Are you sure? It looks suspiciously like what I found when I opened that old jar of grape jelly the other day.....
Then there is the LIE we are running out of fuels, with the sudden realization that NOT burning FUEL WILL cause mass starvation and warfare, some of which could be nuclear.
(Just a minor change there. You've been listening to the propaganda from ABBCNNBCBS haven't you?)
We have over 300 years of coal proven available, but will probably find something else within 20-45 years. Might even be fusion, might be better fission plants, might even be a part from solar.
There is NO energy crisis - other than what Washington liberals have created. Deliberately.
“Then there is the LIE we are running out of fuels.”
The probability of fussion ever being viable is extremely low, yes we have coal reserves, but much of them are hard to reach, of lower quality, or extremely destructive to the environment in removal. I have contacts in WVa and the hilltop removal there is terrible to behold as to consequences. I sold underground coal rights in Southern Illinois more than 20 years ago as did many others, but the coal is 800 feet underground and of inferior subbituminous grade. Having burned anthricite as a child, I know there is a big difference. Oil shale and tar sands are another very dirty source. Our best hope is the rapid development of cellulosic ethanol and algae biodiesel as well as wind and solar which my fiance has been following in great detail.

Actually, I think it is a giant peacock. ;)
Yeah, kind of like cropping Mentos into Diet Coke!
I'm getting to where I can't even type anymore!
