Stop Global Warming With US DOD Planning

President Obama's national energy policies is founded upon decades of left Democratic political leadership's promotion of "renewable energy" waste, fraud, and corruption by promotion of wind, solar, ethanol, and carbon-cap-and-trade. President Obama and left Democratic political leadership has assured human races 2050-2055 destruction by ignoring global warming and by enacting shutdown of nuclear energy. It is critical that global warming temperature increase be corrected or it is assured that all human races die too soon.  

Tempus Fugit

There are only three modern anthropological avenues available that might alter the course global warming, environmental, and human events: ● Reduce and stop (extremely limit) using hydrocarbon energy (coal, oil, natural gas) ● Modify long-term land, groundwater, and sea use practices ● Limit or reduce long-term human population rate of growth. Only rapidly expanding nuclear energy may produce desired global warming results.  

Nuclear electrical energy is only energy source that is clean enough and has capacity to make a global warming difference. Majority of U.S. energy is derived from fossil fuels: in 2009, EIA data showed 37% of the nation's energy came from petroleum, 21% from coal, and 25% from natural gas. Carbon free nuclear power supplied 9% and 6.5% from hydroelectric dams. Energy demand sectors are: electric power 41%, transportation 28%, industrial 20%, and residential & commercial 11%. In 2010, the U.S. electricity generation was 4361 billion kWh gross, 46% of it from coal-fired plant, 23% from gas-fired, 19% nuclear, and 6.5% from hydroelectric.  

"Renewable energy" is politically popular since 1992: biomass, geothermal, solar, and wind. Hydropower and nuclear energy should not be lumped within extremely limited category of green renewable energy. Ethanol for automobiles (MTBE is to replace ethanol), municipal waste, and biomass burning are largest energy sources within green renewable energy category. Geothermal, solar, and wind produce only a "very small fraction of U.S. energy." A nation investing in geothermal, solar, and wind has no meaning. If in ten years a very small fraction of U.S. energy is tripled you still wind up with a very small fraction of U.S. energy. Nothing is gained by investing in renewable energy. On the other hand, had political systems invested in carbon free nuclear energy, electric energy capacity is increased, U.S. energy independence is improved, and a there is a reduction in global warming greenhouse gases.         

In 1960s, electric utilities kicked-off "Total Electric Living" advertising programs promoting all electric homes. For the past 50-years politicians should have supported nuclear energy sector to produce inexpensive clean electrical energy. It is inexpensive energy that make rich nations richer. Expensive energy keeps poor nations poor. Global Warming Era destroys all nations -- be they rich or poor.  

Only realistic global warming temperature reduction method available is to vastly increase nuclear electrical generation. Core global warming task is to reduce global energy share of coal, natural gas, and petroleum, to be replaced nationally and globally with hydrocarbon free nuclear and hydroelectric energy. Hydroelectric energy expansion is limited by available dam site locations.

Stresses of increased human populations; 250-years of increased hydrocarbon energy use; increased gross domestic product (GDP); and resulting increased global temperatures is evident. Most likely response projections over time include uncontrolled population growth; limited technology changes; limited changes in types of energy used; critical political decisions not made; extensive political corruption; delays; limited funding for effective clean nuclear energy; evil politicians; and several proposed impossible legislated changes to fundamental laws of physics by untoward politicians and surrogates. No politician has proposed changes to global warming business as usual politics, corruption, and payoffs. Global warming temperature increase concerns have been known by scientists since around 1960s. There are no known formed plans to alter course or impact of life terminating global warming temperature increase. Political global warming responses to date -- nil.

Over the coming next five years, least-cost global warming option is lowering global warming by steadily transforming global human hydrocarbon energy systems to clean nuclear energy; lower human/natural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; and then over time lower to zero human GHG emissions. Difficult to reduce are increasing Arctic Region natural methane levels that are ocean current temperature dependent and land surface-air temperature dependent. Arctic Region natural methane/carbon emissions form a reinforced positive feedback loop that is directly proportional to temperature.

Too many world leaders, national politicians, media, and hydrocarbon industries remain committed to continuing hydrocarbon energy dependence. Therefore, not done are necessary planned successful responses to global warming temperature increase that are essential, many, varied, and involve saving lives of more than 9 billion people. No nation has identified a viable organization to respond to countering global warming temperature increase.

Electricity demand is increasing twice as fast as overall energy use and is likely to rise 76% to 2030. Nuclear energy is the only existing and foreseeable technology that has enough molecular energy to convert to clean energy that might alter rate of global warming temperature increase. As always, it is politicians who are responsible for global warming outcome -- politicians just need to act upon best scientific response plans for saving human races.   

U.S. national and global energy policies are in long-term political disarray. Other than U.S. military and intelligence agencies, there is no apparent leadership or organizations that are capable of effectively planning what it takes to alter global warming temperature increase.  

Statements

"To meet U.S. projected demand over the next two decades, America must have in place between 1,300 and 1,900 new electric plants." "National Energy Policy, Report of National Energy Policy Development Group," May 2001.  

With 2009 "stimulus" monies of more than $90 billion earmarked for renewable energy, President Obama and left Democratic leadership promised funds would be invested in solar, wind, biodiesel, ethanol, and other alternatives to energy approaches. Alternative "green energies" have failed to produce any measurable long-term global warming benefits. Also supported was counterproductive European carbon cap-and-trade systems. President Obama promised that under his carbon cap-and-trade system, "electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." Over 48% of America's electricity comes from coal-powered plants. If somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can -- it is just that "clean coal, oil, or natural gas" (ie, carbon capture and storage) implementation bankrupts utility companies.

