  Exxon's stance on alternative energy
Posted by: WRXtranceformed - 07-27-2006, 06:06 PM - Forum: Lounge - Replies (15)

I can't find the thread in which we were all talking about this, but I made this point and some people said that it was too "conspiracy theorist." Well, straight from the horse's mouth, the number 1 U.S. oil company making $1318 a second Exxon Mobil speaks out about it's stance on alternative energy:

Henry Hubble, Vice President for Investor Relations:
"There are very few that are economical without subsidies. We don't think it makes sense to invest in it at this point."

Sure, companies like BP are putting some cash forth, but I can bet you the ones that are aren't pushing it TOO hard, because they're running into the same thing that Exxon, the most profitable US oil company, is running into. Why would they waste money on alternative energy when they are seeing silly stupid profits from rising gas prices, investors, and conflicts in the Middle East?

Posted by: lillitnn92 - 07-26-2006, 01:33 AM - Forum: For Sale/Trade, WTB - Replies (12)

New Price $100, come and get it.

I'm a Bass player, so it's kinda just sitting here.

all info on this amp can be found here.

Quote:Modeled after the American tradition, our ULTRATWINs combine the tonal qualities of legendary twin amps with revolutionary flexibility of tone and I/O options including MIDI, plus built-in 24-bit stereo digital effects. The GX210 features a 2 x 30-Watt stereo amp, two original JENSEN ® 10" speakers and separate volume and effects settings for each channel with the same 3-band EQ in the master section. Both ULTRATWINs feature an onboard stereo digital effects unit with 31 awesome algorithms and 99 presets, as well as our innovative Morphing knob.

bought it a few years ago. it has never left the house, it has never played above 5 that i can remember unless i had the speaker switch off using the pre outs for recording direct into a mixer. basically it became a $300+ DI Box. it's a 10 out of 10 as far as condition goes. sound is good, but don't expect to get Slayer tones unless you use a stomp box. other than that it can cover a wide array of tones.
