Drill Oil and USA & World to Hell?
Tell Us and Them What YOU want!
The USA and world will soon be out of oil regardless. Consequences of too little too late. Links for more info and ACTION. Click here to tell us what you demand.
The Energy and Climate Bill being debated in the USA is at risk of passing as a doom-delivering failure, on the heels of the failure of world leaders at Copenhagen to commit their nations to urgent and decisive action. Worse, like Health Reform, the legislative and political process will make it difficult to know the bill’s ever-shifting details.
We at SEN are convinced that in any event, the USA energy and climate bill is at risk of being “FAR too little, FAR too late, FAR too much wrong, FAR too little right”. The very expression “Drill baby drill!” reflects the drooling of a wealthy few. “Clean coal” and nuclear are not solutions in our view. They are costly and deadly risks at best. How many other nations will join our death-defying and oil-drilling march to hell?
We asked ourselves what could we contribute, given our conviction, based on ample proof, that we are facing a catastrophic exhaustion of many global resources. All converging in the range of 2025-2050. We are saying what many know but do not say: if we do not change course urgently and decisively, the earth will necessarily begin purging billions in the lifetimes of our children. It will do so even if we do not have the catastrophic global warming toward which we are already steadily marching. And so, SEN’s contribution to the collective effort in which many individuals and organizations are now engaged will be as follows:

Nonprofit Group Will Prod Companies to Report Their Water Use
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/business/energy-environment/07water.html?emc=tnt&tntemail1=y
The Carbon Disclosure Project, an investor-backed nonprofit organization that has persuaded some of the world’s largest corporations to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions, will announce on Wednesday that it is asking 302 global companies to begin issuing detailed reports on their water use.
The move begins a campaign to put water consumption on par with carbon emissions as a concern of company shareholders. Scientists predict climate change will aggravate worldwide water shortages in the coming decades.“For investors, it’s a material issue,” Marcus Norton, head of the new project, called C.D.P. Water Disclosure, said in an interview by phone from London. “It matters because long-term investors in particular see that water scarcity is going to impact companies’ operations and supply chains.”
Companies increasingly are running into water-related obstacles. Last week, New York State denied a permit for Entergy’s Indian Point nuclear power plant because of its enormous consumption of cooling water.
A few days earlier, the Environmental Protection Agency issued new water quality rules that could limit mining company operations. And in California, regulators recently pressured the utility giant FPL Group to use more water-efficient technology in a solar power plant project while denying access to water supplies to other developers.
Norges Bank Investment Management in Oslo has identified 1,100 companies in its portfolio facing water risks, according to Anne Kvam, global head of ownership strategies for the bank, which manages $441 billion.
“As investors, we need to know if companies are in industry sectors or regions where water supplies are scarce and how they are managing those supplies,” Ms. Kvam said. “It’s a challenging thing to get good information about water management.”

Add-ons for Firefox
Currently installed on my computer : disabled only means I want the option to run it, but don't want to routinely allocate resources to do so. Feedly I love : but running together with LastPass & Zemanta freezes things up. For that matter, when connectivity is an issue, I often don't run both of them together either - but they can be disabled from the toolbar without restarting Firefox. Regardless, I never can get totally window/tab happy without problems.
