Yeah, ska-rew that.
Drill baby drill!
Where the ZOT Kitty?
These people are evil. They shut down nuclear, then coal, now want nat gas.
Big progress in the fight against air pollution and global warming? You bet.You bet on that, I’ll the other side of that bet. I had no confidence in the “science” cooked up by the noted seminary-school dropout from Tennesee, even before it was revealed in the Climategate files that the “science” was being propped up by politics and had no visible means of support. But even that is beside the point. The thing that proves that you have made no progress against global warming is that, if AGW does exist, we are doomed anyway because China [is] now burning as much coal as the rest of the world combined - and China is stamping out more coal-fired power plants like cookies.
Tireless advocacy by many made it happen. But I must confess that our fight was made easier by the sudden emergence of abundant natural gas. Simply put, the economics of new and existing coal plants are poor at today's natural gas price.If you want to actually make progress on reducing global CO2 emissions due to electricity generation, you better hope that natural gas is produced full throttle - and exported to China.But you must forgive my cynicism about your (referring to the author of the article, not to ROCKLOBSTER, who didn’t even post, much less agree with, the article) intention to do anything other than to damage the US economy by energy limitation, as surely as the Army Air Force wanted to destroy the German economy during WWII by energy limitation through the bombing of petroleum infrastructure. That is the message that comes through loud and clear when you attack fracking. It’s not the side effects of electricity production you object to, your real animus is against energy production which is useful to the American people.
