Subject:
Global Warming.
So why is EXXON again under the microscope for denying that global warming
exists? Especially now that Donald Trump is considering an edict that any of
his cabinet members denounce the Gore Hypothesis. And let's also take into
consideration for debate the fact that the next Secretary of State, maybe to
Mitt's dismay, may be the existing EXXON CEO. This scrutiny is made possible by
the fact not fiction that the "Tiger" is an "Energy"
company and smart in its denial syndrome - it's a calculated risk. See, had a
giant energy conglomerate accepted the notion that "man" is
contributing to the unprecedented "warming" trends, then that would
have signaled a forced retreat away from conventional fossil fuel energy resources
- which means the EXXONs may become a thing of the past. It ain't never going
to happen, don't hold your last good breath of fresh air. EXXON employs the
best and most brilliant scientists money can buy. It performs research on all
kinds of things, as long as that research promotes the bottom-line, profits
through the continued use of fossil fuels - like gasoline. Fossil fuels, with
emerging technologies, well will heat our homes and boil that morning coffee
water for many more generations to come - as the infrastructure from here to
there exists. Just keep that fossil fuel in those pipelines - as an example the
potential of "gas hydrates" as the next viable energy source. Like
said before, the fossil fuel infrastructure exists, just need the hydrocarbon
based fuel to extend the life of that investment. "Gas Hydrates" are
found around the globe, a methane based fuel stock stuck inside "slush".
In Alaska, with "Big Oil" along with the DOE in tow, it was proven
that the hydrate methane could be extracted from the permafrost. Obama funded
this "mission"! Yes, this "fire ice" is what the Native
Alaskan's called it, some 2000-feet thick and so abundant with
"methane". So when conventional sources run out, like crude oil and
natural gas, it will be ready to be mined. And this stuff is found in all
oceans-11 and rough estimates indicate enough to go around at present "fossil
fuel" consumption for the next 100-years. It is everywhere. So for a
company like EXXON, with $trillions$ in investments, "Global Warming"
acceptance negates the mission statement. Now of course many EXXON scientists
and executives realize that "Global Warming" exists, and that
"man" does contribute a fair share of the cause that effect, but
silence the truth and denial are a golden opportunity. If fossil fuels continue
to dominate, so will "Global Warming" be an issue to contend with, as
such fuels are only useful in a combustion process wherein heat is liberated
along with carbon on the loose - the culprit. We use the heat exchange, but the
carbon is stubborn and gets away. Yes, gets away and that is wherein research
demands respect. See, for some 45-years
by now, EXXON has been experimenting with the "missing carbon" phenomenon,
wherein scientist can measure the carbon release from manmade pollution sources
then should be able to simultaneously sample the atmosphere for a representative
characteristic sample. What goes up comes down in that sample test tube. It
doesn't work, as there is a huge discrepancy between what is puked into the
environment and that which is measured - thus the "missing carbon"
theory finds credibility. Now according to Phineas J. Whoopee, fossil fuels are
quite sample in its chemical makeup - carbon linked with hydrogen through
nature's dominance theory. So EXXON went on a field trip, to find out what was
happening with this "carbon", as that was the main constituent of
carbon-based global warming pollution. Why this interest? Because if that
carbon can be retrieved, since it is but a fancy molecule wherein the hydrogen link-chain
had been busted, well it still exists as something "valuable" as
nothing was actually modified "chemically speaking". It lends itself
to a convenient piece of the puzzle for synthetic fuel manufacturing, by simply
adding hydrogen, and that can come from the "hydrates". So simple "Fire
Ice" methane can be forced to work with the "captured carbon"
and produce value added products like cyclohexane and dodecane - which will run
your car engine without knocking. Yes, EXXON found out what was happening to
the "missing carbon" soon to be called the "captured
carbon" theory, or carbon sequestration. It was being trapped in geodesic
dome like compartments - called Bucky-Balls, after Buckminster Fuller. So now
EXXON is researching advanced "carbon capture" technologies, to not
only retrieve the "Balls" but DOA any loose carbon and through
fuel-cell technology unite the carbon - well it means conventional fossil fueled
power plants will become more efficient. As it amounts to 1/2 the natural fuel's
ingredients, and like said before, it was already once a
"hydrocarbon" by nature, so can easily reform through some moderate
manipulation and produce complicated fuels like Buckminsterfullerene. But in
efforts to make EXXON like profits for the next 100-years, the threat of "Global
Warming" must persist and force the use of this technology. It's like the
+ and - of a battery. If I take a gas hydrate, extract the methane and add some
of that missing now captured carbon allowed by the use through licensing of
EXXON intellectual property, the circle be unbroken. So by NOT admitting to
this carbon based "Global Warming" warning, it maintains the status
quo which satisfies the "shareholders", even with the inroads of
renewable energy. Look, EXXON didn't survive this long being Mr. Nice Guy, it's
all about the profits and even when this technology breaks wind, the
"Global Warming" will find a ways and means to entertain the
$millionaires$, it will remain a threat that supports the Wall Street return on
investment opportunities. Oh, this technology exists today, it's proven in the
lab. And as soon as renewables starts to interfere with that profit margin reaction
set-point, say when solar takes a 10% bite out of the fossil fuel habit, then
we will see this technology breaking wind and making a fuss. Yes, it's all a
calculated risk and part of that don't miss the profit margin calculation, and part
of that Al-Gore-ithm is when to attack to attract attention! So I guess Trump
can blame Obama, as this technology was discovered under "his watch"!
But I "Betcha", now that Sarah Palin is Trump's "Science &
Technology" advisor, that giving credit wherein credit is due is but a
joke quote lost cause.
