Re: Keystone cancellation

 

Also, I didn't say it would solve the energy problems of hundreds of millions of people, but a $1/gallon gas price increase affects hundreds of millions.

1.? Have you ever used a 3D printer?

?

No, but my husband and children have. They have used one at our local library, at a science fair we attended, and we have a primitive 3D printer in our house that they have played around with (but is to primitive to be useful.)

?

2.? Do you think Putin will still be the Russian president in five years?

?

I don’t think so. I expect he will be deposed. Putin is not a religious figurehead in the way that Kim in North Korea is. Russia has powerful groups—the oligarchs, the GRU, the military. Putin’s actions are not serving the interests of these powerful groups, so I think they will take methods to depose him.

?

3.? Do you think the Chinese will attack Taiwan within the next year?

?

I now doubt it. If you had asked me last year, I would have said fairly likely.
Now, I think 1) China has seen the worlds sanctions on Russia for invading the Ukraine, and China will not want to risk having similar sanctions. And 2) seeing how overstated the Russian military was, I now question how overstated the Chinese military is. I think Winnie the Poo, er Xi, is wise enough to also question that.

?

4.? Are you disappointed in the news coverage of world events over the last month?

?

Well, I generally only watch unconventional, alternative news sites, so I’m not really sure how the mass media has been covering world events. I probably would be disappointed, which is why I don’t watch mass media anymore. I am satisfied with the coverage of world events that I’m getting from social media, unconventional, and alternative news sites.

?

5.? Are you looking forward to the next year?

?

No. I’m pessimistic that things will get better anytime soon, and I think things could get much worse, so better to stay here in 2022 where things aren’t as bad as they might get.

Keystone cancellation

 

Ed had said “Biden should never have halted its construction.? Look at the international mess that his one stupid and unnecessary decision has immediately affected hundreds of millions of middle class people in about 20 countries.”

I think this is quite hyperbolic. 280,000 barrels/day is miniscule in the grand scheme of oil, and by no means would solve the energy problems of hundreds of millions of people.?

Rhonda


830,000 barrels per day is a lot. ?Venezuela only produces about 900,000, and it's a major exporter.
We're talking exports, not usage. ?
If you're saying that part of Keystone will be shut down when the additional capacity comes online, so the increase is only 280K/bbl/day, they'll probably keep both going as needed until the Russia shortfall is resolved. ?Every pipeline, like every mine, is opposed by environmentalists these days, just like every day of bad weather is blamed on climate change. ?If the world didn't need the oil, there wouldn't be any profit in building the pipeline.

<<1.? Should Putin be charged with war crimes?>>

Absolutely. Will charging him have any? meaningful change? No.

?


<<2.? ?Should Germany restart their nuclear reactors to limit exposure to Russian natural gas?>>

Sounds reasonable. I’m not familiar with Germany’s energy model or why they stopped their nuclear reactors, but certainly anything they can do to replace Russian gas would be a good move.


<<3.? ?Should the Chernobly Nuclear plant be placed under international control?>>

Yes. But will that actually happen? No.
The international judicial system said Russia should withdraw immediately from the Ukraine, that didn’t happen. Russia isn’t going to care if they are told they should let an international workforce take over Chernoble.


4.? Would resuming construction of the Keystone Pipeline? help remediate crude oil prices?

Perhaps internationally….my understanding is the additional barrels of oil would just be passing through the US, going to Mexico, so it wouldn’t help with US prices.

Ed has said “adding 830,000 per day to US coastal refineries”….to clarify, this pipe would carry 830,000 barrels/day….however it is replacing a pipeline that carries 550,000 barrels a day, so the net gain is only 280,000 barrels per day.

5.? Should Biden let the Keystone Pipeline be built?

To clarify, what is called the “Keystone Pipeline” is actually 4 different pipelines/sections. 3 of the 4 were completed and running. The 4th part was stopped due to potential environmental damage, and from what I understand it would have added only 280,000 barrels, and those barrels would not have benefited the US. So given my current understanding of the lack of benefit to the US vs the environmental damage to the US, I would say no, Biden should not let the 4th part of the Keystone Pipeline be finished.

1.? Harve you ever used a 3D printer?

I have not. I have a mild curiosity that is probably a couple years old.?

2.? Do you think Putin will still be the Russian president in five years?

Good question. I am vacillating.? Not sure. If he succeeds in closing out this war without any drastic actions and spins it right at home, maybe it will be an advance for him. Overall, though, I think he is sliding toward the cliff as he cannot close out the world like was possible in the old days and so the population will hear more than one side. I cannot foresee any huge economic gains that might appease the mob. I suspect the present course is increasingly a suicide run for him.