President Obama's approach to energy makes no sense, he phased out U.S. nuclear energy. Whatever left Democratic energy plans are, those plans are grossly inadequate: “We’re going to have to cap the [carbon] emission of greenhouse gasses. That means that power plants are going to have to adjust how they generate power … but a lot of us who can afford it are going to have to pay more per unit of electricity, and that means we’re going to have to change our light bulbs, we’re going to have to shut the lights off in our houses.” --Candidate Barack Obama, 
Iowa PBS interview, November 9, 2007.

Left Democrats' U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has regulated large carbon reductions. However, when laws of physics and economics are taken into account there is no possible way to meet EPA requirements.

Multiple global warming misstatements are blanketing internet and government information sites. To make it through elections the misinformation intent is to obfuscate and confuse public's reality of global warming. People want answers as to what is being done to address global warming.      

With turbulent times 1974 formation of U.S. Nuclear Energy Commission (NRC) nuclear energy became politically opposed. Since after 1992, everything that could be done has been done by left Democratic leadership, and later by President Obama, to delay, increase energy costs, and disrupt nuclear energy responses necessary to curb global warming temperature increase. "Renewable energy" was to be a solution, but green energy turned out to be special interest driven. Left Democratic systems have been positioning science and engineering as villains to social-program funding while left Democrats and Communists have dismantled U.S. and global ability to respond to global warming. It is science that saves human races.

Left Democratic 1990s to present Energy Activity

Left Democratic renewable energy system has identified nuclear energy as a "non renewable" energy energy source. This is ironic because all energy sources will be around longer than current projected lifespan of human races.

U.S. electricity use in 2010 was more than 13 times greater than electricity use in 1950. Historic growth of U.S. and global electricity has been fueled by use of hydrocarbon energy (coal, oil, natural gas) with more than four decades of stops placed upon nuclear energy expansions. Politicians (and therefore their political support groups) remain active opposing nuclear energy because politicians have been bribed not to support nuclear energy (bribery is a long established part of U.S. political systems). Congress and state politicians have made illegal fortunes supporting hydrocarbon energy over nuclear energy. For that reason and over time, to eliminate competition, hydrocarbon energy politicians increased costs of nuclear energy and introduced obstructing stops to nuclear energy implementation. Finally, left Democratic leadership phased out U.S. nuclear energy with President Obama's 2009 symbolic final chapter of phasing out U.S. nuclear energy and Yucca Mountain geologic nuclear repository. President Obama further reorganized and dismantled U.S. government nuclear energy departments (ie, Obama spiked his nuclear football).      

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) members remain instruments of politicians. Termination of U.S. nuclear energy began when Congress formed the NRC under Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (Act was a result of political self serving opportunities represented by anti Vietnam War protests and anti nuclear protests). Prior to political takeover of NRC, former U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) issued permits for construction of almost all U.S. nuclear facilities now in existence. NRC members have always been representatives for antinuclear and pro hydrocarbon corrupt political self interested movements. It is through NRC member activity that left Democratic political systems finally completed shutdown of global clean nuclear energy to make room for "renewable energy" waste, fraud, and corruption promotion of wind, solar, ethanol, and carbon cap-and-trade. Congress first legislated U.S. "green energy" push with Energy Policy Act (EPAct 1992) and later Acts.

By late 1990s, special interest politics took over structure of global warming technological reporting. UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports post 2001 improperly ignored methane as a important global warming gas and sliced-diced reports to add confusion and non viable options that obfuscated understanding global warming. IPCC documents now need revisions to present projected reality. There are only two case studies: greenhouse gas emissions "business as usual" and the case with changes to save human races.           

By 2003, increased political promotion of waste, fraud, corruption (while promoting wind, solar, green energy, ethanol, and carbon cap-and-trade) became the global warming response of left Democratic systems. President Obama spearheaded alternatives to energy and shutdown nuclear energy because it was popular.

STOP GLOBAL WARMING  

A perplexing issue with global warming is communicating the seriousness of global temperature increase. At current rate of hydrocarbon (coal, oil, natural gas) energy infrastructure buildup, Earth's 'global carbon budget' is exceeded about 2017. Critical 450 ppm carbon dioxide level is exceeded 2030-2040 (events happen very quickly after exceeding 450 ppm CO2 level).

Very large stores of Arctic Region ocean methane clathrate deposits have become unstable due to global temperature increases. Very large amounts of very powerful global warming methane is released. Climate scientists have identified that more methane clathrates in permafrost regions will be released as a result of global warming, unleashing powerful feedback forces, which cause runaway temperature increase climate change that cannot be controlled. East Siberian Arctic Shelf and other Arctic Ocean region research carried out in 2008 has shown many-many tonnes of powerful global warming methane being released with concentrations in some regions reaching up to 100 times above normal.

At 2010, greenhouse gas increased above natural pre industrial global warming concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is increased ~39% and powerful warming methane (CH4) concentration is increased ~164%. Rise of accumulated greenhouse gas 'global warming potential' is exponential.   

At historical trends of global warming greenhouse gas increase, human races termination from global warming is 2050-2099, but most likely termination is 2050-2055. Resulting from natural Arctic Region methane release and 250-years of human hydrocarbon emissions, expected remaining human races life span is zero-years to forty-years.    

To save all human races, combined 'global warming potentials' of human and natural greenhouse gas emissions must peak prior to 2020. The only way to peak global warming temperatures is peak global warming greenhouse gases. The only clean energy source having capacity to decrease human greenhouse gases is nuclear energy.  

Why it remains so hard to communicate this urgent life saving message to politicians and media is perplexing. Rather than accept solutions to global warming, President Obama attacks U.S. military budget and global intelligence agencies for political election reasons.

