TOKYO, Sept 8 (Reuters) – Japan’s trade ministry and Alaska’s Department of Natural Resources on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding to help Japan procure low-cost and stable supplies of liquefied natural gas(LNG), a government official said.

Exxon Mobil Corp, its partners and the state of Alaska in July sought federal permission to export 20 million tonnes of LNG annually from a project that is expected to eventually cost between $45 billion and $65 billion.   Continue reading “Japan signs MoU with Alaska for LNG supply”

The growing glut of U.S. natural gas is helping to power a manufacturing boom in Mexico.

Natural-gas exports across the southern border have risen 11% so far this year, to two billion cubic feet a day, according to Bentek Energy, an analytics company based in Denver.

And that flow of gas could double in the next few years, analysts say. Companies have announced plans for at least seven new pipelines to take gas across the border from Texas and Arizona, including one expected to start transporting fuel at the end of the month.   Continue reading “U.S. Natural-Gas Exports Fuel Mexican Manufacturing Boom”

In Part One of this series, I looked at what an EMP is, and the 3 types of EMPs (Electro Magnetic Pulse). Now, I will look at the impact that they would have should we ever experience one.

The type of pulses that could be generated with an EMP/CME

Before I begin, I want to note that it has been pointed out to me that there are some technical differences between a nuclear E3 pulse and a solar storm. However, the results to the power grid would be the same should either one hit. So for the sake of simplicity, I stated that a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection/Solar Storm) has E3 type characteristics, and referred to it as a solar EMP.   Continue reading “How to survive an EMP – Part 2: Life after the pulse”

PHOENIX — The remnants of Hurricane Norbert pushed into the desert Southwest and swamped Phoenix with record rainfall for a single day, turning freeways into small lakes and sending rescuers scrambling to get drivers out of inundated cars.

In Tucson, one woman died after her car was swept away by flooding and trapped against a bridge.

A flash-flood warning was issued for most of the Phoenix area and its outskirts through Monday morning because of thunderstorms and rainfall associated with Norbert after it was downgraded to a tropical depression.   Continue reading “Record rain in Phoenix turns freeways into lakes”

Most everyone in America knows the media are corrupt, but despite all of our collective disdain and distrust Chanel 208 One America News has offered up what is self-touted to be “honest” news.

It got me to thinking… …Never a good thing. For instance, is One America News Network going to keep accurate, detailed Wall Street Charts with numerical values of billions in dollars owed by Raytheon, Lockheed and Boeing as recompense to widows and orphans from hospitals bombed by defective smart bombs? Better yet, accurate Wall Street accountings of dollars owed for loss of life globally from Wall Street/NATO pollution. Or is One America News just another Wall Street/NATO shill journalism gig?   Continue reading “Longest Menage a Trois in American History: Government-Corporate-Media”

The training went on for four nights in both downtowns, scaring and angering more than a few neighbors. The helicopters came without warning, and under cover of darkness.   Continue reading “Minneapolis City Council Member Demands Answers about Military Helicopter Training”

Say hello to the next financial crisis, brought to you courtesy of the dumbest new bill of the week: H.R. 5148: Access to Affordable Mortgages Act.

Ordinarily whenever an individual wants to borrow money for a mortgage, the bank conducts due diligence… both on the borrower as well as the property.

It’s in the banks’ interest (as well as the banks’ depositors) to ensure that the property is at least worth as much as the amount being borrowed. Duh.   Continue reading “New bill: Congress engineering yet another financial crisis”

Former Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell was going to emerge from his bribery and corruption trial as either a convicted felon or a clueless, neglectful husband who didn’t realize a rich political donor was lavishing expensive, illegal gifts on his out-of-control wife. Either way, his political future was doomed. This afternoon a jury decided it: convicted felon.

McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, were convicted on multiple counts of “conspiracy to commit honest-services wire fraud, honest-services wire fraud, conspiracy to obtain property under color of official right, and obtaining the property under color of official right.” The five-week trial in U.S. District Court in Richmond found that the two traded political influence for loans and gifts from a dietary supplement magnate, Jonnie Williams, valued at more than $170,000.   Continue reading “Virginia’s Ex-Governor Is Now a Felon”
