“Now that we have sufficient capacity commitments from customers, we in turn are committed to go forward with the Ruby Pipeline Project,” said Jim Cleary, President of El Paso's Western Pipeline Group. “Ruby has proven itself as an attractive project for producers and end-users in the western states, and we are on track to have this much-needed pipeline capacity ready in less than three years.” We Continue to Listen
The proposed pipeline route would cross critical wildlife and wild lands on the southern boundary of the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Nevada, cut through a portion of the Black Rock High Rock Emigrant Trail National Conservation Area and border the Summit Lake Paiute Reservation in northwestern Nevada. Comments on the inadequate mitigation plan and voluntary conservation agreements not made public until mid-December were filed with FERC on February 3, 2010." People can still contact the BLM and ask them to delay the Ruby Pipeline project for at least one year until further studies can show an actual need for increased natural gas demand and also effective mitigation measures for all the miles of habitat the pipeline construction will destroy in the excavation process. Wouldn't most people prefer the labor resources used for more appropriate projects like local biomethane anaerobic digesters for each community, county and town that requests it. This is the true path to sustainability and energy independence, otherwise the pipeline owners will decide how much to charge for their natural gas depending on what they can get for it. Natural gas remains financially unreliable and physically unstable. Biomethane would result in more permanant jobs than the short term jobs of the Ruby Pipeline.
VIASPACE Signs Agreement with German Biogas Producer RuBa Energie GmbH Giant King Grass Growing in Europe for the First Time
IRVINE, Calif., June 14, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- VIASPACE Inc., a clean energy company growing Giant King(TM) Grass as a low-carbon, renewable energy crop, today announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with privately held RuBa Energie GmbH, an owner and operator of biogas electric-power plants and provider of bio-digestion and biogas energy solutions. As part of the agreement, a test plot of five acres of VIASPACE Giant King Grass was planted at the RuBa facility in Kevelaer, Germany on June 6, 2010.
VIASPACE Increases Giant King(TM) Grass Production Capacity Leases Additional Acreage for 25 years
IRVINE, Calif., June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC) -- a clean energy company growing Giant King™ Grass as a low-carbon, renewable energy crop, today announced it has increased Giant King Grass production capacity by leasing an additional 34 acres in Guangdong Province, China. The new land leased for 25 years is contiguous to VIASPACE's current land and includes the ability for irrigation. With the new acreage, just planted with Giant King Grass, VIASPACE now has 279 acres under cultivation to support its expanding needs, including commercial production of Green Log™ fireplace and campfire logs, supplying seedlings for planting additional acres to support large biomass projects, and manufacturing biomass pellets for replacing coal in electricity generating power plants. Green Logs, manufactured from Giant King Grass, are the Company's first commercial renewable energy/biomass product and are now available for sale through a U.S. distributor. Manufactured fire logs represent a $400 million annual market in North America. With more than 100 million logs—made primarily of wood chips and sawdust—burned each year, VIASPACE sees a substantial opportunity. Green Logs are the most environmentally friendly manufactured log available, and Green Logs generate greater heat output than conventional logs. Its non-chemical, natural campfire aroma makes it even more appealing. The VIASPACE acreage also acts as a nursery, which can provide sufficient seedlings to plant more than 10,000 acres of new crops per year to support partners' annual needs for biomass for their power-generating projects. VIASPACE is in discussions with potential business partners operating in China, Europe, India, Indonesia and other regions, where their biomass power plants have been built or are under construction.

This sucks.
What sucks more is that it doesnt matter how public you make this.
Until we the people decide it is time to make the government change by whatever means necessary, it, and all other horrors will continue.

A second government.
When they established our country and our government, there was no way for those men to wrap their minds around what this world would look like now or how populated it would be.
They knew that corruption was inevitable, but set up the constitution the best they could to attempt to restrain all effort and put the power into the peoples’ hands allowing them the opportunity to eliminate corruption at its roots when need be.
Now that the world has changed it is up to us to continue that fight.
I believe that setting up a second government is crucial in maintaining an efficient government that serves the people. star. That way if our current government goes too far, they can step in, take over, and reset us back to the beginning allowing us to correct any mistakes that occurred due to our lack of knowledgeable foresight.
I believe that this way is the most efficient and responsible way to protect our country and our freedom.
As for not knowing enough, I personally am tired of sitting back and watching. Something needs to be done. So, 15 years after I graduated from High School, and three kids later…I am going back to school. I just started back last January. I figured it’s my job as an adult, as a mother to do something about it. I intend to go to school as long as I can afford and do my best. Ideas only go so far it takes education and will to take it to the finish line.