US DOD Global Warming Planning

U.S. national energy policies and global energy policies are in long-term political disarray and unable to meet needs of curbing global warming temperature increase. For now, other than U.S. military and intelligence agencies, there is no apparent leadership or organization existing, who are capable of planning what it takes to timely alter the rate of global warming. Existing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) membership is to be replaced by four senior military nuclear specialists and one presidential appointee. Revised scope of revised NRC membership is to include supervisions of U.S. 'Nuclear Fuel Cycle' and rapid expansion of U.S. nuclear energy. Global and U.S. plans for global warming reduction are to be produced by U.S. military and intelligence agencies with U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). Natural and human greenhouse gases are to peak by 2020 and decline thereafter.

The Global Warming Future

The future of global warming is grim. Stresses of increased populations, increased hydrocarbon energy use, increased gross domestic product (GDP), and resulting increased global temperatures is evident. Most probable response projections over time include uncontrolled population growth, limited technology changes, increased rates of energy use, critical political decisions not made, increases in national high-energy GDPs, limited funding for effective clean nuclear energy, limited hydrologic energy development, water resources under developed, and too often proposed by untoward politicians and surrogates are impossible legislated changes to fundamental laws of physics.

By 1866, resulting from the accumulations of a combination of natural and human greenhouse gases, global temperature increase produced a clear “thumbprint” of human impacts on climate change. Spaceship Earth control systems for continued human life is exceeded, human life ends too soon past 2050 CE. All theories about the Modern Global Warming Era that are to the contrary to this presentation, and are not based upon acceptable supporting evidence, are falsehoods.

Note that transitions between fundamentally different regional and global climates can occur within only decades. Politicians most significantly increased global warming gases from the 1980s forward, when powerful world leaders assured that use of nuclear energy would be reduced and coal, oil, and natural gas energy economies would increase. Later, President Obama and left progressive Democrats' nuclear energy policy is to completely discontinue nuclear energy in favor of coal energy (with some natural gas increase). Left Democrats are active in retaining the U.S. economy dependent upon coal energy, imported OPEC oil energy, Chinese economic loans, and printing U.S. money. Within U.S. and Germany, nuclear energy was politically phased out while the 1992 CE alternatives to energy diversions were developed to enable politicians and their special interests to appear responsive to "climate change." Politicians talk the talk of climate change, but their political walk is to retain huge trillion dollar investments within multinational global warming hydrocarbon economies (coal, oil, natural gas).

Global warming is on a political "business as usual" human hydrocarbon energy path and natural methane emissions path. For politicians global warming is a political game that is no more than a finding a way to keep their well paid jobs and win next elections. For human races, global warming is a life and death cause and effect response of the laws of physics.

Although politicians may have their way, Mother Nature has the last say. Politicians control national energies and human greenhouse gas emissions, but it is the laws of Mother Nature's physics that control global warming temperature increase. Positive atmospheric energy imbalance (measured in W/m2) increases global warming temperature that exceeds Earth’s capacity to sustain any of the lives of 9 billion people post 2050 CE.

If all human hydrocarbon emissions were to stop now, Earth's temperature will continue to rise from existing atmospheric excesses of global warming gases for more than 50-years. Since ambient 1750 CE introduction of the Industrial Age, Modern Global Warming concentrations of greenhouse gases has increased significantly. Greenhouse gas increased above natural global warming concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is increased ~39% and methane (CH4) concentration is increased ~164%. 1750 CE pre-industrial interglacial tropospheric concentration greenhouse concentrations levels was 280 ppm and methane peak level was 700 ppb. Current carbon dioxide concentrations levels are ~390 ppm and are for methane ~1,850 ppb.

It took 260 years of Industrial Age greenhouse gas accumulations to get where we are. The global warming course is set; changes will be difficult, costly, and need to be timely; the longer the mitigation implementations are delayed the more difficult it becomes to change; the rate-of-change of global warming temperature increase is accelerating.

For more than 40-years U.S. politicians have severely impeded the growth of clean nuclear. By the 1970s U.S. hydroelectric energy development was phased out, promoting continued use of coal energy. Construction within public water right-of-ways prevented expansion of hydroelectric power. In the U.S. we produce, close to 20 tons carbon per person primarily resulting from having a high GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP), a energy inefficient LIFESTYLE, and economic employment patterns. A French report in 2006 deemed that humanity must freeze its annual carbon emissions at 4-billion tons (to maintain a 450 ppm limit and +2 C Limit) or 0.6 tons for each of the planet's 6.8 billion people. The U.S. produces 20 tons carbon per person. Therefore, the U.S. is either producing 10x too much carbon  (according to earlier estimates) or 30x too much carbon (based on the French report). Either way the U.S. carbon footprint is causing a serious threat to continued human races survival past 2050 CE .

The Arctic Sea is warming faster resulting from warmer freshwater flow, trapping more solar heat instead of reflecting it back into space, since ice reflects about 90 per cent of the indecent solar radiation compared to the absorption of 60 per cent of solar radiation by an open ocean surface devoid of ice. Due to the Arctic Region positive warming feedback and methane hydrate-clathrate release, powerful global warming methane is becoming a more significant global warming force.   

Thanks to the abysmal and unforgivable failure of the world’s leadership, 20-years and 17 rounds of U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) "climate change" negotiations have failed to give full effect and deliver any fair, ambitious, and a binding GLOBAL WARMING deal for maintaining "climate" at a livable level. The fate of humanity is in the hands of political systems, multinational political machines, and Earth’s unyielding geophysical balance. Current "official" reporting reporting of global warming temperature increase leads to the destruction of the human races.   

