Oil-gotten Gains and the Global Glut
Antonia Juhasz does not suffer fools gladly...Is it possible that most Americans think President Obama has a great big tap labeled 'OIL' on his desk and all he has to do it reach out and turn it in order to show White-Christian-Men who's boss. Well, they probably don't exactly 'think' this; Alas, they probably feel it.
Safety First!
According to the Oregon Department of energy's Nuclear Safety Division, in the event of an unanticipated 'Event', you won't need an evacuation plan - No! Wait! Don't panic! - because there isn't going to be any such 'Event'. Well, Okay...there actually have been a few roll-overs, but nothing "got loose", so to speak. So don't worry. Do you need to know when nuclear shipments are rolling through your home town? In unmarked containers? Late at night? Of course not! If you did, said containers would be clearly marked and the high school marching band would be deployed to escort the trains through during lunch hour. But you don't. Currently the containers no doubt sport hand-written monikers: 'Red Hot Mama', 'Death in Venison', 'Bend Over'.
So don't panic.
