Do you think Sarah Palin knows what BTU stands for?
Edited on Tue Sep-16-08 09:58 PM by Botany
I shouldn't post this because somebody might try to brief her
that is stands for British Thermal Unit and it is a unit of energy
(power) to describe heating and cooling loads.


She is dumber than a bag of hammers .. I heard her today for 30 seconds.

2. What is that?
Is that a Russian word?

If it's Russian, I'm sure she'd know. Surely, she can hear her Russian neighbors
talking with each other, over her fence.

3. She's an energy "expert", right?
1. What does BTU stand for?
2. What percentage of America's annual oil usage is thought to be available in ANWR?
3. Can you name the nations in OPEC?
4. How much of the US's energy does Alaska produce (she keeps failing on this one)?

Edited on Tue Sep-16-08 10:05 PM by Botany
British thermal unit

the proven reserve of ANWR is roughly equal to 6 months use at
current loads .... no oil would be seen fron ANWR for at least 8 years
if they gave the go ahead tomorrow

Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and the UAE .... I know I am missing some.

It used to be much of the Alaskan oil went right to Japan .... I think it was over 1/2???????

11. I am reminded of...

The con man spoke of "British Thermal Units" and Archie explained to Edith that we traded a few destroyers for them...