A NASA study underscores the fact that greenhouse gases generated by human activity are the primary force driving global warming. Since the 1990s, Europe-U.S. politicians economically locked-in funding “alternative fuels renewable green energy,” eliminating nuclear energy, and retaining coal economies. China-India governments are also creating hydrocarbon “infrastructure lock-in.” Curbing global warming involves preventing 2017 CE “infrastructure lock-in” of the “carbon budget.” In 2030-2040 CE, unless there are changes, the 450 ppm carbon limit and +2 C Limit is exceeded.

Nuclear energy and hydrologic energies are the only energies with sufficient clean energy capacity to help curb global warming temperature increase. If greenhouse gas emissions do not plateau by 2020 CE and declines thereafter, a sequence of global temperature increase natural and human events occurs. These events must be reasonably identified and reported to formulate an effective global warming response plan.

It is necessary for the U.S. Congress to task U.S. military and U.S. intelligence agency resources to provide timely global warming assessments and projections and necessary global warming reduction planning to sustain and support human races existence past 2050-2099 CE (but more closely to 2050-2055 CE).   

Keep in mind that to prevent excessive global warming temperature increase involves global economies shifting from hydrocarbon economies (coal, oil, natural gas) to nuclear energy or the more limited hydroelectric energy, which involves trillions of dollars in economic exchanges. For that reason, implementing trillions of dollars of proper responses to global warming are politically unpopular, which introduces decades more delay to political responses. After delayed global warming responses are installed, Earth may respond decades later. Meanwhile, Mother Nature's environment and laws of physics responds with total disregard of politicians' reelection worries. Mother Nature's global warming mostly responds to global warming gas levels, and time.

Acts against humanity's survival are authorities ignoring or dismissing necessary timely implementation of corrections to global warming temperature-increase. Unless there are changes to human greenhouse gas emissions, all those who are not yet born, and those who are now children and young adults under the age of 30-years, shall soon die post 2050 CE, ending the 160 thousand year 'journey of mankind.'  

We live in a dynamic and changing world. Sometimes truth is more exciting and stranger than fiction. No nation maintains a viable organization or life support planning necessary to direct global warming changes. While politicians oppose information dissemination about global warming, very few scientist have access to valid global warming modeling with projections; there is no public access to valid global warming modeling. No nation has projected the cause and effects of global warming. No nation has proposed a plan or a process that is necessary to prevent many more centuries of global warming temperature increase. As it now stands, global warming temperature increase is a no win political "business as usual" scenario for human races.  

There may be solutions to the global warming temperature increase, we just have to identify and timely implement those solutions.

Road to Global Warming Hell Paved by Politicians With Bad Intentions

For almost four decades, nothing the U.S. Congress did reduced any global warming gases. There are no public U.S. technical reviews or milestones that evaluate global warming advances and projections, "renewable" energy performance, national energy policies, global temperature increase, impacts of global warming advancements, funding, cost of Nuclear Regulatory Commission policies, etc. All the planning and costs of "renewable" energy are political special interests frauds of hundreds of billions of dollars and denial that global warming temperature increase exists.

Global warming temperature increase is a response to atmospheric accumulations of human and natural carbon dioxide and methane emission since the 1750 CE start of the industrial revolution. The most important reason the world has not responded to to global warming is the result of the U.S. political machinery suppressing for more than 30-years the expansion of nuclear energy as a replacement energy for the U.S. carbon economy.    

Continued Political Support Drive Left Democrat Policies

Rather than loose election support from the political machine faithful, President Obama and left Democrat U.S. Senate are engaged in continuing to producing great economic harm to the U.S. economy. The same is true of reducing global warming temperature increase. Rather than taking steps to save the human races for 2050-2099 CE destruction; through obfuscation President Obama and left Democrat Senate have greatly reduced the probability of human survival from global warming.

Winning the November 2012 election means everything to progressive left Democrat neo communists. President Obama and Senate Democrats have held their election ground by not responding to core left Democrat systemic issues. When questioned, there are no responsible policy or performance rebuttals by Obama or Senators regarding unproductive policies. Left Democrats simply ignore all significant arguments. Democrat politicians dwell upon (or create) derisive issues rather than resolve troubling problems.    

During President Clinton January 1993-2001 administration the U.S. communist movement made great strides in organizing winning regional, state, and federal elections. Since the 1990s left Democrat block captains organized progressive groups for “grassroots” election turnouts. The Vietnam War Era U.S. student communists had over time previously established small but significant controls over universities and colleges. Vietnam War Era communist body is well established and remains to this day influential in neo communist politics.   

A huge amount of government funding within current federal and state government department accounts are “interdepartmental loaned” to other government departments for use by left Democrat neo-communist special interest projects (some say these “loans” are misappropriation of legislated funds). With left Democrats in power, balancing the books is more like juggling the books. There is no federal budget since 2009 because left Democrat Senate and President Obama move funds to support the communist agenda while denying non communist objectives. Without a federal budget President Obama has been given blank checks to run government. The left Democrat Congress is running the U.S. government with many trillions of dollars given to President Obama over the years by the self serving left Democrats within the U.S. Senate. At best, the political management of the lack of federal budget is fiscally disturbing and lacks accountability.   

President Obama is the regulator and controller of all Federal Government funds, there is little accountability for how trillions of government funds are spent. Left Democrats live in a world of limitless energy and money, with unaccountable performance and fiscal management at the heart of left Democrat communist politics.     

The drafting of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA 2009) (aka, “stimulus bill”) was done 2007-2009 CE by the left Democrat 111th Congress. The rationale for ARRA was from Keynesian macroeconomic theory which argues that, during recessions, the government should offset the decrease in private spending with an increase in public spending in order to save jobs and stop further economic deterioration.    

