- Newt Gingrich schools “The Left” on scientific credibility | The Zingularity
The moral and ethical trainwreck that is Newton Three-wives Gingrich took to the podium this week and let us lefties have it over our stubborn unwillingness to accept modern science and the spirit of discovery. I kid you not.
(RightWingWatch) — The Left has believed for at least forty years now in a concept called Peak Oil that says ‘gee, we’re about to run out.” Well, it turns out that our reserves in the US, because of new technology, which is something that the Left rejects – they don’t believe the Wright Brothers invented flying, they don’t believe Edison invented electric light, and they don’t believe we’re about to invent the next generation of interesting things.
[…]
…And does Gingrich even know what Peak Oil means, that it’s a tried and true empirical data set based on simple facts of petrology and extraction techniques, or that it’s used by reservoir managers all over the world to maximize yield and profit margin? Because the way Newt used that term, it sounds like the good Professor may have confused Peak Oil with oil depletion.

Newt KNOWS exactly what he is talking about or he would NOT be saying it!!! Obama and Chu KNOW exactly what he is talking about…it appears that YOU are the ONLY One who does not know? If for one minute the Speaker was not completely RIGHT on this subject Obama and Chu would NOT have back tracked on all of their statments! And they have…they are NOW calling for the Saudi’s to DRILL MORE? IF more drilling will NOT solve the problem then what is the difference WHO DRILLS MORE?? The diff is that if WE do it we are not going to be dependent upon them AND we get the jobs that result. People seem to believe that our involvement with OPEC can never be changed? Do not count on that!
