Review: Tesla Motors pioneers all-electric performance sports car Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I would hope we all want to eventually live in a society that is no longer dependent on foreign oil, a society that is able to provide basic transportation needs with its own sources of power. Do we want to continue polluting our world and destroying our environment through the burning of fossil fuels? Driving an electric car helps eliminates such destructive dynamics, and the Tesla Roadster seems to be taking us all in the right direction. Let's hope Toyota is paying attention, too, and is working on its own all-electric vehicle that we can all afford.

Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown David Steinman See book keywords and concepts

Biofuels represent a huge opportunity to reduce our consumption of conventional petroleum-based fuel (and our dependence on foreign oil). Biofuels reduce lifecycle C02 [greenhouse gas] emissions, because the plants from which they're derived absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during growth. Biofuels reduce tailpipe emissions of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons, compared with conventional diesel fuel. And biofuels support the American agricultural economy.

And, beyond cleaning products, of course, are our appliances and a whole host of miscellaneous products—from cooking utensils to shaving razors—that we can purchase to make our lives healthier and simpler while doing something good for your nation's independence from foreign oil sources. I'll tell you about all of these throughout the rest of Safe Trip. So what can we do? How do we do it? How do we pick out safe products from the grocery store? How to tell what is carbon neutral?

The idea is to do something useful towards eliminating America's dependence on foreign oil, help put the American family farmer back to work, and clean up the environment we live in."50 Distribution Drive, distributor of Willie Nelson Biodiesel, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Earth Biofuels, Inc. Earth Biofuels is a publicly traded company under the ticker symbol EBOF. On the top priority list for all biofuels, including those manufacturing and marketing biodiesel, is to eliminate the use of toxic methanol, a fossil fuel derivative, in processing and lowering nitric oxide emissions.

Sound environmental policy, aimed at addressing both global warming as well as dependence on foreign oil and nuclear proliferation, can become one of our most powerful sticks. "Yes, there is an alternative to the Euro-wimps and the neocons, and it is the 'geo-greens,'" said Thomas L. Friedman in his January 30, 2005, New York Times column.13 I am a geo-green.

America is dangerously dependent on foreign oil. Also, increasingly scientific evidence is mounting that must be taken seriously: manufacturing and processing of petroleum and fossil fuels and petrochemicals is not only a great source of industrial might, they are also alleged to be linked with global warming. These selfsame chemicals are also clearly causing long-term, multigenerational damaging effects on our reproductive health—this unbridled dependency on fossil fuels almost exclusively places a great nation in a vulnerable position.

If everyone owned a car like this one, Americans could very likely reduce our country's addiction to foreign oil and assist in reducing the problem of global warming. Soon to be on the road, it would seem that these are among the most environmentally friendly vehicles available. The Tesla Roadster can be recharged using solar energy; with installation for this option provided at the customer's home by SolarCity, a partner of Tesla Motors. SolarCity (www.solarcity.com) is a provider of solar energy systems, delivering power to homes and businesses.

The Catawba mill has also been officially recognized for being one of the cleanest in the world and is one of only four facilities to meet the EPAs Voluntary Advanced Technology Incentive program Tier 1 requirements. What all of this means, in plain talk, is that facilities like the Catawba mill have cut adsorbable organic halide emissions to less than half the minimum requirements of standard facilities.35 Since these emissions are a marker for use of dangerous chlorinated fossil fuel hydrocarbons that can cause cancer, reproductive harm, and other maladies, lowering them is a good thing.

The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century James Howard Kunstler See book keywords and concepts

As the price of gold levitated up toward $140 an ounce, the foreign oil producers, especially Arabs spooked by the dissociation of money from gold, sought to raise the dollar price of their crucial commodity. The Watergate scandal effectively distracted the American public from the momentous transition going on in global economic relations. While Nixon tergiversated, the United States quietly surrendered its position as the world's swing oil producer, meaning that it lost pricing control of the world's single most crucial commodity.

America's trade imbalances, aggravated by the increased importing of foreign oil, grew steadily worse. Overseas dollars were accumulating and could still be exchanged for gold under the Bretton Woods agreements (at the $35-an-ounce rate that had remained unchanged since the FDR days). Only now there were far too many dollars in other countries to be exchanged for gold at the official price. Eroding confidence in the dollar threatened mass redemptions of American gold. Foreign governments, or their central banks, could show up at any time at the "gold window" of the U.S.

FDA accused of suppressing drug safety information (commentary) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Grow our own biodiesel and reduce our need to import foreign oil. At the same time, we need to outlaw many prescription drugs, especially for long-term use. We need to outlaw, for one thing, the use of these drugs in children. Instead of doing the responsible thing of addressing children's nutritional habits, of taking junk foods out of schools, banning the advertising of soft drinks, junk foods and sugar cereals to children, instead of giving them some recess time, what do we do? We drug them. We say, "Oh, well, they just have some brain chemistry imbalance," and we dose them full of drugs.

Better than the Flat Tax, the Flax Tax saves our economy and our health! (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

In this way, a Flax Tax could slash the cost of fuels for vehicles, drastically reduce air pollution from combustion engines, and end our dependence on foreign oil. You could just grow your own fuel in fields across the country instead of having to assault foreign nations who are obviously coveting OUR oil under THEIR sand. (The bastards...) You see, there are many uses for the Flax Tax. Instead of building bombs we'd be building brains; instead of bombing little countries, we'd be investing in our little children and feeding them right.

Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century Alex Steffen See book keywords and concepts

How can we grow food without depending on vast amounts of energy and foreign oil? How can we protect and. enhance biodiversity and the natural environment within and around our farms?" Ableman beautifully recounts his quest, which takes him from rooftop greenhouses in Manhattan to the chili-producing deserts of New Mexico. Organic produce in a supermarket, Poulsbo, Washington.

U.S. market, while domestic production operated well below capacity. Because the global oil industry was dominated at the time so overwhelmingly by American companies, their market allocation systems, and their technical expertise, there was an unrealistic assumption by Americans that these favorable conditions would continue indefinitely. This sense of invulnerability was reinforced when, following the stunning Israeli victory over Egypt in the Six-Day War of 1967, Saudi Arabia attempted to orchestrate an embargo against nations that supported Israel.

Only two years later, the Arab oil embargo disrupted both the cost and continuity of foreign oil. While gasoline prices were skyrocketing and supplies diminishing at the consumer level, the White House Council on International Economic Policy was reporting economic benefits that the oil price increases were generating in the United States. OPEC surplus revenue started recycling back into the American economy: foreign oil-producers began investing in American enterprises—corporate stocks, real property, and advanced weaponry.

Reinheriting the Earth: Awakening to Sustainable Solutions and Greater Truths Brian O'Leary See book keywords and concepts

The rest of us will suffer from more toxic air, global climate change, escalating prices and more dependence on foreign oil. We can end our addiction to fossil fuels by first acknowledging that they have dominated our international economy and that now we must find ways to replace them through innovation and active civil participation. Once this becomes more widely understood, coal, oil and natural gas will go the way of tobacco, but this time, on a much larger scale and a greater toll of lives. I hope this book will help you understand the depth of the situation and inspire solutions.

The Cancer Industry Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts

An additional $1 million was invested in British, German, Japanese, and Swiss pharmaceutical companies (MSKCC, 1988b). Some of these investments included shares in manufacturers of anticancer drags, as is seen in Table 8. Thus, MSKCC has a financial stake in the health of these companies whose products it tests and employs in the treatment of cancer, and some of whose officials serve on its own board. Memorial Sloan-Kettering was the prototype for all the comprehensive cancer centers.
