apartment building that would be capable of powering sections of cities, or large industrial facilities such as Airports and Refineries. One of the side benefits of that would be the waste heat being available for use to heat runways, keeping them dry and clear of ice or to keep aircraft warm during boarding cycles and waiting cycles.
The reactors would have to be small, and kept to low energy levels to minimize the risk of disasters as the internal pressures could be kept relatively low.
Grandpa didn’t live to see the new designs, the pebble bed or thorium reactors. Liquid sodium being the primary heat transfer medium to actually generate the electricity. Perfectly suitable for his ideas on how nuclear power could be safely used. Low pressures, less heat, and a basically safer design all around.
That is one of the worse examples of the Conservative efforts to destroy the education system in this country. Uneducated people cannot build or run nuclear reactors. Uneducated people cannot advance technology. Uneducated people do not vote against their own best interests.
Thats why I intensely dislike the American concept of conservatism. It is both a reflection of, and a result of an uneducated society, and the continual efforts on the part of established commercial interests to protect their investments at any cost, even if that cost is environmental destruction or massive loss of life. Conservatives have always known the price of everything, and the value of nothing. They do not recognize intellect or intelligence, except in the cases where greed is the primary motivating emotional construct of a mans psyche.
Intellect, when applied to anything but wealth creation, is openly vilified by people who desire only material possessions and political power. All other intellectual pursuits are considered subversive, and dangerous to their interests. There were a lot of good reasons why the old original Physicists were left-wing liberals. They knew what happens when greed takes precedence over safety and societal necessities. They knew the realities of commercial interest. They warned us, and were excoriated for it.

As for the anti-nuclear power folks, much of that propaganda against going to a nuclear power grid was funded by the oil/gas and coal companies, and they only had to tell the truth about the dangers of the old graphite pile designs. There is no place to dispose of the waste, there is no funding to build small plants.
The big industrial construction companies wanted to build gigantic reactors on the old design, and those designs WERE extremely dangerous. The bigger the plant, the greater the danger by orders of magnitude. The corporations were hell bent on extracting the wealth for themselves, rather than actually doing the job they were hired to do.
Who is it that tries to warn people that the private concerns are more a part of the problem rather than the solution?

SIGH?
It’s you who loves to deliver the how wonderful liberals are platitudes. BULLSHIT! You all are a bunch of anarchists when you don’t get your way.
So let’s take this one step at a time.
How much has the United States thrown at the “War on Poverty”? $$$Trillons. What have we to show for those $$$Trillions? Absolutely NUTHIN! Look at the inner city graduation rates. Look at the inner city poverty rates. Look at inner city drug killing rates. Look at inner city job rates. Instead of looking at what worked or doesn’t work liberals always wants to throw more money at it.
Remember one of the first things Odumba did was to kill the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program? Did you forget that? Why was that? It worked. Many inner city kids had the opportunity to venture out to suburban schools and get a hand up on life. The Teachers Union screamed it was a voucher program and it had to be killed. So Odumba had Dicky Turban Durban do his dirty work. The program is dead and inner city WA DC kids go to the most rotten of all school districts where they spend OVER $25,000 per pupil and the SAT and ICTB scores still are near the bottom.
Any time Republicans want to implement school voucher programs it’s liberals who SNEER at them and stop them at all costs. Liberals don’t care about school kids? they care about their high slalaried union jobs, their extravagant education summits in fancy hotels.
Do you remember Joe Clark in NJ or Jaime Escalante in LA? Liberals killed their programs. With Joe Clark liberals claimed blacks cheated on their exams and he was too tough a principal. With Jaime Escalante the liberals claimed no barrio child could score that high on standardized tests without cheating. White Liberals don’t want to see the uneducated minority masses get educated. Why? then they have competition for jobs. They could run nuclear power plants.
Do you actually think white liberals like Dr Ben Carson and the accolades he receives when he performs his pediatric brain surgeries? He came from inner city Detroit. He studied despite being told by teachers he’s amount to nothing.
When some NYC and Chicago elementary school principals implemented a tough love school policy the teachers unions got upset. Those principals were fired. Puddy documented all this on HA. There is a certain low minded individual who has ever PuddyMissive on this blog. Stoop to his level and replay the facts DeadToad.
When Schwartzenegger wanted to slow down CA teacher tenure to make teachers prove themselves, liberals attacked. ‘Sigh’ Don’t go there DeadToad as you have no clue what it’s like to be in a poor school system.
Puddy already dissected your nuclear plant argument above with fact after fact after fact.
So you are saying the anti-nuclear protests full of whack-job loony liberals was funded by big oil? Do tell! This is so illuminating!
And who was fronting them in the 1960s? Liberals in congress and the whitey house!
