The good news that went unreported on air quality.
For a longtime I have wondered how much US air quality has improved since the EPA was started in the 1970 using the same "yardstick". Finally I found it at http://hotair.com

I just watched a Nation Geographic "greenie propaganda" show "A world without oil".
I just watched this blantant greenie propaganda show. The "yuppie" obsession with salad vegetables is hilarious! In makeshift home gardens the potato would rule, not salad greens. If you need to prevent scurvy and get vitamin C germinate grain into "sprouts". Very easy to do at home!
In early WWII England did a lot of this subsistence gardening. Also, with grain, it takes up to ten calories of grain to make one calorie of beef protein. Less for swine and poultry. This is why when grain prices go up meat and poultry prices rise dramatically. Shipments and storage of fresh and frozen meat will be difficult. Also, the US has huge amounts of grain stored in silos. Not all is human consumption grade but that is a subjective judgement. Much of humanity now consumes grain we would consider low grade animal feed.
BTW: During that war fought in the 1940's in black and white those German Nazi enemies fueled their war machine using coal converted to liquid diesel and gasoline engine fuel. South Africa has done this for decades. It's somewhat dirty and it requires crude oil to be over fifty dollars a barrel to make it commercially viable but we are there now. Oh I forgot! The Sierra Club, Al Gore and the EPA do not like this idea! The US has thousands of years of coal when you include the lower grade coal that works well in liquid fuel conversion.
It seemed like the writers of this greenie propaganda were "in bed" with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. You might recall Pelosi opining that we should replace fossil fuels with Natural Gas. Our version of Marie Antoinette was unaware that Natural Gas is a fossil fuel. In this show we somehow had natural gas but no crude oil. liquid and gaseous petroleum are almost always produced together. The main exceptions are ultra deep wells and horizontal "fracking" of some shale deposits. Both require ultra-high grade steel drill piping. This would be very difficult to manufacture and maintain if we had no liquid oil.
Liquefied coal fuel in this "out of oil" would be dirty and expensive but we still still have a democracy. Greg Lang. Minneapolis, MN, USA
