The head of the Texas Public Utility Commission expressed concern Friday that a new federal air quality rule, set to take effect Jan. 1, will cause disruptions in electric service.
----------------------------------------If implementation of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule is not delayed, "I have no doubt in my mind that this rule will result in reliability issues and rolling outages in Texas," Donna Nelson said at the start of the commission's meeting.

Decreased Solar activity since the 1950's ? ![]() Judge for yourself if you think an increasingly active Sun might have an effect on Climate (n.b. Warmer Oceans hold less dissolved gases. Where do they go?) Truth will out Dave Did all those studies not tell you that the net increase of CO2 in the air is from fossil fuel CO2? The oceans are still in a net uptake mode, absorbing along the 50% of what we put in, co-adding to acidification. (Why this round circle again as debunked argument?) The original page where above image is included in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium-10. You might want to look up what 10Be indicates... hmmm, nothing new from what was posted before on these forums: More galactic rays when there's less solar activity to sum it up... no idea what the sunspot / 10Be twin plotting is supposed to infer v.v. total solar irradiance intensities, but 10Be is a known reverse proxy, so my interpretation has been for a while. Looking at the last 60 years of that plot (30 missing for 10Be!) AND the temperature record, there's clear indication that, well that's it's been warming, regardless of what else we put in the air over and above CO2 and other known greenhouse gases. This does though tell something something now does it not... through ca 2010: Past 9300 years per Leif Svalgaard http://www.leif.org/EOS/Holocene-TSI.pdf . He's one of the sanes posting at WUWT. his reconstruction: http://www.landscheidt.info/images/steinhilber.png And summary on 10Be findings: The Vonmoos 10Be graph and the recent Steinhilber overlay both display a "flatter" modulation of solar activity. The 14C showing more modulation. Does this give us a clue to whether TSI values have varied more than the 0.1% over recent times and more importantly how does the Babcock-Leighton model account for the now verified regular solar downturns? This simply cant happen if based on a random number generator. See, however you slice and dice it, TSI is still just 0.1% varying between maximum and minimum. Don't know what it says about having a Vespa and a Car versus not having either. As eluded, the Carbon footprint is lower... you've made your lives choices too. Good for you to only go by push-bike and public transport... no need to buy CO2 offsets. The beach was too hot, so we ran. --//-- P.S. Still standing with that dubious claim of no warming in the 21st century? Same class as your opinion on the Guardian article? Aliens better stay away. We've got methyl iodide [some countries allow it to be sprayed on choice crops, which are then fed to the people]. Do enjoy the sun. Recommended outdoor dosage is 3 hours per day. extended indoors without good fresh-air ventilation impairs the cranial function. P.P.S. When will *global* cooling start and hold? Please share... interested in any magic wand predictions. [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 21, 2011 2:33:14 PM] |

Just by adapting, you'll be able to do with lots less environmental non-compliant power plants. Was reading that in one EU country the build of 4 coal plants in one spot was frozen. Why was the initiative to push replacement of incandescent lamps in the US shot down, them using 1/5th of the power? Here incandescents are prohibited in phases for eventual complete abolishment: http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/09/368 Many of our house lights are now getting swapped to LED. 1.6 watts for 25 Watts of incandescent. That's for latter 1500% more than former. The saving lamps have a many years longer life than the old bulb. Food for thought, but not for all! --//-- P.S. The reliability issues are stemming in the US from wanting to sit at front row for pennies. Just look at the flexibility of your nation wide power grid. Remember Enron? Much of your supply problems are and were artificial created. These days we have 99.95+% reliability here, but This is not America |

Scary. I especially love this part.
----------------------------------------OBAMACARE AND THE IPAB The IPAB, or Independent Payment Advisory Board, was established by the Obamacare legislation. It’s a 15-member panel of bureaucrats appointed by the Dark Lord to control Medicare costs. The term “advisory” is a misnomer. The recommendations of this panel have the force of law and was designed to take over the job Congress is tasked with doing; overseeing and controlling Medicare costs. Apart from the obvious rationing aspects that will emerge from this panel is the Constitutionality issue. The Goldwater Institute has filed a lawsuit against the board which argues that Congress cannot delegate its legislative responsibilities away to an unelected, executively appointed board. Of course it’s not Constitutional, but has not this Congress been working overtime to delegate their authority to Lord Obama? The lines of the separation of powers doctrine have become so blurred as to make it meaningless. Obamacare instituted a series of barriers designed to make it extremely difficult to repeal this board.
In 1969 I took an oath to defend and protect the U S Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and Domestic. There was no expiration date.

What the Man Made Global Warmists and Sek don't want you to see That you're not ashamed of making these claims I knew for longer and putting a trend-line into sunspots does not mean much either, as has long has been explained to you v.v. change of solar output... suffering from sieve memory? Any blind person can see that the trend is down since the mid 50's. Now put those sunspots against the temperature curve in combination. How is it that the world keeps warming, decade on decade notwithstanding?![]() The plot of Sunspots since the beginning of the 20th Century....with linear trend line Truth ![]() In a democracy you get to vote a few times every few years. Then you can vote in those that want to be "misunderestimated". We've had the TRIANA satellite stuck to the ground [work of the Bush admin] which would have given us already total net energy budget record for over 10 years... that what comes in from the sun, that what comes out as radiated out from the planet aka energy budget. If you think we can measure solar watts arriving [varying 0.1% from max to min, when there's NO sunspots] don't you think there's not been measuring of the back radiation? The stratosphere is cooling exactly as the theories have predicted... because less heat is escaping to space, because... Here some language on Stratospheric cooling versus tropospheric warming. It's been dumbed down, but it's still well above what gets printed over at Watts: http://www.wunderground.com/resources/climate/strato_cooling.asp At Watts you read luminary comments such as: "That is real science, but I don't understand anything of it" It's not the sun, the constantness expressed in that curve at top of this chart... ![]() and it's signal 250 times amplified to make the variation visible, but I've not told you or anyone anything new, did I, a circular repeated just to wear out the reader till you've got the plot to yourself and Watts commentators... why is greenland ...? (oh never mind) Maybe you'd like to tell the good folk why we're still warming despite the sunspots. Food for thought, but not to you! --//-- P.S. please continue to trot out sound-bites. We'll not be waiting on a comprehensive single post where you put everything together, which is the point where you'll refer to ''we're to puny to do this, or the standard hand-flapping: We don't know enough''. Arrhenius and Langley had it already roughed out at the end of the 19th century, in true science. By the 50's we knew for sure... except it's happening faster... 12 years it took to add the same demands for an additional 1 billion people who've we've got trouble feeding. 9 billion by 2050. That is if food and water wars have not broken out by then. Shortly after 2050 a doubling of CO2 from per-industrial will have been reached... 560 ppmv CO2... 0.056% of the atmosphere, when in 2011 the sun's average through August 15 was 0,00878659% less than in 2003 that other heatwave year. 2003 had 63.6 sunpots on average. 2011 had 40.2 sunspots through July. That wow, 50% less... has it been cooling or warming since the start of this millennium? P.P.S. how many years are missing from your sunspot plot, where is the x-axis reference to give the readers proper perspective? Why did it cool post war, notwithstanding the sunspot crescendo then? Fortunately, others have long thought this through, put this to paper and tested this ad infinitum even whilst the rail-tracks in the UK are not buckling now. The Arctic Oscillation is nicely doing it's job to keep you cold and wet, just how you like it, to have an excuse while commenting on what you see outside that garden window.