Keynesian Theory does not produce products. An economic theory that considered increasing national economy through production of tangible goods would be a theory of materialism. President Obama and left Democrat U.S. Senate are so deep into Keynesian Economic practice that they cannot now disengage from federal deficit spending. Left Democrat President Obama and U.S. Senators are caught in an infinite loop (or Möbius strip) of increasing federal spending and debt. If they step out of the loop, there is loss of left Democrat election support. The only solution to political infinite loop spending and debt is to not elect any more left Democrats.  

Left Democrats drafted ARRA 2009 in support of radical neo-communist election campaigns. Communist election campaigns are standard practice in Europe. It is just that the U.S. spends billions of dollars upon their elections, which makes the U.S. a unique demagoguery whose elected representatives buy their way into power with the aid of expensive political machinery.

President Obama is a product of a U.S. communist education and progressive “grassroots” community organizing for the Chicago left political machinery. With strong communist organization and union backing, the left Democrats wiped out the Republicans in the November 2008 elections. Since it was originally formed 1993-2001 the left Democrats’ election machines remain intact (never broken up after elections). Communist left Democrats retain a formidable election force because its system for elections is experienced, has a successful track record, has processed billions of elections dollars to buy support, rewards those who obey the commands, has no moral scruples, and has spent trillions of government dollars to promote their candidate causes. The left Democrat election machinery only cares about winning elections, nothing else matters.

History has shown that whatever the left Democrats communists are doing, it will not work in the long-run, and will end in massive failures.   

Global Warming Progresses                

There are only two sources of clean energy that might curb enough global warming to save the human races: nuclear reactor energy and hydroelectric energy.

In 1992, left Democrat neo communist movement started government investments in “renewable” alternative energies that are still popular with the European-US neo communists. The beginning supporting argument for promoting “renewable” energy was to address the need to reduce carbon dioxide gas and curb global warming temperature increase. What occurred was congressional politicians ignored global efforts to reduce global warming temperature increase and covertly promoted continued expansion of hydrocarbon economies (coal, oil, natural gas). Renewable energy was/is used as a public diversion topic and renewable green energy became a vehicle for political graft, corruption, and waste.  

President Obama and the left Democrat neo communists are now caught up in failed European-U.S. economic programs and fundamentally failed “renewable” energy corruption so great that they cannot retreat from U.S. economic destruction and global temperature increases. The self serving neo communist politicians are welded to 1990s U.S. left Democrat congressional energy policies.

The human races are now stuck within Spaceship Earth in a political molasses-like-downward-spiral to its final destruction of human races 2050-2099 CE.     

The intentions of U.S. left Democrat neo communists is to increase control over national means of production and economies by owning the “renewable” energy sector, eliminate nuclear energy, and have the government regulate carbon energy production for regional political districts’ of coal, oil, natural gas. The U.S. capability and capacity of nuclear energy to produce necessary clean energy to reduce temperature increase has been eliminated over the last four decades by untoward powerful Congress members. Clean hydroelectric expansion has been unable to expand over the last four decades.    

For more than two decades, the Democrat’s political funding and management of multinational “renewable” energy has promoted greed, fraud, lies, waste, and global warming destruction. Joining of European-US neo communist leadership produced effective political control of decades of many trillions of dollars of European-US hydrocarbon energy. While U.S. politicians stopped clean energy nuclear growth for more than three-decades, the German politicians went farther and legislated all nuclear energy shutdown by 2023 CE. German and U.S. politicians alone now consume enough hydrocarbon energy to assure destruction of the human races 2050-2099 CE.   

U.S. Energy Policy Act of 1992

After more than 20-years of global warming failure, the left Democrats still retain the same counter productive energy policies of EPAct 1992. Congress repeatedly passed the same alternative renewable energy topics in 1992, 2005, and 2009.

There has never been a U.S. political attempt to save the lives of 9 billion people.

The U.S. left Democrats and Republicans promoted the U.S. Energy Policy Act (EPAct 1992) to avoid (or distract from) necessary reductions of global and U.S. greenhouse gases. The politicians remain determined to keep their districts producing coal, oil, natural gas, and keep the U.S. economy dependent upon a carbon economy. EPAct 1992 formed the core “renewable energy” topics used over the last two decades to deflect the global need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.   

Since the EPAct 1992 under President Clinton, Vice President Gore, and Democrat Congress, the U.S. left Democrats addressed energy efficiency, energy conservation and energy management (Title I), natural gas imports and exports (Title II), alternative fuels and requiring certain fleets to acquire alternative fuel vehicles, which are capable of operating on non-petroleum fuels (Title III-V), electric motor vehicles (Title VI), radioactive waste, coal power and clean coal (Title XIII), renewable energy, and other issues. It reformed the Public Utility Holding Company Act and amended parts of the Federal Power Act of 1935 (Title VII).

Title III of the EPAct 1992 addresses “alternative fuels” (ethanol, propane, and electricity, in cars and light trucks). It gave the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) administrative power to regulate the minimum number of light duty alternative fuel vehicles acquired in certain federal fleets beginning in fiscal year 1993. Major amendments to the EPAct 1992 are the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in 1989 established a new licensing process: 10 CFR Part 52. Congress affirmed and strengthened the new licensing process as part of the Energy Policy Act (EPAct 1992). To politically suppress nuclear energy and increase U.S. hydrocarbon energy production, congressional politicians unnecessary increased the costs of building new nuclear energy on the pretext of nuclear "safety" regulations imposed by the politicians and lawyers of the NRC. Nuclear politics of Congress and the NRC members have contributed greatly to increasing U.S. global warming greenhouse gas emissions.      

