Since he eats kosher it's probably easier and less complex being vegetarian. There are not enough hours in the day for me to be either.

OIL in N Dakota!!! Time to Keep it out of the private sector.
by sammielee24 ini guess they've found a whole whack of oil in n dakota, largest in the country - now what to do with it.
keep it out of the hands of the oil companies for sure and you have to wonder if it wouldn't be a wise decision by the state to sit back and evaluate it for it's worth.
if they keep it as state owned, they can use their own state bank to fund the development and then build their own refineries - sell the product to the other states and that could easily dissolve the imports from saudi arabia and the middle east.

Sounds great to me!
It's a multipronged problem with so much at stake. I won't be holding my breath waiting for cooler heads to prevail on this one.

What about all the environmental groups that would block the construction in court? If they would do it to a solar power company in California they most certainly would go after an oil refinery.

Still have to be able to convert it to gas. The US also has vast tar sands and oil shale deposits that yet to be touched. Canada can refine them profitably after going through permafrost. In the US it's right out in the dry desert in a non-ecosensitive area.

"We can’t make more gas.
Even if we suddenly discovered a 500 year domestic supply of oil it wouldn’t do anything to increase the availability of gasoline. Twenty years ago our refineries were operating at 60-70% of capacity. Today they’re operating at 100% capacity. We haven’t built a new refinery in thirty years and the difficulty of permitting a new refinery or upgrading existing refineries and the deluge of lawsuits from environmental groups that would accompany any such effort make it unlikely that any oil company will attempt to build a new refinery.
Umpteen different gasoline blends.
A minimum of 18 different blends of gasoline must be produced at any given moment. Blends not only differ from region to region, but from summer to winter. Gas made in Texas cannot be used in Oregon. This is why you see gas prices spike in an area when a refinery experiences even a brief shutdown. The establishment of one federal standard for gasoline would have a small impact on overall retail prices, but would do a lot to even out price spikes due to regional shortages."There is also the NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) problem to contend.with. Refineries have to be built close to water for tanker ships to reach them or else very expensive pipelines also have to be built. Nobody wants a huge eyesore built anywhere close to there expensive waterfront property and have there property values go down.

Considering that there has not been a refinery built in the US in over thirty years new discoveries are not going to do a bit of good.

It was several years ago but such a rediculous caller that Medved started laughing and could not stop.

Anyone here into vegetarianism?
by DazedAndConfused inthis trying to become somewhat of a vegetarian is hard.
i can look up anything on the net and find out how to do anything, including how to make a devastating nail bomb to making ricine (sp) to kill people but i can't seem to find out the nutritional values a person needs.. what i worry about most is the protein that we need on a daily basis.
right now i am eating everything that has the highest content of protein i can find in the cupboard.. i am not trying to go vegetarian because of peta, although i have watched the video's (eeeeewwwww).

That had to have been someone from Seattle. Probably the same person that calld in said that animals learned to kill and eat meat from people. That was on Michael Medved's show. I'll never forget that one.
