Samson's right!!! Coal is great!!!
Fossil fuel power station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U.S. government scientists tested fish in 291 streams around the country for mercury contamination. They found mercury in every fish tested, according to the study by the U.S. Department of the Interior. They found mercury even in fish of isolated rural waterways. Twenty five percent of the fish tested had mercury levels above the safety levels determined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for people who eat the fish regularly. The largest source of mercury contamination in the United States is coal-fueled power plant emissions
I notice how none of the conservative posters have addressed the national security issues associated w/ relying on importing oil from the Middle East. This action, by proxy, also enriches people like Wahabbist's in Saudi. Of course the Repubs have no problem w/ Islam?
I wonder if the hand-wringers, that would be you, realize that if we could marginalize the liberals and rely on can-do folks, that would be conservatives, we could solve the so-called 'energy quandary.'
The United States is the Saudi Arabia of coal...
Whenever a poster starts with "liberals = bad; cons = good," rest assured some horseshit is about to follow.
No. I'm saying stop subsidizing them and allowing them to write expenses off if they are so superior to other forms of energy. OH! and don't send soldiers into countries that are known to be living primarily off of oil revenue. That reminds me. How much is Vietraq going to cost after all is said and done? $4 trillion? $5 trillion. BTW- We still won't know if it's going to work out for years to come AFTER we leave. That's one helluva subsidy.I notice how none of the conservative posters have addressed the national security issues associated w/ relying on importing oil from the Middle East.

It's not conservatives' fault -- it's liberals'. You don't want coal, you don't want nuclear, you don't want us to do anything to get off foreign oil.
There is no Magic Energy. To insist we shut down all fossil fuel production and usage before an alternative is developed and proven to be feasible, economical, and scalable is quite simply stupid.
Get it? It's YOUR fault.
I think you're just oversimplying. If the US developed cost effective green energy sources, the Chinese would follow suit. That old notion that the Chinese will be burning coal and gas no matter what happens isn't really all that sound.Wow....1997 just called and wants their worn out anti Kyoto talking points back.
"Worn Out?"
Gee, I didn't realise Common Sense had an Expiration Date.
The real problem I have, and I'm not saying you're one of these people, is folks who hear somebody even utter the words C02, solar, or electric car, and imediatly launch off into "you're a liberal!" "there is plenty of oil and coal!!" "oil and coal don't really pollute!!!" "global warming is a hoax!!!!" "no need to even examine the subject!!!!!"
Samson's suggestion is to overlook the poisoning of the environment. F'ing brilliant
According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the risk from mercury by eating fish and shellfish shall not be a health concern for most people
1.Do not eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish because they might contain high levels of mercury.
2.Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury. Five of the most commonly eaten fish and shellfish that are low in mercury are: shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish. Another commonly eaten fish, albacore or big eye ("white") tuna depending on its origin might have more mercury than canned light tuna. So, when choosing your two meals of fish and shellfish, it is recommended that you should not eat more than up to 6 ounces (one average meal) of albacore tuna per week.
3.Check local advisories about the safety of fish caught by family and friends in your local lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. If no advice is available, eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) per week of fish you catch from local waters, but consume no other fish during that week
Okay. And while you're at it, let us build new nuke plants and drill for our own oil.No. I'm saying stop subsidizing them and allowing them to write expenses off if they are so superior to other forms of energy.

Workers vacuumed and soaked up pockets of oil along a 20- to 30-mile stretch of the flooded Yellowstone River in Montana Wednesday after as much as 1,000 barrels of oil spilled from a ruptured Exxon Mobil Corp. pipeline days earlier.
More elitist talk from the left who want to make energy so expensive that only the rich can afford it. I heat my house with coal every winter. We burn a ton or more every winter. I used to mine coal until the EPA refused us permits.
We are in a wonderful posistion to gain energy indepedence while working on alternatives. No one beileves that coal will last forever but we need to use it while we work on those alternative.
Common sense dictates that we use what we have and work on the energy of the future and thanks to coal we have a long time to work on that alternative.

I did not claim that coal was a miracle fuel but it is what we have its efficent and cheap. It has brought energy and drives our economy.
But like I said I dont oppose alternative energy but we cant stop fossile fuel right now and go green. The technology is not ready or proven.
