there is so much bullshit in this its hard to know where to start. you sound like a politician too.
and people in the west are still freezing and having govt sponsored rolling blackouts. what did you fix today?
your prescious govt is causing this. there are plenty of business that would love to make electricity, be it coal, nuclear, rivers, tides ect. but the big eared dumbo chicago thug wont allow them.
does the name salazar mean anything to you? yes, he is the clown that shut off our ability to do anything on govt owned land oceans, deserts, you name it.
and the people are still cold.....
Our money would be better spent on developing the solar industry because the coal will be gone before the sun will. Sustainability is key to the future of our world. Why invest on coal infrastructure when 200 years from now all the coal will be dug up and burned?
I like the shooting all the horses before car is invented. Good stuff. The real problem here is population. Too many shitheads making babies they don't need. You wanna make a difference? Get an abortion. When all the natural resources are gone, and the world population as 20+ billion, things will work themselves out. Hell, dinosaurs eventually turned themselves into oil. People will do the same.
because where i live, over 50% of houses are heated with coal. a large amount of business like wise, and almost all our electric is coal generated. coal is now about 165 a ton when it should be about 80. the feds just shut down a local because he didnt have the right alarm rig. this guy and his family have been mining coal for well over a hundred years.Our money would be better spent on developing the solar industry because the coal will be gone before the sun will. Sustainability is key to the future of our world. Why invest on coal infrastructure when 200 years from now all the coal will be dug up and burned?
part of number 4 is bullshit. oil is readily available everywhere. midwest, alaska, offshore, but dumbo wont let us drill.A few simple facts:
1) If oil prices go up, people will buy cars that get better gas mileage and that will fuel manufacturers to build more fuel efficient cars.
2) Oil prices will go up from lack of supply or government action to cause prices to go higher.
3) America has enough oil to run itself without outside help for hundreds of years.
4) America has more oil than the rest of the world does. It has trillions of barrels of oil shale. It is not economically feasible to use it until the price hits a certain point. It requires a large investment that only makes sense when oil goes over a certain price - we are very close to it now. Over a trillion barrels of this oil is in one spot in Colorado. More in the Dakotas.
he still thinks the moon is made of green cheese but no big dealYou really think Every Drop of Oil is from Dinosaurs and old Plant life?
you really have no idea how much of this country is powered by coal. you really should read more.
here is a clue
a waste of time huh? your dumb.
and thats not even how much more homes are heated by coal. yes, dummy, they deliver it to homes and you shovel it in a furnace. dopey.
and americans are still freezing....
well what would you suggest we replace it with? magic fairy dust? there is not currently a viable alternative. you are acting like we just switch over asap. aint gonna happen cuz there is nothing to switch to.less than .2% of american homes are heated by coal. That statistic was from 1997. I can imagine that with the housing boom, that number is far less. I still don't get where you are going?
You only proving our reliance on inefficient, dirty, consumable, and finite power sources. Finite = only get more expensive over time.
Yes it is a waste of time and investment.
everything about jeff is illogical. the very statement: "who cares about what happens in 200 years" shows lack of foresight.... it is because of this type of mentality that other countries are booming while the US staggers... but he'll blame liberals, taxes, arabs, muslims, socialists, kenyans, mexicans and the government...... if it lets him sleep at night....I never said not to use coal and I know we already do. The point is our money would be better spent and create cheaper energy if we spent money on solar power. Cheap energy is the key to this problem. Sooner or later solar will be cheaper than coal and it will take the market.
Why not advance our country past the fossial fuel age and position The U.S . at the top of the market making jobs and making cheap energy.
If you don't agree with me you are being completely illogical.