3.? Do you think the Chinese will attack Taiwan within the next year?

I think it is likely they will make some play. So far, they have been cunningly applying The Art of War patiently and I wonder if they will need to attack.?

4.? Are you disappointed in the news coverage of world events over the last month?

Not really. The special interest spin is so ingrained into "new" programming I just expect it as normal.?

Re: [PhilosophicalM] Friday Five Mar 11

 

1.? Should Putin be charged with war crimes?

Yes, as should Assad, though it would only be symbolic.

2.? ?Should Germany restart their nuclear reactors to limit exposure to Russian natural gas?

Of course; and they should return to burning coal as well.

3.? ?Should the Chernobly Nuclear plant be placed under international control?

I don't believe that's feasible, and I worry more about the six Chinese nuclear plants operating in Pakistan.

4.? Would resuming construction of the Keystone Pipeline? help remediate crude oil prices?

Of course; prices are partially based on speculation, and adding 830,000 barrels per day to US coastal refineries will help the US, Canadian, and European economies.

5.? Should Biden let the Keystone Pipeline be built?

Biden should never have halted its construction.? Look at the international mess that his one stupid and unnecessary decision has immediately affected hundreds of millions of middle class people in about 20 countries.?

Re: Friday Five Mar 11

If the bodies empowered to investigate such things present sufficient evidence?to justify the? action? Certainly of he is flouting and transgressing boundaries internationally. agreed to.

2.? ?Should Germany restart their nuclear reactors to limit exposure to Russian natural gas?

No educated opinion specific to Germany. Certainly I think there are better?alternatives to renewable? energy generation, though.

3.? ?Should the Chernobly Nuclear plant be placed under international control?

More so than any other nuclear site? WHyhy? It is actually more stable than active reactors, I think? I do think that avoiding "accidents" should be a high international priority.?

4.? Would resuming construction of the Keystone Pipeline? help remediate crude oil prices?

I do not think so. Eight months to reactivate according to supporters? In that amount of time, we could build better alternatives with faster graduated activations and staff them.

5.? Should Biden let the Keystone Pipeline be built?

No. Practicality should be considered when easing fossil fuels out of social use but this is not a practical solution to the situation. I would suggest his public image be substantially more assertive? about the alternatives. I feel confused about what effective, timely alternative he is proposing.?_._,_._,_

Re: Friday Five Feb 25

 


1. Should horses be used by police to break up crowds of non armed protestors?

Horses are frequently used for crowd control and are usually quite well suited to that work. The difference in Ottawa was in the way they were used, and probably more than that, the makeup of the crowd. This was not a young, drunk, disorderly mob such as they might have to control following a sporting event or rock concert. The protest group included elderly people, children, disabled people. And they were just standing still, sometimes singing the National Anthem, sometimes praying, sometimes telling the police officers in front of them that they loved them. The officers rode the horses right into the crowd, probably expecting them to scatter and probably unaware that a disabled woman on a mobility scooter was among them. But they lied after, saying anyone knocked over had walked away, no one was injured, and even claiming that someone among the protesters threw a bicycle at the horses, causing one to trip. In fact, the woman on the scooter was knocked over and trampled, and spent some time in the hospital because of it. Another person was also knocked down; I don't know whether she was injured. And the "bicycle" was the mobility scooter, not thrown but knocked over along with its disabled rider. The whole thing was an absolute disgrace.

2. How in your own commentaries do you separate fact from opinion?

Commentaries are always opinion.

3. Do you think people who might offend again if released on bail should be denied bail?

Depends on what they are charged with. The guy who drove through the Santa Claus parade in - was it Wisconsin? - should not have been out on bail, after a domestic violence incident. But Tamara Lich, organizer of the Freedom Convoy, should have been granted bail. She was only charged with mischief. None of the arrested protesters were charged with anything more than mischief. Yet Tamara Lich is still in prison, more than a week after her arrest. Note that the judge who denied her bail ran for the Liberal party in a federal election a few years ago. The Liberal corruption reaches its tentacles into everything.

4. Do you think the sanctions imposed against Russia are going to have any effect?

Not unless they impose some with teeth.

5. Is Justin Trudeau in violation of the Canadian Charter or Rights?

Yes. Freezing the bank accounts of people who donated even small sums to a cause that was perfectly legal was a violation of the Charter. Arresting people who were protesting peacefully and legally was a violation. Invoking the Emergencies Act for a clearly trivial reason may have been a violation of the Charter and may also have been illegal. At least 3 organizations are continuing with their legal challenges to invoking the Act, Trudeau is going to have to answer for it in court. It may result in criminal charges.
