Chevron refinery in Richmond California, was still burning as cadres of lawyers blanketed the surrounding communities   Wherever plumes of smoke drifted, you could find a lawyer knocking on doors and handing out cardsAs I watched the spectacle on nationwide TV and web news, it brought me back to the time when a minor bus accident occurred in San Francisco The bus with no more than 15 passengers on it had a minor collision with a car READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/story/news/from-the-right/current-power-outages-a-glimpse-into-americas-future-under-the-epa-and-0bamacare-161104075.html

that plowed through the east caused widespread power outages  They are offering us an example of what it is like to have a society without electricity To make matters worse, the outages are occurring during record heat, compounding the misery of millions of Americans   But if this was happening during winter under record cold, it could be disastrous READ MORE ]]>

attacked on all levels  When was the last time a nuclear power plant was built in America?  Even hydro electric dams are under assault & being torn down in the name of environmentalism  Energy Secretary Steven Chu said he would like to see our gasoline prices the same as Europeans  Of course  environmentalists on the left have been waging war on coal, oil and gas for years READ MORE ]]>

the answerOne of the biggest national investors in green energy, Germany, is coming to the realization that green energy is the path to bankruptcy This is nothing short of blasphemy in the green world to even make a partial admission that solar power is not the panacea it was promised to beGermany invested gargantuan amounts of money in green energy, doling out more than 130 billion in subsidies to install solar systems and spends an additional 10 billion per year subsidizing existing solar installationsYet after all of this capital expenditure, Germany has little to show in terms of reducing green house gasses and helping the country's power needs READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/story/news/from-the-right/will-hillary-clintons-image-be-stained-by-keystone-rejection-137621283.html

Department suggest they will reject the rerouting of the Keystone Pipeline, which means the pipeline project itself is rejected This important conduit of new energy would have brought Canada’s tar sands oil directly down to US refineries efficiently and safely by pipeline, rather than rail, barge or truck Ironically the pipeline would be a much more environmentally safe way to transport oil, if it is brought down to the USThe proposed route would have bypassed the Ogallala aquifer, this removed one of the main environmental objections in the first place READ MORE ]]>

which fostered the beginnings of Irish American muscle in the the labor movement, is under assault In the 1860-70's early Irish Americans shed blood in the battle for workers rights, workers safety, unionization and collective bargaining in those coal fields Today some people in the industry think there needs to be a modern day version of the secret society known as the Molly Maguires, to defend their livelihood and the nations main source of energyBut this time the threat to their livelihoods, way of life and standard of living, is not at the hands of a cold-hearted industrialist, but at the hands of government regulation designed to crush their industry READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/story/news/from-the-right/133821608.html

the Presidential elections, comes at the same time of news Iran is on the verge of obtaining nuclear weapons The "decision" showed that this vital step in keeping our nation protected from outside threats to our energy supply, is based on politics, rather than what is best for our countryIsrael, the vowed target for annihilation by Iranian President Achmadenajad, has been said to be making preparations to defend itself These preparations would include proactive and pre-emptive strikes on Iran's known nuclear facilities READ MORE ]]>
