Another fine example of Washington forcing laws and regs on the public but grandly excluding themselves. If anyone needs flatulence control, it’s Washington. :)

 

Welcome back Smitty. I thought you were one of those who was “accidentally” band during the changeover.

It's a voluntary program. Who new a cow let off as much methane in a day as a car? Kind of a silly issue, but a perfect example of the types of articles that Smitty posts that I mentioned in the other thread.

Good one Nash. However, I think the solution would be to house all cattle and horses. Then set up some expensive methane retrieving system whereby the final step would be to somehow introduce it into our gasoline products. We could go a step further by retrieving from our very own fart fans which are now city code. It could also be bottled and burned in your Coleman stoves and lanterns. The oil companies should love it.

It would also come pre-scented.

Well conceived, sir. Now all we have to decide is whether we let the IRS manage the program or revive Solyndra to handle it.

Looks like they're trying some sort of voluntary program. I'm not sure what it is, because after using the title to try and make the left look as stupid as possible, the author didn't actually mention anything about the plan itself.

Did we read the same article?  The one I read never stated any thought of it being a "volunteer" program.  But -- by volunteer are you saying that they want the cows to volunteer to expel less methane??   Or -- are you saying that this is a volunteer program like when obama said you can keep your doctor if you want and keep your health insurance plan if you want concerning obamacare?   But, I/we will be glad to listen to any proof you have concerning this being a "volunteer" EPA program...

Actually, the "article" you read mentioned nothing about the policy after making a big deal of it in the title. I followed the link to the EPA website, which said it is voluntary. Some of the "mental giants" on here choose to take everything at face value that some of these propaganda sites wish them to believe.

You are right, it does say voluntary: "In June, in partnership with the dairy industry, the USDA, EPA and DOE will jointly release a “Biogas Roadmap” outlining voluntary strategies to accelerate adoption of methane digesters and other cost-effective technologies to reduce U.S. dairy sector greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020."  But, what if they don't adopt these strategies?  The mental giants referred to, though, are those in the administration that actually think this is a problem.  You know, with all the problems in the world!

Voluntary... a scary word when used in any new government program.

You are right!  Remember -- the income tax is "voluntary!"   BUT -- we know that's it's actually not! 

As a side note:  Does anyone know why the government has to say the income tax is voluntary??

Thanks, Mat.  No, not band.  But, I did band myself.  I just tired of the typical liberal responses to every subject.  You know, "democrat good, Republican bad!"   Hopefully things are better now.

    • A few Board of Regents agree for sure. Some administrative changes were based in large part on those moves.  Sam Houston is the only one this remotely did any service and of course they moved on as well. 
    • The greatest point on all of this, and exactly what makes it a great day in SE Texas is the commercials are over!!!!  Phelan wasn’t all bad, Covey wasn’t all bad, but by the end of it I would have voted for Brewster’s “None of the above!”  Politicians serve their own interests and everyone’s politician is bad (except for theirs of course).  I personally am for: 1) Higher fuel prices, 2) More taxes and restrictions on private property owners, 3) Cancelling student-loan and even credit card debt, 4) Covid restrictions (bring back masks) 5) Giving more tax money away to countries at war (except Israel), 6) Tearing apart the nuclear family 7) Supporting college kids to protest anything and everything they want with no consequences, 😎 Higher and higher food prices 😎  Go Biden/Harris - just MASA (Make America Soft Again), Beto for a high-cabinet spot.
    • Thanks for the info, I didn't check the primary vote count.  I was posing that, based on anecdotal evidence, many who did not vote in the primary showed up for the runoff, and apparently voted for Phelan.  My next door neighbors were two that voted runoff only and voted for Covey, so it went both ways I guess.   The Houston Chronicle posted quotes from Covey accusing many Dems of voting in the runoff.  Obviously if they were able to vote in the runoff then they didn't vote in the primary, unless the voted in the Rep primary to begin with of course. .  "Covey’s campaign released a lengthy statement after the results came in, calling Phelan an “Austin swamp creature and King of the Democrats.” The campaign accused Phelan of courting Democrat voters in Jefferson County to bolster his early vote numbers, but Covey did not say he would seek a recount." Anyway, it looks like it's a done deal, until November. 
    • WooHoo, the RANGERS win today 6-1 and win the series with arizona. 1st series win in the last 6. Maybe things are starting to change!!!
    • That is what I thought but I figured you folks would be able to find it for sure. Was a little tougher back then with fewer teams in the playoffs.
