LNG - If your not mad as hell yet, you will be!

Watch the LNG video that Charlie Smith has pointed you to. Click here!

How "slow" do the oil companies think we southerners are?

I applaud the recording technology that makes it possible for you, the reader, to see and hear exactly what everyone said. Watch their body language. You can judge for yourself if the oil company's exhibit greed and audacity.

In my opinion the Big Oil Companies are scrambling to hurry up and BS us "poor" Louisiana residents.

Watch the recording and hear them complain that "the train is moving too fast"!

This is a joke!

The speed of the train was set to accommodate them, not us. The time frame for project approval was reduced to 330 days when it used to take years.

When opposition to the oil company's are moving fast, the oil companies complain (Watch 26 min 40 sec in the playback).

Watch Big Oil talk out of each side of their mouth.

First, they say if research proves that their open loop facility will damage the marine environment they will not build it ( Watch 19 min 20 sec in the playback). Second, they admit that they will kill everything that comes through their open loop facility (20 min 50 sec).

Now, I know that I am "slow" and that I am from Louisiana but, didn't they just admit that their open loop facility will kill everything that is sucked into their intake?

Doesn't everyone agree that the Kill Rate is in the Millions?

Then they said that "that the oil companies assume that none of the micro-organisms will survive".

The microorganisms that they so lightly refer to are millions of eggs of redfish, speckled trout, a plethora of other fish, shrimp and billions of zooplankton.

This "only" represents the continuing survival of our entire marine resource.

They say they need to protect their stock holders, I say we need to protect our "brood stock" for our children and grand children. Which is more important to the Louisiana people?

I guess that means that ConocoPhillips is not going to apply for an "Open Loop" facility, or did they misstate their position ?

To be honest, I love seeing them panic!

In my opinion they are starting to realize David just might beat Goliath!

Get the message BIG OIL, we are willing to accept LNG closed loop systems we are going to fight open loop systems to the death (the death of Open Loop).

We are not buying the BS, save it.

Please read Pigs get fat but Hogs get Slaughtered.

Keep pushing for the last 4% of profit (over 1 Billion a year for the next 50 years is not enough).

When Louisiana gets feed up and we begin to resent your insensitivity and greed so much we may begin to totally reject LNG like the rest of the country!

Big Oil, go "closed loop" or take a fresh approach, LNG Smart.  Click here to read about this marine/air friendly alternative.

President Bush and the Oil Companies are in a big hurry.  Everyone was in a hurry in New York.  Remember Love Canal, click here to read one account from the EPA. This was one of the most appalling environmental tragedies in American history. What is worse is that it cannot be regarded as an isolated event. It could happen again--anywhere in this country--unless we move expeditiously to prevent it.

It is within our power to exercise intelligent and effective controls designed to significantly cut environmental risks to Louisiana. We must decide what overall level of commitment we posses for defeating Open Loop Killing Machines. 

Why would any resident and more importantly any any elected official allow oil companies to destroy our environment.  One local official, Representative Kenneth L. Odinet, Sr. (41 min 00 sec) admitted yesterday he knows very little about LNG.  My God, he is "at the wheel"!

The British thought the people of Louisiana were an easy target.  Big Oil, don't make the same mistake!

The British came to New Orleans in 1814 and we sent them home, if you keep acting like a Louisiana enemy, we will call out the modern day Colonel Jackson.  Could Charlie Smith be the modern day Colonel Jackson (37 min 28 sec)?  You decide.

If this is a little too southern for you (we are slow) please read the popular southern fight song ; The Battle of New Orleans.

Battle of New Orleans
by Johnny Horton

In Eighteen-fourteen, we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we seed the British come
And there must have been a hunnered of 'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Old Hick'ry said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire till we seed their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em...

Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind!

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
