Corn oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, blended oil all contain 14g of fat & 120 calories. What is best to use?

Posted by admin on July 28th, 2009 and filed under oil | 6 Comments »

Blended cooking oil has soybean oil, canola oil, and one brand added olive oil in their blended oil.
All the cooking oils stated they had 0 trans fat.
Is there a difference in using one cooking oil over another kind? Is it just personal preference in selecting one of the different types of cooking oil?

Canola, Olive and Peanut oil are mono-unsaturated fats. Safflower, Sunflower, Corn, Soy and Cottonseed oils are poly-unsaturated fats. These all lower total cholesterol and LDL (bad cholesterol).

If I remember correctly, the mono-unsaturated fats not only lower total cholesterol and LDL, they also raise HDL (good cholesterol).

The Canola oil has the least flavor if you don’t want the flavor of the oil to be noticeable in what you are preparing – like a salad dressing. Olive oil has a flavor – medium to strong depending on the strength of the olive oil.

Any oil that is used for deep fat frying – every time it is heated, will gain more and more trans fats from the heat. So if you want to eat something fried in a restaurant, you’ll get less trans fats if your order is in the first use of the oil.

Hope that helps.

Is there really as much "clean coal" in Pennsylvania as oil in the entire Middle East, as Sarah Palin . . .?

Posted by admin on July 28th, 2009 and filed under pennsylvania oil | 9 Comments »

. . . . . claimed this morning in a campaign speech? And is she speaking apples to apples, as in a. this coal could be extracted, and b. an equal quantity of coal will do the same as the same quantity of oil, and c. the cost of production, etc.

This is obviously a very important issue. Has Sarah "found her groove"?

Yes, there are ample reserves of coal available under pennsylvania. The only issue is to develop the "clean coal" technology. "Clean Coal" refers to a process where by the carbon released in burning is greatly reduced by more efficient combustion or by being captured. It is not a refferance, as some beieve, to a special type of coal although there are different types of coal as well.
a. Yes it can be extracted just as it is now. It’s harder to get than pumping oil but its not too bad. b. equal quantity of coal to equal qty of oil is misleading, they are not the same thing. In BTU’s the oil is slightly higher but it’s heavier and messier. There have not been any horrible coal slicks suffocating sealions. c. Coal is great for what it is used for. You can’t use coal to power your car for example unless you employ coal to liquid tech but that then adds cost to the fuel price. The mining costs of coal are less than the refining costs of oil. Power plants use coal in most cases because the cost per BTU of energy is less.
As far as the middle east goes, they are running out of oil fast. 10-25 years at the current pace.

Which companies are providing oil to China and India?

Do China or India have nationalized oil reserves. Is Russia playing a part in fueling their oil boom?

Both countries have large oil reserves, but both now import at least 30% of their oil, and both have recently made big deals with Russia to build large expensive pipelines from Siberia. An oil pipeline running from resource-rich Russia to energy-hungry India and China is under construction.

In the past six months, Urals crude, Russia’s primary export blend, has plunged from a high of nearly $141 per barrel to a low of a meager $32.34 — a 77% crash that’s pounded Russian stocks like a sledgehammer and sliced through the Russian economy like a serrated sickle. On the heels of this crash, China and Russia signed a $25 billion deal for a pipeline, but many financial experts think that this deal will dissolve once the price of crude rebounds.

When will the trickle come to rest of american people that Bush and GOP promised us?

I saw the huge profits by the great big corporations…and for sure oil companies and many other made record profits…that part was true. And I did see the ranks of billionaires and multi millionaires sky rocket…that part was true as well. But trickle down economics says that its supposed to trickle down to the rest of us ordinary citizens and that the country as a whole would boom in great economic prosperity.

what the heck happened????? WHERE IS THE PROMISED TRICKLE???

The only trickle I’ve felt is from the CEOs standing over us with their flies unzipped.

what do title reseachers do on a oil boom work site?

Posted by admin on July 28th, 2009 and filed under oil boom | 1 Comment »


What a title researcher does is research the titles to the land to find out who 1. owns the land itself. 2. who owns the mineral rights to the land.
The #2 is where it gets sticky because in a lot of cases there will be a lot of heirs that own part of the mineral rights.
An example of that is: Say that a person dies and he or she has five kids.
The kids get together and sell the land but keep the mineral rights. What they did was sell the surface part of the land but they kept everything below the surface.

Still with me?

Ok! first the drilling company is going to have to deal with the land owner who owns the surface.
Second they are going to have to deal with the five kids who still own the mineral rights.
Now let’s say that one of those five kids had three kids themselves before they died in a car wreck.
Now the drilling company is going to have to also deal with those three kids as well.
So what a title researcher does is find out who all owns the mineral rights and who all owns the land itself.

That can get pretty sticky because there have been cases where a ten acre plot had over a hundred heirs, scattered all over the country, to the mineral rights. They all have to be tracked down.
That is what a title researcher does. He or she finds out who they are and where they live for the oil companies or in the case of coal mining the coal companies.
