"This is not an emergency as organic mercury can occur naturally in the environment..."
Pretty damned obvious that you had plenty of mercury in your diet as a child.

We've got a real problem with coal fired electric generation, folks.
We need the electricity but the crap that spews out of the stacks is poisoning the water with mercury.
I don't really know if we can have clean coal, but I do know we can have cleaner coal than we typically have right now, much thanks to BUSH II's assinine Clear Skys legislation.
Whenever you talk to enviromentalists about how inefficent solar and wind are they like to say that we Americans are inovators and inventors we can make it work. Why dont we take that inovation and make coal clean. Use science to make coal cleaner for all of us instead of using science to condem it. The truth is coal is a good source of cheap reliable energy that we can use to keep our country on top.

Really? Wind inefficient? Right now, in the US, over 48% of new generation is wind. And, in many places, it is cheaper than coal. That is even without considering the cost of coal on the health of our citizens.
Really? I'm not the cultist here, Roxy."This is not an emergency as organic mercury can occur naturally in the environment..."

If by "doing their job" means making sure all business relocates to a country where there are no epa regulations then yes, they are doing their job.
We need more mercury in our catfish, keep coal going!

According to the American Wind Energy Associations, wind energy made up 2.3 percent of U.S. electricity by the end of 2010, up from 1.8 percent a year ago.

You start factoring in maintenance costs and repair and things will change there.

OLdsocks stop bullshitting!
You said " in the US, over 48% of new generation is wind." NEW ENERGY... As in NEW not overall. I know it and you know it you unconscionable propagandist... That is a dubious statement giving a very misleading idea of wind energy generation in this country and you dam well know better than to try ad pull this shit again..
Of the energy generation in the US...
Wind turbines: In the wake of the wind
According to the American Wind Energy Associations, wind energy made up 2.3 percent of U.S. electricity by the end of 2010, up from 1.8 percent a year ago.
2.3 percent of the US energy comes from wind power, thats it... Lets try and not be a deliberate weasel next time shall we.... Bullshit wordplay and dubious statements misleading people like that are why you people are no longer trusted, try and better your rep instead of making it worse...

Stupid ass, what in 'new generation' are you incapable of understanding. As stated before, take some reading comprehension classes.
2.3 % of US energy is wind. That's it?
At the end of 2010, there were 40,180 mw of installed wind power. In 1999, there were 2,472 mw in the US. Now just try projecting that growth curve.

Gonna take a while to get to replace the 48% that coal provides of the almost 4 billion kWh we generate, isn't it?
Don't bust out the champagne just yet, Roxy.

Renewable is over 10% at present. Solar and geothermal have yet to be a factor. Were we to get serious about replacing coal, we could do that in a generation. We won't, and our children and grandchildren will pay the price of the willfull ignorance and greed of the present generation.

Bullshit. Coal plants are high maintenance installations. With a high output of dangerous byproducts such as fly ash, mercury, and lead.
Then you have to clean the site up once you are done burning coal. Not only that, the mining of coal is an environmental disaster where ever and how ever it is done. A windmill is good for twenty years, then you just pull down the nacelle, and put another in it's place, while the old one is rebuilt. And the whole time, it is so clean that they grow wheat right up to the base of the towers.
