Using coal, hydroelectricity, natural gas and I don't recycle as I feel its a waste of time (don't believe the propaganda, plastic packaging is the main cause of waste, not plastic bags). I walk or catch the train.I have for 3 years now, and I am not a liberal (or a conservative) for that matter.
Then I salute you for your effort. What are you doing instead?
Yes, but a lot of electricity still comes from coal and natural gas.But no other path really, hydrogen is still far off, and biofuel hasn't finished starving the Africans to death yet.
Ironically, your country is best-suited to implement a smart grid at a lower cost due to size of your country. Don't you blokes currently utilize geothermal too?
The installed generating capacity of New Zealand (all sources) as of December 2009 was 9,486 megawatts (MW), composed of 56.7% hydroelectricity, 18.4% natural gas, 10.0% coal, 6.9% geothermal, 5.2% wind, 1.6% oil, and 1.3% other sources (mainly biogas, waste heat and wood) [4]
A total of 43,401 GWh was generated in New Zealand in 2010. Of the electricity generated, it composed of 56.4% hydroelectricity, 21.2 % natural gas, 12.8% geothermal, 4.5% coal, 3.7% wind, <0.1% oil, and 1.4% other sources.[1]

Which is exactly why the oil industry doesn't need subsidies.
My question is, to anyone, if we are going to lose 21 billion in revenues in a subsidy for big oil,
who do you want to tax to make up that revenue loss?
The oil industry does not get subsidies.
So the per-unit subsidy for extracting from marginal sources doesn't exist?
Really?
I have for 3 years now, and I am not a liberal (or a conservative) for that matter.I want to see every anti oil liberal stop using it. Even for just 1 year. Show us you really mean what you say for a change.in fact RW? If you don't LIKE IT? Cease driving. Buy a bike at the risk of making the BICYCLE Consortium RICH...
CEASE using your computer...all those plastics and all can't be good for the environment....Isn't GREEN because MOST power you garner is from COAL/OIL...Polluters that you HATE...but yet you give them MONEY and them complain of it...
Do you feel like a fucking hyporcrite yet?
*YOU SHOULD*

If you are using a computer, which you are, you are using petroleum products. Not to mention all the other plastics that you use each and every day.

I love how they bitch about what the republicans did when they were in charge. Then when the democrats are in charge and do the same thing or nothing about it, the still bitch about what the republicans did when they were in charge. Always the blame game with these jokers.
Those arent subsidies those are right offs same as any business gets, any business can right off their expenses. To single out oil companies and say they can't do that is stupid liberal distractions

Not only do they bitch about it? They TRIPLED the effort...
They want the Debt ceiling raised...but BITCHED about it being raised in 2006...and even our LOSER of a POTUS said it wasn't right at the time.
These people live with two faces...you see the one presented depending whom is in power...

Democrats have 53 votes in the Senate. How did the vote go down? All Democrats voted for it right?The bill is expected to be defeated in a procedural vote in the evening.
53 - 52 = 1. Who was the Democrat who voted against it?Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes Act: Senate began consideration of the motion to proceed to consideration of S.940, to reduce the Federal budget deficit by closing big oil tax loopholes.
During consideration of this measure today, Senate also took the following action:
By 52 yeas to 48 nays (Vote No. 72), Senate did not agree to the motion to proceed to consideration of the bill.
A unanimous-consent agreement was reached providing that having failed to achieve 60-affirmative votes, the motion to proceed to consideration of the bill, be withdrawn
14 trillion in debt and the Dems in the US Senate are playing partisan games. Chuckie Schumer and "Dingy" Harry are all about partisan politics.“I didn't support the Democratic proposal this evening and I won't be supporting the Republican proposal tomorrow because this isn't about partisan politics for me - it’s about Alaska and our nation's long-term energy security. “Even though there are incentives for oil and gas development, these proposals are too narrow and fail to address key items such as revenue sharing, renewables, efficiency, and others that will really solve our energy crisis.
“I have made it clear in my speech last week - and since my first day in the Senate - I am going to fight for a real, comprehensive energy plan that embraces Alaska's potential, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, and protects consumers.”

more misinformation.
