New report: ‘Biofuel’ industry outpaces
oil refineries for pollution, by large margins

Original Article

Posted By: DVC, 6/14/2024 1:02:14 PM

The Environmental Integrity Project just published the results of a new study, which reportedly found that the “biofuel” industry pollutes the air just as much as, and oftentimes more than traditional oil refineries, putting out a “significantly” higher amount of particular “dangerous pollutants” not limited to but including, formaldehyde. Isn’t that just swell, “they’re” giving us cancer while embalming us in real time—yes, this is the “clean” and “green” future under “their” tutelage. Here are the details, from a new report by Ari Phillips of Oil & Gas Watch, the online publication for the EIP, out just yesterday: Report: Jet-powered biofuel is weighed down by pollution and loopholes

Comments:

And biofuels cause more toxic pollution than oil refineries. "Sustainable" jet fuel isn't....
Windmills kill millions of birds, and the blades must be replaced every few years and cannot be recycled, just filling landfills.
Solar farms require chopping down huge quantities of desert Joshua trees.
Save us from the EcoCrazies, they are destroying the planet "to save it".

Just label something "environmentally friendly" and everyone stops asking questions. Does it really provide equivalent energy? Is it financially viable? Are there any negative effects? No one, especially the dopey Greens or Politicians that force it on us want to know. Then, out sneak the answers. It doesn't provide as much energy. Its costs are prohibitive and therefore not practical. There are massive toxic and environmental side effects. The process doesn't scale, i.e. you cannot possibly produce enough to supplant fossil fuels. The whole idea is a fairy tale, which critics suspected from the beginning and only politicians trying to buy votes would embrace such a stupid idea. .

Minnesota Gov. Walz bans police training

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, also known as the New World’s Pravda, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has signed a law prohibiting training for licensed police officers on “excited delirium.” You may well be asking yourself, “Say what?” Star Tribune: “Excited delirium usually refers to a person possessed by a potentially deadly form of agitation, sometimes abetted by drug abuse, and displaying aggressive behavior, profuse sweating, public nudity, mouth foaming and superhuman strength.” Well, just because a perp is on drugs, foaming at the mouth, possibly nude, displaying aggressive behavior and deadly agitation while exhibiting superhuman strength, that’s no reason for law enforcement personnel to use force against that person!

Farmers from across Europe took to their tractors again, swarming Brussels and blockading the border between France and Spain to firmly plant their opposition to the globalist Green Deal agenda in the minds of voters as they head to the polls for the European Parliament elections this week. “Farmers of the world, unite!” was the slogan as tractors shut down the Franco-Spanish border on both sides of the Pyrenees starting on Monday, according to Le Figaro, which reported that around 200 to 300 French farmers joined the protest which blocked at least seven crossings before disbanding on Tuesday.

An election candidate in Germany was stabbed in the head and stomach on Tuesday night after confronting a gang of men tearing down election posters, the second stabbing of a right winger in a single German city in four days. 62-year-old Alternative for Germany (AfD) council election candidate Heinrich Koch was stabbed in Mannheim on Tuesday. German newspaper Die Welt reports the right-wing campaigner was cut on the ear and stomach by the assailant and was taken to the hospital. The injuries are not life threatening but required stitches.

A team of “high-powered NASA scientists” has just stumbled upon a very inconvenient truth, and no, I don’t mean that they’ve found new evidence to support the Al Gore fear porn flick, but instead, they’ve discovered that 80% of “global warming” in the last ten years has not been caused by man’s use of natural renewable resources like gas and oil, but “draconian fuel shipping regulations” ostensibly “designed to help prevent global warming.” [snip] NASA scientists that suggest most of the recent global temperature increases are due to the introduction of draconian fuel shipping regulations designed to help prevent global warming.

The Queensland government recently placed a ban on pumping and dumping carbon dioxide into the rocks of the Great Artesian Basin. This was an event rarely seen -- politicians stumbling onto a sensible energy policy. Burying CO2 would achieve nothing useful -- just more futile green waste. But their ban on Carbon Capture and Underground Storage (CCUS) should be extended to all areas of Queensland, not just this one basin. Even the blinkered Greens and the TikTok generation should recognize that today’s low levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are too close to the red line of death, where all plant life will die (followed by animal life).

A difficult concept to explain to ordinary people is that some people and some ideas are unadulterated evil, not just in their implementation but in their conception. Most of us are unfamiliar with evil because we spend much time and effort staying as far away as possible. There’s also an impulse to humanize others. Many want to believe the best in people and trivialize or gloss over readily observable behaviors that might lead to seeing a person as evil. People misinterpret evil acts as separate and apart from having an evil soul. Hitler is a perfect example of pure evil despite a superficial handful of humanizing qualities.