Among many changes the EPAct 1992 effectively deregulated electric utilities, created energy mandates, and in Section 801 directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promulgate radiation protection standards for the DOE’s Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository. In 2009, President Obama and congressional political machinery took over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) membership and also shut down the completed Yucca Mountain geologic nuclear repository to add to preventing further nuclear development. The EPAct 1992 directed the federal government to decrease energy consumption in federal buildings when feasible, and to integrate the use of alternative fuel vehicles in federal and state fleets. Title XXII in the EPAct 1992 authorized tax incentives and marketing strategies for renewable energy technologies in an effort to encourage commercial sales and production. The untoward Congress members have held fast to the the same unproductive energy policies since 1992, for more than two decades. There have been no reductions of U.S. global warming greenhouse gases resulting from any U.S. energy act.  

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has not identified how much the EPAct 1992 reduced U.S. global warming gas emissions. It is the U.S. self serving congressional members for MORE THAN the last two decades who have created the downfall of human races by repeating the same failed political energy process for more than 20-years.

U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005

The Energy Policy Act (EPAct 2005) is a bill passed by U.S. Congress Republicans and Democrats on July 29, 2005. The act, described by proponents as an attempt to combat growing (undefined) energy problems, changed U.S. energy policy by providing tax incentives and loan guarantees for energy production of various types of alternative renewable green energy, and increased required corn ethanol. The Act is Republican and is less renewable energy aggressive, but did not result in any U.S. reduction in global warming gases.  

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) review of the conference version of the 2005 bill estimated the EPAct 2005 would increase direct spending by $2.2 billion over the 2006-2010 periods and by $1.6 billion over the 2006-2015 periods. In addition, the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that the legislation would reduce revenues by $7.9 billion over the 2005-2010 periods and by $12.3 billion over the 2005-2015 periods. Total revenue reduction and spending is $16.1 billion. The CBO noted that the bill could have additional effects on discretionary spending, but did not attempt to estimate those effects. Major amendments to EPAct 2005 are the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The CBO has not identified how much the EPAct 2005 reduced U.S. global warming gas emissions.  

U.S. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA 2009) and passed by President Obama and left Democrat House and Senate, is commonly referred to as the $850 billion “Stimulus” or “The Recovery Act” that is an economic stimulus package enacted by the United States Congress in February 2009. Drafting of the bill was done 2007-2008 CE.

Some ARRA Energy Project Background Information   

There is no accounting for state level spending of ARRA (2009) monies.

The White House has said ARRA (2009) contained $90 billion in renewable alternative green energy funds. Wikipedia lists $48.7 billion of ARRA (2009) alternatives to energy; $27.2 billion energy efficiency, renewable energy research, and investments and total $21.5 billion for energy infrastructure.  

U.S. neo communists funded $27.2 billion into useless green renewable energy while U.S. strategic need for scientific research only received a total of $7.6 billion. As with the trillions of dollars, there is no fiscal or performance government accountability of alternative renewable green energy. Like many of the left Democrat communist programs, a stimulus check around $850 billion was given to President Obama by the Democrat House and Senate; there has been little accountability of money spent by left Democrat neo communists. President Obama spends government funds as he wants to.       

The left Democrat neo communists have disdain for sciences and engineering (sometimes scientific conclusion are directly opposite of political policies, therefor sciences are suppressed). The Democrat’s communist agenda freely uses other people’s money unhindered by facts or logic or science. Left Democrat politicians funding of school sciences and hard sciences is undesirable for neo communists because science programs draw funds away for social programs. America has no science or education future while neo-communists Senators and President remain in political offices.     

The costs of the U.S. "renewable green" programs are huge. There have been no programmed reduction of global warming temperature increase.

Left Democrat neo communist energy WAST, FRAUD, and CORRUPTION of “loans,” “grants,” and “investments” into green alternative to energy are a significant part of the final American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. It takes a huge amount of taxpayer funding and debt to satisfy this neo communist political base.

As a diversion to the real problem of global warming temperature increase, President Obama and other neo communists have invested in a social program called “renewable energy.”     

The Department of Energy states that President Obama’s goal is to generate 80% of our U.S. electricity from “renewable” energy by 2035.  It is an impossible goal. By 2035, global warming temperature exceeds +2oC above preindustrial temperatures, atmospheric carbon exceeds 450 ppm, the global carbon budget exceeding-infrastructure was “locked-in” in 2017 CE, and with a temperature rise to exceed +5 oC; there is no hope for human races 2050-2099 CE survival.  

2009 CE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH AND INVESTMENT, Total: $27.2 billion

NOTE: All of the technologies below are old technologies that are in limited use or have previously proposed and rejected over the past 100 years.  If there were any greater technologies here, capitalism would have already been using the energy technology and making it better. Although funding for below items have been on the books since 1992, none of the below have produced significant reductions in U.S. greenhouse gases.    

● $6 billion for renewable energy and electric transmission technologies loan guarantees for solar, wind, and “smart national grid.”  Smart national grid does not work.   
● $5 billion for weatherizing modest-income homes
● $3.4 billion for carbon capture and low emission coal research
● $3.2 billion toward Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants
● $3.1 billion for the State Energy Program to help states invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy
● $2 billion for manufacturing of advanced car battery (traction) systems and components
● $800 million for biofuel research, development, and demonstration projects
● $602 million to support the use of energy efficient technologies in building and in industry
● $500 million for training of green-collar workers (by the Department of Labor)
● $400 million for the Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP).  Cost of megawatt of Neal Hot Springs geothermal is two to three times more than natural gas electricity.  
● $400 million for electric vehicle technologies
● $300 million for energy efficient appliance rebates
● $300 million for state and local governments to purchase energy efficient vehicles
● $300 million to acquire electric vehicles for the federal vehicle fleet (GSA)
● $250 million to increase energy efficiency in low-income housing
● $204 million in funding for research and testing facilities at national laboratories
● $190 million in funding for wind, hydro, and other renewable energy projects
● $115 million to develop and deploy solar power technologies.  Solyndra is a bankrupt $535-million solar panel manufacturer.  There will be more government failed “green energy” businesses.
● $110 million for the development of high efficiency vehicles
● $42 million in support of new deployments of fuel cell technologies

