Bad news for oil barons
Bioenergy Assn predicts NZ could be fully self-sufficient in transport biofuels within a few years as Govt provides grants
20 May 2009
The Bioenergy Association predicts that within a few years, New Zealand will no longer have to rely on overseas oil barons.

Over the next three years, the Government is providing grants totaling $36 million to biofuel producers.

Bioenergy Association executive officer Brian Cox says the grants will speed up innovation in the biofuels industry and he sees a positive future for the sector in New Zealand.

"We could develop full self-sufficiency in transport biofuels within a short number of years."

Mr Cox says New Zealand has enough biomass resources for transport and the technology for biofuels is currently being developed.

nice!

Fuckin' sad part is... the best we get in the U.S. is a 35 mpg standard within 5 years... how gay is that...

If Obama was truly wanting to nix fossil fuels, he'd push through legislation that Gasoline powered cars will not be allowed to be manufactured after 2029

sigh.

My wife and I both refuse to
give up our trucks.

Next vehicle ? Another F-150.

That'll make three.

Fuck the ecology.

Our economy needs fixing, first.

Miffed,

Biofuels? Great, let's fuck with plants and mutate them more. Let's take over all small farming everywhere and replace it with huge commercial crops to harvest for biofuels. Fix the economy? How can you fix something that is inherently broken in the first place? How can you fix it with the same stupid selfish asshole thinking. Don't worry... selfish asshole-ism doesn't neccessarily mean you're bad....just an idiot.

And the ecology looks quite bleak. 100 more years trying to fix stupid, and we'll all be dead. You SUV included. But you do realize that REGULATING who can drive trucks and who can't, along with sticking it's hand down big business's pants and jacking it off hard, is CORPORATE FASCISM on the government's part..... and that is grounds for a divorce... better yet, an all out assault from every angle.... on the action of this beast we let fuck us.... by not fucking participating. God fucking dammit. Not fucking hard if lots of peple decided one day to wake the fuck up and take back control... not just America, but everywhere. The Corporate Machine includes it all.

SUVs and trucks could probably kick just as much if not more ass powered by something other than ridiculously priced gasoline or the dangerous monopoly on all renewable resources that biofuels would create. The technology is out there, obviously... but its's either bought up and locked up by corporate and military shadow organizations, or the people are killed in mysterious ways and their research is stolen or destroyed coincidentially.

So... this is just another way that Corporations are responding to the changing mental paradigm as a whole. As people get wise to any and all market ploys and that fact that you are not a corporation's friend but instead an asset, the government steps in (acting like some savior when actually it's the same puppetmaster(s) behind it all) and assumes control of it..... and the market becomes no longer about Freedom to be a Consumer and a Capitalist, but once again blatant fear mongering and blatant control measures on the public's abilitry to fgunction as a whole. That whole "Capitalism is freedom" crap was an illusion, of course. Just an illusion in place because it was convenient for control at the time... because everyone was so hypnotized with the American Dream, as a whole world it was "be like America, free trade, capitalism, democracy".

When will you decide that you don't need a middleman in order to communicate, humanity? When will you save yourself, instead of talking about someone saving the economy and someone saving America and someone saving us from the terrorists? When will YOU change the world with me? If you're here, you're responsible. If you are here, you are fully capable of realizing why you are responsible and why excuses must stop being made any why action must be taken in the opposite direction of where you are headed now. I'm not saying pack up and leave and run away. I'm saying, it's time to refuse things. To say "ahhh no that's not real so I'm not gunna be forced into buying it. I'm gunna go over there now, away from you. Wanna kill me? Fine, but you won't ever be able to control me again."

You have to stop fearing death. You have to look inside and willingly face all of your fears.... and cancel them with knowledge from within.

This might interest you pac its the NZ conspiracy . . . They have oil leaching through the sand at Stewart Island . . .. .The
Hunt brothers petroleum, were the one with the contract, in the mid 60's, it quite long but interesting. :)


THE GREAT SOUTH BASIN: Apr 07
Back in the 1970s, some of the world’s richest oilmen came prowling the coast of New Zealand. According to popular rumour and conspiracy theory they struck it big, but chose not to tell the NZ Government. Now the official documents have been released, and they confirm the Great South Basin is one of the biggest unexplored conventional oilfields in the world. IAN WISHART has more

good post lala,....pity I cant smite you.......little bit of everything in this one....... :bong:


For those old enough to remember, the legend of the Great South Basin began in the early 1969 when Hunt Petroleum, founded by Texas oil billionaire H L Hunt, came knocking on New Zealand’s door, looking for oilfields away from the Middle East.

The TV series Dallas was based on the lives of Hunt and his children, and in fact the scriptwriters had to leave out much of the wilder exploits because no one in TV-land would have believed them

Biofuels can be used in your trucks as well. There's this thing called biodiesel. And it really isn't as expensive as you think to produce, in fact I believe Henry Ford had wanted his cars to run on biofuel. It's good, anyone can produce it from all kinds of feedstock. Means you don't need to import the fuel for your trucks and if you can produce it yourself, you don't need to buy it from anyone.

Your knee-jerk anti ecological stance and shortsightedness displeases The Seal. Bow down and do 50 :pound: penance and you shall be forgiven.

And I don't know if you heard about this Lex. . . The article is from Jan 09. . . .so the rev heads should be ok :)


January 2, 2009 Air New Zealand has successfully undertaken the world's first commercial aviation test flight using the second-generation biofuel jatropha. A series of key performance tests were conducted at various altitudes during the two hour flight over New Zealand's North Island in which a 50:50 jatropha and Jet A1 fuel blend was used to power one of four Rolls-Royce RB211 engines on the Air New Zealand Boeing 747-400.

The historic flight is a result of a collaboration between Air New Zealand, Boeing, Rolls-Royce and Honeywell’s UOP ( which processed the biological feedstocks to produce synthetic paraffinic kerosene). Terasol Energy also assisted the partners in the independent sourcing of the sustainable feedstocks
