You'd think that the parent company of NBC, GE, would be willing to run these ads for a discount since they are pretty big into the wind/solar field. They'd stand to make a lot of orders and thus money if the US gets on board with the Plan. _________________ Riches are not from abundance of worldly goods, but from a contented mind. |

The Greek philosophers knew that when passion rules the mind, that the only job left for reason is that of the subservient task to find cleaver ways to satisfy the passions. They called it "putting passion before reason." |

NBC - Controlled and run by Zionists.
Proposed Ad - Indirectly compliments Iran and makes them look pretty sane compared to an insane U.S., which is eating itself into an early death.
Solution - don't show donkey sh-t eating Americans an Ad that shows Iran in a good light. _________________ Massive Human Dieoff must occur as a result of Peak Oil. Many more than half will die. It will occur everywhere, including where you live. If you fail to recognize this, then your odds of living move toward the "going to die" group. |

Interesting. I guess putting passion before reason is the best strategy if energy is cheap, because it generates lots of jobs for people to satisfy oneanothers passions. But now that energy is expensive, reason will gain the upper hand again. The mechanism by which that is happening is called "demand destruction". The demand that is being destructed is after all the demand associated with satisfying frivolous passions. |

I don't have TV reception or broadband, so I haven't seen the ads.
But from all I've heard of them, one thing seems conspicuously absent. Anyone who has been paying attention for a while knows that Pickens is the world's richest Peak Oil awareness advocate. He has stated in numerous interviews over the last few years that he is convinced we will not exceed our current production of about 85 mbd.
But where in his multimillion dollar ad campaign has he tried to inform J6P about this? Is the idea of Peak Oil too scary for mass consumption? _________________ The battle to preserve our lifestyle has already been lost. The battle to preserve our lives is just beginning. |

The only well known figure talking about die-off is Ted Turner (who mentioned cannibalism within the context of global warming) and look what that got him. _________________ http://doomsteaddiary.blogspot.com/ |

Pickens plan, as detailed by link, isn't a plan. It's an idea one could nearly write on the back of a matchbook cover.
There's some good specifics about some energy matters on his page, but there are virtually no details about the plan itself. Basically, all it states is it will cost one trillion, and we can build wind farms, transfer NG useage to power cars and reduce foreign oil. No energy amounts, no timeline, no mention why the page wants viewers to spread the word. Nothing about the possible problems or solutions in regard to any of it.
Presumably, the "plan" will require vast government mandates and/or financial giveaways. |

Because he can't make any money off of that. If this goes through, he'll make billions more from NG and wind-turbine sales. No reason to go about an advertising campaign talking about conservation. _________________ Riches are not from abundance of worldly goods, but from a contented mind. |

Don't know all the details but... CNG is dangerous stuff. The above ground tanks I see are spread out over large areas. My fill station is 80 miles round trip away. And one bullet into it and a big boom goes off.
sorry can't figure out the hyper link thing... |

It's been used a lot in buses and a fair number of Hoda Civics. I used to see some CNG Civics driving around Southern California. Do you have any actual statistics for the number of "big booms" that have taken place? Have there been any at all?

Censorship can be the most effective form of advertisement. It piques the interest more than any bland 15 second television spot ever could. |
