Go "green" or go out of business. That is the message Congress wants to send to America's power plants run by coal -- and any and every other power facility for that matter. Congressmen after Congressmen have waddled forth onto TV and into print to wag a green finger at our power grid scolding it for being "too dirty" and not environmentally friendly. These politicians, you see, know better and they must be listened to. After all, they are trying to save the planet!
And to show how the folks walking the marbled halls of the nation's capitol care about the environment they are canceling the buying of so-called "carbon offsets" and announcing that they are abandoning efforts to further "green" the aging coal powered power plant that keeps the lights on, cools its halls, and heats Congress in the summer.
Yes, while they are attempting to force the lowly, great-unwashed people of the country to "go green," they themselves are abandoning their own efforts to do so. The folks of the Democrat controlled Congress are nothing short of green hypocrites, see them at their greenpocrisy...

We surely are not supposed to be surprised are we? All of the talk about green energy is just that....talk. It is not going to hit home with the masses until either they cannot pay astronomical energy bills or they have rolling blackouts. There simply is nothing to replace the coal fired plants despite all of the environmental insistence that we switch because they say so.