Jack Cashill’s Ashli: The Untold Story of the Women of January 6 could not be more timely. On the cover is a photo of Ms. Ashli Babbitt, a petite 14-year Air Force veteran with multiple deployments to war zones under her belt. Unarmed when she entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Babbitt was shot and killed without warning by Michael Byrd of the US Capitol Police. As is his custom, Mr. Cashill focuses on the story of the people involved. In Ashli, he provides a compelling narrative of ten female J6ers, Ashli among them.

Yesterday’s vile travesty of justice, where President Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies, caused history of the dubious kind in America. Many in the mainstream media, which is the PR wing for the Democrats, gloated over the fact that Trump became the first president in American history to be criminally convicted. Since history is being mentioned, let’s look at another kind of history. The history of net worths of past presidents both before and after completing their tenure as president. Let’s begin with President Jimmy Carter: when he was sworn in, his net worth was $2.3 million. However, in current times his net worth is $10 million

The National Institutes of Health is taking action so that in case Donald Trump wins in November, it will be a lot harder for scientists at NIH to be punished for their misdeeds, according to Politico. Per the 41-page draft of NIH’s new “Scientific Integrity Policy” (call it SIP), a Scientific Integrity Council (call it SIC) will be created. [snip] the SIC would protect even knowingly false information it likes. Illegal gain-of-function research caused the lab leak that wreaked havoc and destruction on the world?

“We’re facing an unfunded, $1 trillion mandate that carries enormous consequences for the American consumer.” At least that’s what Chris Spear, American Trucking Associations President and CEO has to say about one D.C. diktat coming down from on high in particular, and that is the one mandating that the American trucking industry bend to EPA rules requiring all electric fleets and production lines. Here’s the context, from March of this year: On March 29, 2024, Good Friday, Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rolled out its new electric truck mandate, which will require that electric semi-trucks make up an increasing share of manufacturer sales from 2027 through 2032

The U.S. House of Representatives has recently passed an amendment as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025. The amendment H.R. 8070 will automatically register all draft-age male U.S. residents with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft, based on information from other Federal databases. This new system of automatic draft registration would replace the existing system, in place since 1980, in which young men have the freedom to decide whether or not to sign up for the draft. According to People’s World, the automatic draft registration proposal was initiated by the Selective Service System (SSS) as part of its annual budget request to Congress.

Nancy Pelosi is losing it. The former Democrat Speaker of the House is the walking personification of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Her hatred for the former (and likely next) president burns white-hot, as evidenced by her petulant, childish, immature, and unbecoming incident in which she tore up her copy of President Trump's 2020 State of the Union speech. Now, she's just becoming pathetic, as we see in her recent interview with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, where she begged the Trump family and the GOP to "stage an intervention" to prevent Trump from running. Why? Probably because she can see that he's winning.

Democrats plan to disrupt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a special joint session of Congress on July 24 in an unprecedented show of hostility to the democratically-elected leader of a close American ally. 56 Democrats boycotted Netanyahu’s speech in 2015, when Republicans invited him to argue against then-President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. This time, Axios reports, “Democrats plan to go bigger than a boycott”: The proposals include a press conference, a vigil, or an event with families of those taken hostage by Hamas, many of whom feel Netanyahu hasn’t done enough to free their loved ones. In a sign of how extensive and high-level some of these discussions are,

The Justice Department said Friday it will not prosecute Merrick Garland on contempt-of-Congress charges, two days after House Republicans voted to hold the attorney general in contempt for refusing to turn over the audio from President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. The DOJ said Friday the refusal to provide the audio did not amount to a crime. House lawmakers voted 216–207 on the Garland contempt resolution on Wednesday, with one Republican representative, Dave Joyce of Ohio, joining Democrats in voting against it. Eight members did not vote on the measure.

The Los Angeles City Council has decided to remove ‘No U-Turn’ signs from a gay neighborhood, claiming they’re homophobic. In an era where ideologies should be advancing, it’s baffling that the far-left remains stuck in the past, misreading everyday symbols as politicized messages. Who, in the year 2024, still believes that road signs like “No U-Turn” are covert directives aimed at the LGBTQ+ community, instructing them not to engage in wild sex in the streets? I didn’t know that traffic signs were hurting feelings. According to the LA Times: Messages like, “No cruising. No U-turns. Midnight to 6 am” were posted around the neighborhood in 1997,

Fortunately, Friday is Joe Biden's last day in Italy for the G7, so the time that he can embarrass us overseas at the conference is thankfully coming to an end. We've seen him wandering and people having to help redirect him back to where he was supposed to be going. We've seen him giving garbled answers and snapping at a reporter because the reporter dared to ask him a question at his presser that wasn't about Ukraine. That managed to get a reaction out of the White House Correspondents Association. They threw Biden under the bus in their statement, saying there were no "deals" as he claimed.