2009 CE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE, Total: $21.5 billion

● $6 billion for the cleanup of radioactive waste (mostly nuclear weapons production sites) IF “NUCLEAR WEAPONS CLEANUP” WAS EVER NEEDED IT IS NOW NO LONGER NEEDED – THIS IS PORK BARREL FUNDING WASTE
● $4.5 billion is allotted to the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE).  As outlined in the legislation, these funds are provided as “investment in a nationwide plan to modernize the electric grid, enhance security of U.S. energy infrastructure, and ensure reliable electricity delivery to meet growing demand” and build Obama’s smart national grid.  The OE is a new private/government Regional Entity responsible for coordinating and promoting bulk electric system reliability in the Western Interconnection.  Western Interconnection Synchrophasor Program (WISP or DOE NASPI) includes Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) and involves 18 partners.  THE SYNCHROPHASOR “SMART GRID” PROGRAM APPLICATION FOR CONNECTING SOLAR AND WIND FARMS TO BASE LOAD GRID HAS NEVER WORKED LARGE SCALE.  Before funding billions of dollars get the electrical systems working to specifications. If the system does not work, do provide funds to build it larger.
   Expanding high voltage transmission lines is designed to expand Mid West coal electrical electrical production and transport the carbon energy via high voltage lines to the Pacific Coast.  
● $3.25 billion for the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) for power transmission system upgrades is PORK BARREL FUNDING.  WAPA appears to be a private/government funding administrator of federal funds for under defined political projects. Expanding high voltage transmission lines is designed to expand coal electrical electrical production and transport the carbon energy to the Pacific Coast.    
● $3.25 billion for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) for power transmission system (smart western grid) upgrades PORK BARREL FUNDING.  Congress created BPA in 1937 to deliver and sell the power from Bonneville Dam, Oregon. Expanding high voltage transmission lines is designed to expand coal electrical electrical production and transport the carbon energy to the Pacific Coast.
● $4.5 billion to increase energy efficiency in federal buildings (GSA) LOW OR NO GLOBAL WARMING RETURN ON INVESTMENT

The CBO has not identified how much the ARRA (2009) reduced U.S. global warming gas emissions.

Politics to The End

For more than two decades alternative renewable green energy has been used by politicians to deflect necessary national shifts from hydrocarbon economies of coal, oil, and natural gas. For more than four decades congressional politicians have suppressed new nuclear development to increase use of hydrocarbon energy from congressional voter districts. The only economies that might permit survival of human races past 2050-2099 CE are the nuclear and hydroelectric economies.

When confronted with the review of global warming temperature, President Obama does nothing to correct the deadly results. Left Democrat U.S. Senators follow President Obama’s election lead and are also non responsive. Political greed, fraud, corruption, and untoward policies no longer matter for the Washington political machine. The politicians will delay global warming responses until people in the U.S. are frying eggs in the streets from global warming temperature increase. However, because of carbon-budget infrastructure lock-in, by 2017 CE there will be no need to respond to global warming -- energy responses will be too late to save anyone.  

Total U.S. energy: nuclear electric is 8%, conventional hydroelectric power 2.7%, coal 23%, natural gas 23%, and petroleum 40%. Nuclear energy produces about 20% of U.S. electrical energy. The core global warming task is to reduce global energy share of coal, natural gas, and petroleum, to be replaced with hydrocarbon free nuclear and hydroelectric energy.

The price of correcting global warming temperature increase is high. The price of not doing so is much greater.  

Unless there is change, all those who are not yet born, and those who are now children and young adults under the age of 30-years, shall die 2050-2099 CE (more like 2050-2055 CE), ending the 160 thousand year journey of mankind.

Global Warming - 2009-2010 Washington DC

The European-U.S. years of “renewable alternative green energy” drive was further enabled by withholding permitting for U.S. expansion of nuclear energy and Germany leadership shutdown of its nuclear energy facilities. U.S. politicians, insiders, special interests, and global criminals all had/have access to U.S. renewable green energy funding; specifically, renewable energy political corruption of renewable green energy funding under US$ 90 billions of the $850 billion ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’ (ARRA 2009).  

Added to the problems of political promotion of renewable energy crime, corruption, and special interests is the decades of information suppressed regarding the direct 260-year impact of both human and natural carbon dioxide emissions and direct impact of natural methane emissions. Arctic Region methane and carbon dioxide emissions have been increasing since 1750 CE to the point of noticeable human induced global warming impact. The combination of natural and human greenhouse gas accumulations influences global temperature increase produces a clear “thumbprint” of human impacts on climate change. A positive temperature regenerative feedback loop was and continues to be established within Arctic Region methane. Coincidentally the global carbon budget is reaching a 2017 CE saturation point. Unless there is a quick and effective political response to combined atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and methane, there result a global warming temperature increase that terminates human life 2050-2099 CE.     

White collar political criminal activity has a long history within the U.S. Its activity rises and falls with political supplies of legislated funding. To one degree or another politicians are aware of political corrupting of the legislation system, but turn away from correcting (or reporting) criminal activity. Because government white collar crimes are part of political systems, prostitution for internal sponsored political fraud is difficult. For politicians it is better to sleep with criminals than it is act against self interests or come out and act for the best interests of humanity.  

