Global warming may inundate all the low-lying areas of the world, destroying vast swaths of prime agricultural, commercial, and industrial property, and turning Wyoming into mosquito-infested swampland; but that will be nothing like the havoc that would ensue if all fossil fuel energy sources became unavailable without a replacement.

If you want a secure energy future, folks, it’s coal or nuclear that will carry the first 50% of the load. Pay your money and pick your choice. You gotta choose at least one. And if we wait thirty more years, we’ll have global warming’s curse without hope of the benefits of sustainable energy. We need to make tough choices now. There is no free lunch. Coal liquefaction is probably a sensible part of the energy security portfolio.

The good news is that sustainables, especially wind power, are currently attractive. Large investments here, can make room for an increased carbon footprint for other fuels.

Looks like our intrepid leaders are on some sort of secret mission: how to pull off global suicide for planet earth.

Filling valleys in Appalachia with mine tailings sure inspires with coal company best wishes. They just want to HELP.

Instead of Wolfowitz, make the CEO of Exxon the mayor of Baghdad. And make some coal company president his pointman. The Commander-and-Thief can be their third — more than Blackwater gave Scott Helvensten.

Give them an ‘up-armored Humvee’ and a map of their route, two other things Blackwater failed to give to that Navy Seal and his crew.

Yep. George is hitting the bottle again. Someone please take that key away from the White House liquor cabinet!

Ethanol is a scam by oil companies to make more money, you waste more energy growing crops, processing it into ethanol, shipping, and storing it that it’s a very great net energy loss.

Not to mention it costs more and gets worst miles per gallon, and also creates a smog that might potentially be worse than pollution we have now.

By the way, tranny, so you are all for being subservient to OPEC? You would rather listen to those dirty arabs than actually break our oil habit? By “our”. I mean the US’s, not whatever country you are from.

And while I’m not a tin hat type, the trolls really do come out in force on almost every global warming topic. They parade all of the standard arguments of obfuscation and apathy. Of course, the end result of what they suggest is continued profits for Exxon and company. … I’m just saying. :)
