Invention Secrecy on the Rise
The use of secrecy orders has sometimes been questioned, particularly when they extend to inventions that are not clearly limited to military or other national security applications. Forty years ago, government agencies directed that advanced renewable energy technologies should be reviewed for possible restriction under the Invention Secrecy Act. These included photovoltaics that were more than 20% efficient and energy conversion systems with efficiencies “in excess of 70-80%.” (“Invention Secrecy Still Going Strong,” Secrecy News, October 21, 2010)

The Great Renewable Energy Scam Continues
Wind and solar projects are hugely expensive, require massive taxpayer subsidies, while producing few real jobs. They are astonishingly stupid and unreliable way to generate electricity when one considers that wind power, for example, requires a constant backup supply of electricity from traditional generating facilities.

To add insult to injury, virtually all of the components of wind and solar energy production are manufactured in China where U.S. companies have exported the jobs involved, focusing on assembling the parts instead.

The Institute for Energy Research found that electricity prices are almost 40% higher in states with mandates for their use.

China Opens Oil Field in Iraq
By Phyllis Schlafly The United States waged an incredibly expensive war in Iraq, got rid of their cruel dictator, set up a peaceful democratic government, and rebuilt much of the country's infrastructure. Iraq has the second largest supply of oil in the world, and the spoils of war should belong to us. We should take enough Iraqi oil to [...]

 Fallujah Sewerage System, Iraq
Stuart Bowen, the special inspector general for reconstruction released his report on the sewerage system in October 2008. Bowen went into the details of what went wrong with the Fallujah Sewerage System. The sewerage project was already delayed by three years and costs increased to three times the expected figure.
The work contractors rejected the use of workers from outside Fallujah. Quality was compromised as the local contractors had no experience in building a wastewater treatment plant. Above all, payment for the construction became an unanswered question, with US Embassy officials frozen in "indecision" over budget allocation to the project.

Bowen's report has redrawn timelines for completion of the Fallujah Sewerage system. According to the report it will take another 56 months to serve only 9,300 homes of the planned 24,400, or about 38% of Fallujah's residents.
Discharged wastewater into the Euphrates has caused problems of contamination.
Only around 6% of Iraq's 27.5 million population are served by WTPs.
( At the time of the 2003 invasion Iraq's population was 29 million )


Fallujah’s Wastewater Treatment Plant Update
"There's no doubt that Fallujah and cities across Iraq need billions of dollars of development. Services in the country are a wreck after years of wars and sanctions and nowhere near meeting demand.

My criticism is that the U.S.'s reconstruction plan was a disaster. I'm reading a 2008 audit of the Fallujah project right now and it's a comedy of errors. The original designs for the plant were inadequate, the concrete for the plant was poured improperly, the Iraqi Ministry of Public Words wanted the individual Iraq families in the city to connect their homes to the system on their own! There was no money to build the pipelines from the plant out to the houses to begin with. They didn't talk to Baghdad about getting fuel to run the plant. There was a later report by the Inspector General that said the project should've never been started in the first place because Fallujah was a war zone at the time and all this money got diverted to security and costs sky rocketed as a result. The idea for the plant was fine, the timing and execution were horrible."

Climate Prostitutes, Charlatans, and Comedians
Nearly 2,000 animal species “are fleeing global warming by heading north much faster than they were less than a decade ago,” asserts new “research” just published in the once-credible journal Science. The opportunistic species are moving at the breakneck speed of “about a mile a year,” intrepid climate-chaos promoter Seth Borenstein anxiously noted in his AP wire story.

The situation could quickly reverse if reduced solar activity and the past two years’ frigid Northern Hemisphere winters become the new norm. But neither Science nor the AP mentioned that or explained how the current migrations differ from what’s been happening since the last Pleistocene glaciers retreated and the Little Ice Age ended.

Instead, we’ve been repeatedly treated to amusingly convoluted back-peddling from earlier pronouncements that ski resorts will be a thing of the past and “children just aren’t going to remember what snow is.” Now we’re told that global warming can worsen winters and increase snowfalls. In fact, as one Greenpeace activist explained, “Global warming can mean colder. It can mean wetter. It can mean drier. That’s what we’re talking about.”

Actually, what we’re talking about is Earth’s constantly changing weather and climate caused – not by hydrocarbon use – but by complex, chaotic, unpredictable atmospheric, oceanic, solar, planetary and other forces whose interactions and effects scientists are only beginning to understand. To respond adequately to them, we need building, heating, air conditioning and other technology to adapt to, cope with, and protect our lives and property against those forces – and the prosperity to afford that technology.
