The oil, coal and the natural gas has been in the friggin' long before man descovered he could use it as a source of fuel. All that man is doing is recycling it through our auto engines, power plants and feeding the residue to the trees in the form of Co2. Man is doing his job correctly. You just don't see the beauty of it because you are too wrapped up with the trash talk of the enviros to see that the planet has been getting cleaner as a result of free market forces. Something that the government could never hope to match. Your focus is on the propaganda being spewed out by richly funded enviro groups like the Sierra Club to notice that all they do is shoot their mouths off and do very little to clean up the planet. They are too busy promoting socialism to bother with cleaning up the environment. Why haven't they been promoting nuclear power? It's cleaner, cheaper and safer than coal and oil. Wind and solar are a step back into the dark ages. - Lee Sat, 07 Mar 2009 20:21:16 +0100 http://thenewamerican.com/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/849#comment-701 Why can we not make the people who manufacture things enforce them to be able to nuturelize the things that they make. We have poluted our world in many ways and our childrens children will die for our abundent ways we have found kill ourselves and polution in our world is getting beyond it's life giving ability to maintain our human life. Yet we strive to find another world to destroy. Lets fix this one before it cannot be fixed. Within a hundred years our foolishment of our belief we are the best will start to falter and we will slowly degrade to the lower form of life where we started. People just cannot seem to see where we are headed with our warming of our earth. Like the rockets we send up that burn holes in our atmosphere we cannot rpair, to the coal we polute our land with so we can harvest it for power. Each day we gather ourselves closer to our own death by this earth we have been in charge of to care for. She will be a rebel we cannot control unless we start to understand what we are doing wrong and it seems as if protest is where we start. Since it seems as if people will not listen until it is stuffed down their throats or we finally start to die off and then an OHOH will not help. - Roy Sat, 07 Mar 2009 18:45:35 +0100 http://thenewamerican.com/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/849#comment-698 Only four hours for such an "energetic, committed and singing 2500."? So little dedication for such a "committed" mob to "block every exit and entrance of the Capitol Power plant" is it? With good weather the mob could have prevented any of the plant's employees from leaving. Interview a mob? or a mob-ee? This is really a story about obstructing people from going about their business isn't it? It's a story about a protest mob, perhaps with funds provided by tax exempt foundations, to get media attention to turn the lights out on everyone. Creating electricity in a coal fired plant kills people the wrong way whereas people getting killed at a wind turbine accident is somehow a good death. Question:Why are you here? Answer: "To block anyone from going in or going out." Question: What's wrong with coal?: Answer: "It's unclean and it's evil and it kills people the wrong way." If you were a reporter sent to interview people praying in front of an abortion clinic would you reasonably assume that people were there to persuade women to turn away from those clinics? Would your story read: "Women gathered in front of the Capitol Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in an effort to counsel confused and scared women from killing their children." As a responsible reporter you are concerned with life. You just came from a protest at a coal-fired power plant and the people there are "pro-human' and they see coal fired power plants as a threat to life on the planet. You are a crusader for life so naturally you'd feel a rapport with the women kneeling and praying in front of abortion plants and would be interested in their views wouldn't you? - Lee Sat, 07 Mar 2009 07:44:28 +0100 http://thenewamerican.com/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/849#comment-690 As one who attended the Monday action and the inspiring event Sunday night at George Washington University with 1500 people, I have a few questions for William F Jasper. Does the F stand for fibber ? Did you observe the energetic, committed and singing 2500 who joined Gus Speth (Dean of Environmental Science at Yale) and effectively blocked every exit and entrance of the Capitol Power Plant for 4 hours before leaving with no arrests? Did you bother interviewing and getting to know any of the 12,000+ students who came from every state to learn ways to create better energy systems? I suggest you work harder at this writing job or maybe get a job helping create something good. The power is shifting, you might consider rethinking your words and heart. - Michael Lewis Thu, 05 Mar 2009 21:43:48 +0100 http://thenewamerican.com/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/849#comment-649 This is truly funny i wonder how stupid these greens felt when mother nature decides to dump several inches of snow on their stupid and rediculous protest. Kind of like that classic 70s TV ads for CHIFFON MARGERINE with the lines ITS NOT NICE FOOL MOTHER NATURE wow i bet they wanted some hot cocoa - Flu-Bird Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:13:52 +0100 http://thenewamerican.com/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/849#comment-639 "Which scientist said 'Solar and wind power, which can provide only tiny a fraction of the power our industrial society uses and needs'." John A, here are a couple of articles by Ed Hiserodt that might help answer your question. They were previously featured in The New American. http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1077581/solar_power_not_the_brightest_idea/index.html http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Blown+away:+wind+power+is+floating+high+on+the+political+winds+as+the...-a0168397213 - patriot Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:19:43 +0100 http://thenewamerican.com/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/849#comment-637 Which scientist said 'Solar and wind power, which can provide only tiny a fraction of the power our industrial society uses and needs'. - John A Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:15:09 +0100
