And Obama’s “clean coal” policy…how’s that hoax moving along?

I’m glad that you appreciate that “clean coal” does not exist. If they would invest in the technology that had a chance of creating it, then Obama would be for it. Apparently they’d rather throw their money into ad campaigns.

Speaking of energy, why isn’t TP covering the Tim deChristopher story more thoroughly?

If you want us to discuss your thing, please cite it. You mean this? You’re referring to the 27 year old guy who threw off an oil/gas bidding action on purpose? I don’t see how what he did is bad for the environment.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant — and a great power source.

I am sorry but I do not see nuclear plants as the answer.
When are the republicans going to open their eyes and understand that Mother Earth has a serious problem and the humans are the reason?

When you look at the numbers, there is simply no way to get away from fossil fuels without most of the baseline power coming from nuclear. Solar and wind don’t even come close to meeting the energy needs and wave power is not yet fully developed. For the time being nuclear is pretty much the only way to go.

What prosperity are you talking about???? Citizens paying $4.50 a gallon for gas….that prosperity ??? or is it

the billions oil companies will loose over time becuase the nation will adapt to new sources of energy to power america?????

ANYONE IN GOVERNMENT WHO PASSES LAWS THAT BENIFIT ONLY CORPORATIONS SHOULD BE CALLED OUT FOR WHAT THEY ARE…FASCISTS!!!!!!

The more of those we have, the less we need coal, and the less CO2 is produced.

This is all they got? Seriously, this is the best argument they can come up with? “That bill is poo poo!” It’s like dealing with a two year old

I think that’s their strategy. You know how difficult two-year-olds can be to deal with. Maybe they’re hoping Democrats will turn out to be indulgent parents who give their two-year-old anything just to shut him up.

Wayne Ant Schneider Says:
We hear the Big Oil supporters say that the problem isn’t one of crude supply, it’s one of refining limits. Then they point out that there hasn’t been one new refinery built in at least twenty years. What they don’t point out is that several perfectly good ones have been shut down in order to artificially limit supply and, thus, jack up the price.

And of course they try to blame their failure to build new refineries on “environmental activists”. But not a single proposal for a new refinery has been turned down because of environmental concerns in the last few decades.

Oil companies want to maximize their infrastructure investments by locating their refineries as close as possible to the source of their crude oil. No oil company will want to invest billions of dollars in infrastructure in the US when the long-term forecasts for domestic supply are dwindling.

Mike Pence is supplemented by bad nuclear waste Rush and Laura Ingraham.
and
Joe Barton’s money supplements come from Exelon Corporation a polluter with their 19 nuclear reactors and 11 nuclear power plants.

Pence and Barton are HAZMAT’S that is, they want you to keep stuffing their pockets with high gas prices while ruining your health at the same time with high CO2 ‘emissions’ for which Americans can’t afford health insurance when they get sick and can’t breath clean air. The health insures will make billions off the these sick people who don’t have any options but to pay them when they can’t?

Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security Act is good for America!!

The (G)rand (O)ppressive (P)olluters = HAZMAT

AMAZING!

I thought there were supposed to be benefits to having huge majorities in both houses?
___________________________________________________________

Because bipartisanship is completely dead and gone, the only benefit is when the majority is significantly above that which is technically filibuster-proof.

I say “significantly above”, because a majority isn’t REALLY filibuster-proof until the number is high enough to allow for the party members who break ranks.

Study Cites Strong Green Job Growth

A new study says that the number of green jobs in the United States grew 9.1 percent between 1998 and 2007, about two and a half times faster than job growth in the economy as a whole.
