Is it time yet to look at the Reality of Peak Oil?
I'm always so curious as to why any candidate in the U.S., or virtually no mainstream media outlets talk about Peak Oil? Is it because they can't? Not allowed? Afraid we can't handle it? Things that make you go hmmmm...
The Indy film, "The End of Suburbia" is an amazing little film. So is the old line, "Think Globally, Act Locally." In the case of Peak Oil, checking out Post Carbon Outpost on the post carbon website, might be something worthwhile, if you're interested.

PEAK OIL
www.postcarbon.org
www.peakoil.org
this are only two of some really, really great websites dedicated to the Reality of NO OIL REALITY.
Perhaps we everyday folks don't realize that our whole society is built on petroleum. Please, this is simply information to do with as you wish.
BUT DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. Don't take anyone else's word for anything. WordSpin and Hype live all about us. We drink it, we eat it, we drugged by it.
Peace. Let's be aware.

Do You Really Believe Oil is Forever???
Google the following places for more:
Peak Oil
Post Carbon Institute
or watch/listen to LINK TV - one of the best channels in/on TV today, and it's on streaming video also. It's viewer supported.
Never think that any network News does not have an agenda. Watch the Word Spin...do a little research and see who owns the TV station - then see who owns that owner...and so on and so forth...DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!
And if you're still reading books, know who the author really is...know for whom he/she works or is beholden to...DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!
Peace. Be the Awareness.

An editorial from Union-Tribune on Censoring Science
White House should not hide the facts
October 30, 2007
Although President Bush has every right to have his policy goals articulated by his appointees, recent reports of top scientists being censored by the administration are indeed troubling. Altering presentations does not alter reality.
The White House has a considerable record of charges that it attempted to edit or censor scientific information to conform with political goals. Among them:
Earlier this year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was accused of censoring experts on polar bears about the potentially harmful effects of climate change on the creatures.
Goddard Institute for Space Studies Director James Hansen said earlier this year that Bush administration officials had attempted to stop him from delivering a speech in which he urged prompt reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases.
As he was leaving his position as U.S. surgeon general, Dr. Richard Carmona testified before a House committee that the White House would not allow him to speak on aspects of stem cell research, comprehensive sex education, emergency contraception or other politically charged topics.
In 2003, Council on Environmental Quality Director Philip Cooney is said to have made more than 300 changes to an Environmental Protection Agency report on global warming, supposedly exaggerating uncertainties about global warming.
The latest example of questionable political involvement in matters of science involves Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Gerberding, a highly regarded infectious disease specialist, was set to deliver written testimony to a Senate panel on how climate change could effect the spread of disease.
Gerberding was prepared to present 12 pages of testimony to the committee, but after submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review, the testimony was reduced to six pages. Gone, among other statements, was one stating: “Populations in Midwestern and Northeastern cities are expected to experience more heat-related illnesses as heat waves increase in frequency, severity and duration.”
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters Gerberding's testimony was cut because, “in the draft there were broad characterizations about climate change that didn't align with the IPCC.” The IPCC is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which periodically issues reports on climate change research, including two this year. A number of scientists at UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography have been involved in drafting these reports. Further examination, however, revealed no inconsistencies between the IPCC report and Gerberding's speech.
At this point, more than 12,000 scientists have signed a statement criticizing the Bush administration for manipulating science. With the many public health challenges confronting the nation and the world, Americans have a need and a right to know the truth. All our lives could depend on it.