Renewable green energy is about US$ 90 billions within the ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’ (ARRA 2009). Renewable energy legislated “Stimulus” is systemically flawed; criminal monies are non recoverable; funding is (mostly) legally legislated and processed. Political white collar crime has been around longer than U.S. criminal mafia activity, and before the 1980s rise of the U.S. illegal drug industry. U.S. illegal drug industry is backed by drug cartels and has U.S. political support. Concealment and billions of dollars in money laundering of political white collar crime uses similar procedures as used by organized crime: front companies, legal companies, international trading, bank transfers, poor/fraudulent contracting, kickbacks, over charging, collusion, redundant funding, systems of government non accountability, etc. Multinational carbon cap-and-trade markets are trading paper, which requires that the whole political European-U.S. system of renewable green energy to be investigated.      

Since the 1990s, wind, solar, geothermal, and alcohol fuels (corn ethanol) are developed as corruption schemes for politicians to channel US$ 100s of billions dollars government money to special interests while controlling political special interest US$ trillions within national hydrocarbon economies. The pretext is that renewable energy investments are a solution to global warming temperature increase. For more than three decades the pretext for not building nuclear facilities is that nuclear facilities are “unsafe.” The reality is green energy, hydrocarbon energy, and political special interests destroyed human races while nuclear energy could save human races.  

U.S. Global Warming Foundation Legislation

UN’s ‘Earth Summit’ formed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992. The UN Kyoto Protocol is an agreement of UNFCCC. Significant U.S. legislated with presumed support of the 1992 UN Earth Summit: U.S. ‘Energy Policy Act’ (1992), ‘Energy Policy Act’ (2005), and ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’ (ARRA 2009).

Example of Direct and Indirect Energy Funding Impacts  

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) review of the conference version of the 2005 bill estimated the ‘Energy Policy Act’ would “increase direct spending” by $2.2 billion over the 2006-2010 periods and by $1.6 billion over the 2006-2015 periods. In addition, the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that the legislation would “reduce revenues” by $7.9 billion over the 2005-2010 periods and by $12.3 billion over the 2005-2015 periods.  Energy Policy Act total direct and indirect costs are many billions. The CBO noted that the bill could have “additional effects on discretionary spending,” but did not attempt to estimate those effects. That was for a Congressional relatively small budget bill compared to the mother of funding bills, the ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’ (ARRA 2009).     

Some ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’ (ARRA) 2009 Renewable Green Energy Examples of Concern

The act, described by proponents as an attempt to combat growing (undefined) energy problems, changed US energy policy by providing tax incentives and loan guarantees for energy production of various non standard types. The rationale for ARRA was from Keynesian macroeconomic theory which argues that, during recessions, the government should offset the decrease in private spending with an increase in public spending in order to save jobs and stop further economic deterioration. In the case of Keynesian-global-warming, U.S. legislation transferred wealth without producing a product that can decrease the global temperature increase.     

● $6 billion for renewable energy and electric transmission technologies loan guarantees for solar, wind, and “smart national grid.”
● $6 billion for the cleanup of radioactive waste (mostly nuclear weapons production sites). This $6 billion useless spending and is a promotion of anti nuclear corruption and payoffs to PORK BARREL political special interests.
● $4.5 billion to the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) as outlined in the legislation.
● $4.5 billion to increase energy efficiency in federal buildings (GSA)
● $3.25 billion for the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) for power transmission system “smart grid.” Political power transition is intended to expand the hydrocarbon industry.  
● $3.25 billion for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) for power transmission system (smart SYNCHROPHASOR western grid)
● $3.4 billion for carbon capture and low emission coal research
● $3.2 billion toward Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants
● $3.1 billion for the State Energy Program to help states invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
● $2 billion funding for manufacturing of advanced car battery-traction systems and components.
● $800 million funding for biofuel research, development, and demonstration projects
● $602 million is to support the use of energy efficient technologies in buildings and within industry.
● $400 million funding for the Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP)
● $400 million for electric vehicle technologies
● $300 million for state and local governments to purchase energy efficient vehicles
● $300 million to acquire electric vehicles for the federal vehicle fleet (GSA)
● $204 million is insignificant funding for research and testing facilities at the well managed U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratories and Technology Centers.
● $190 million in funding for wind, hydro, and other renewable energy projects
● $115 million is part of billions of dollars to develop and deploy solar power technologies in the solar panel industry.
● $110 million is for the development of high efficiency vehicles.

The 2009 CE left Democrat Congress legislated ARRA 2009 as a blank check to be filled in by President Obama. There is to be an in depth accounting of the more than US$ 90 billion 2009-2010 CE global warming renewable energy expenditures and performance.    

Tempus Fugit

Left Democrat administration continues to tinker with government departments’ data and the reporting of national energy and global warming. All U.S. federal government data and reporting are now considered unreliable. Much of university and college global warming R&D is controlled by left Democrats through control of state and federal government grants and funding. Colleges, universities, and government departments’ reporting is considered unreliable when it comes to left Democrat foundation topics and social history. The Internet has and is being falsified to favor the causes of left Democrats. Internet attacks are mounted against individuals whose expressed options that conflict with established political funding procedures. Media corporations are extremely politically biased, oriented to presenting the public with unrealistic biased views. A significant amount of left Democrat smoke and mirrors political misdirections has been directed at building up U.S. special interest funding for expanding “renewable alternative green energy.”  In effect, since the early 1990s, left Democrat leadership are the cause of delaying real global warming responses.        

With the exception of expanding nuclear power, all other U.S. national energy proposals and policies are NOT viable. U.S. and global energy policies simply do not reflect real clean energy needs and real energy growth demands. Life-cycle process of all human energies (except nuclear energy and hydroelectric) emit large amounts of human carbon dioxide and natural methane.  

Since first global warming awareness of the 1960s, a great deal of necessary response time has passed, but there is still hope for changes to global warming temperature increase. Politicians just have to soon find the time and funding to alter established global warming course of events.
