And how many coal-fired plants did our species build in another part of our globe(al warming? hello?) last year?

Ok, it's an article tainted with the typical progressive wash of made-up numbers and projections, but the objective point is still germane: every time we deny ourselves cheap energy, we subsidize our global neighbors in a competitive world.

It also underscores the very miniscule impact that the symbolic Kyoto Protocol would have had, had more dunces bought into it.

There's a reason why electric companies are called power companies. Don't you dare think for an instant that folks around us, who are less spoiled perhaps than we are, are going to burn every last lump of cheap coal, and every last drop of cheap oil, before they think about so-called "clean energy". Cheap energy is the same as power, had cheaply.

And also, be wary of the spoilt' nature of folks in the U.S. that has allowed us to focus some attention on alternative fuels. If our privileged status is ever in jeopardy, that's one commitment that will end up on the curb, with the rest of the trash. When people get cold enough, they'll burn what ever is in sight rather than see their kids freeze.

Human nature versus grobal worming. Go figure?

Luxuries here that are not present elsewhere abound. Concern over global warming is one such luxury in a world where most folks live short, hungry, and hot/cold lives. I recognize the danger inherent in my and other's behavior. I'm about to get up and turn up my thermostat, also. It's getting cold in here...

their continual whining WITHOUT solutions.
We have a power plant here in Schofield WI.
I wish I would remember to take my camera for a pic of it.
It has logs in a pile.
This pile is almost 1/2 mile long and several hundred yards wide.
OK, greenieweenies, these are TREES.
Did you hear ma??
I said TREES.

The same greenieweenies who whine about coal and trees and owls and and and have no functioning braincells with which to address nuclear power.
Yet they go on & on & on about every other type of power WITHOUT any solution whatsoever.

Of course, they are so afraid and misinformed by the scarers that they have no understanding of the realities involved wth a much much better system of power.
