Pelosi stands firm against offshore drilling
WASHINGTON: Upon entering Congress in 1987, Representative Nancy Pelosi quickly became part of the solid California front against oil drilling along much of the nation's coast.Read More
The technology for transforming natural gas or coal into synthetic fuel was invented by Franz Fischer and Hans Trophsch in the 1920s. The Fischer-Tropsch process transforms gas derived from coal (or other substances) into liquid gas. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process is the best-known synthesis process and was used on a large scale in Germany during World War II. Other processes include the Bergius process, the Mobil process and the Karrick process. An intermediate step in the production of synthetic fuel is often syngas, a stoichiometric mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which is sometimes directly used as an industrial fuel.
The process of producing synfuels is often referred to as Coal-To-Liquids (CTL), Gas-To-Liquids (GTL) or Biomass-To-Liquids (BTL), depending on the initial feedstock. Synthetic crude may also be created by upgrading bitumen (a tar like substance found in tar sands), or synthesizing liquid hydrocarbons from oil shale and synthesis gas: a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

Swift Renewable Fuels
Welcome to the next generation of aviation fuels.In fact, this is the introduction of the first and only completely renewable fuel. The current fuel used in piston fired aircraft is 100 Low Lead (100LL). The United States and Europe have banned the use of tetraethyl lead (TEL) in motor fuels. TEL is needed to bring the octane number to 100 in aviation gasoline. There currently is a moratorium on this ban until 2010. Swift has this solution.
Unlike the current process of refining crude oil to arrive at a final fuel, we synthetically create hydrocarbons from bio-mass. This creation method is superior to the existing refining method because we maintain control over the entire process giving us the flexibility to meet or exceed current ASTM specifications.
The advantages of Swift Bio-Synthetic Fuel are:

Now this is Funny-Like Beheadings isn't offensive to Christians!
Archbishop of Canterbury: 'Christian doctrine is offensive to Muslims' Christian doctrine is offensive to Muslims, the Archbishop of Canterbury said yesterday. Dr Rowan Williams also criticised Christianity's history for its violence, its use of harsh punishments and its betrayal of its peaceful principles.His comments came in a highly conciliatory letter to Islamic leaders calling for an alliance between the two faiths for 'the common good'.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has admitted that Christian doctrine is offensive to muslims
But it risked fresh controversy for the Archbishop in the wake of his pronouncement earlier this year that a place should be found for Islamic sharia law in the British legal system. Read More
It turns out that GOD is largest oil polluter!
By Robert R Barney
Are you ready for this one? Guess who is responsible for the most oil spillage into the sea? Exxon, Chevron, or Citgo? All three? Nope, it's God. Turns out that 65% of all oil spills are natural and not man made! Actually, only 1% of all oil spillage into the sea comes from off shore oil rigs! Ironically, 4% comes from ships coming to America laden with Mid East oil! So it is four times worse for the environment to import oil rather than drill off our coast lands! Go Figure.
Why does the liberal environmentalist not know this? The answer is simple, they do know it and lie about it in their plans to sell America to our enemies, mainly today being the Arab nations!
Don't believe me, well here are the facts...........Read On for the proof!!!

In the short term a hundred cubic meters of hydrogen will probably cost as much as a gram of gold
Water is of paramount importance to Earth. Unlike any other planet of the solar system, Earth has two-thirds of its surface covered with water. Our planet has plenty of water – 1.36 billion cubic meters. Unfortunately, 97 percent of water reserves are salt water. Glaciers and icebergs hold 75 percent of all fresh water reserves while subsoil water contains about 22 percent of fresh water. Read More
The shortage of fresh water on planet Earth is likely to become the biggest problem ever during the forthcoming decades. Experts from the International Water Management Institute said in their recent report that the water crisis in the world would occur because of the growing number of population.Read More
