ALERT
BLM is proposing a “Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation” rule, commonly referred to as the Venting and Flaring rule.
The rule will make oil and gas production on federal lands across the country more difficult and expensive, reduce production, increase energy prices, kill jobs and damage local economies – without providing any significant benefits to the environment. It will also reduce government revenues by driving oil and gas production from federal lands to private lands.
BLM’s Venting and Flaring rule is currently in a 90-day public comment period that ends April 22nd.
A draft comment letter can be found at this link, courtesy of our Consumer Energy Alliance friends. Please feel free to personalize the letter and return it to CEA’s Jame Voyles on company/organization letterhead — or on your own personal letterhead. Jame will coordinate submission to the federal docket.
“Why carbon dioxide is a good thing,”
from one of our Canadian readers, Thorp Watson
Are politicians willing to learn from greenhouse operators? Such knowledge will enable them to challenge the climate-change alarmist propaganda, which wrongly classifies carbon dioxide (“CO2”) as a pollutant. The advertisement for the Johnson CO2 generator reveals that:
– “CO2 enrichment at 2, 3 or 4 times natural concentration will cause plants to grow faster and improve plant quality.”
– “Plants must absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) in combination with water, soil nutrients and sunlight to produce the sugars vital for growth.”
– “After 3 to 4 hours of early morning sunlight the CO2 level can drop to around l00 to 150 ppm, then growth is practically stopped.”
It is important to note that the atmosphere’s CO2 content is reduced to about 180 ppm during the planet’s reoccurring glaciation cycles. Because this level is dangerously close to the no-growth level, tree lines retreat and deserts advance.
The consumption of the planet’s reserves of coal, oil, and gas will not materially replenish the CO2 content of the atmosphere. The atmosphere will continue to be CO2 impoverished.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to restore the highly desirable CO2 content of ancient atmospheres (e.g. 5 to 20 times) because most of that CO2 was naturally sequestered to form carbonate rocks such as limestone.
