U.S. pumps up Bakken oil estimate

Black gold - North Dakota Tea!

Let's go get the oil and give american families a break.

Great for the short term. But isn't our goal to use sources of energy other than fossil fuels?

***Farmers cashing in on carbon credits ***

http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx...

Wisconsin farmers are 'selling' carbon credits to a company which in turn 'trades' them on the Chicago Climate Exchange.'Polluting' companies 'buy' these credits to offset their emissions of CO2. The only problem is, the Wisconsin farmer is doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING different in terms of farming his land!!!! The only thing he does is sell his 'credit' on a fictional market and get 1 or 2 bucks an acre, but which does NOTHING WHATSOEVER to reduce CO2 emissions. Even if one believed CO2 was harmful and caused Global Warming (which I do not!), this scheme serves no purpose at all, except to enrich morons like Saint Al and his Branch Algorians who devised this fraud.
