Reason TV: The Truth About Fracking

Reason TV: The Truth About Fracking

By marfdrat on June 28, 2011

I’m sure you’ve heard noise of one kind or another (most likely negative) about fracking, a technique used to extract natural gas from the earth.

The Recycling Dialogue: Are We Really Running Out of Natural Resources?

The Recycling Dialogue: Are We Really Running Out of Natural Resources?

By marfdrat on October 3, 2010

Image via Wikipedia I wrote a post a week or so ago about Community Recycling programs, and what a waste of resources they are.  Really, it was just a commentary on someone else’s work, with some of my own opinion thrown in.

Robert Reich urges Obama to Nationalize BP – Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Robert Reich urges Obama to Nationalize BP – Yeah, that’s the ticket.

By marfdrat on June 1, 2010

Yep.  This is exactly what we need – the government should put BP into “temporary (when has there ever been a temporary government program?) receivership”  so they can “ensure BP’s strategy is correct…” This is laughable.  It’s clear the Obama administration has no idea how to deal with the problem, and has admitted as much [...]
