The Leader of the Don't Drill Democrats in the Senate declaims against two giant and productive industries that employ hundreds of thousands of Americans. His full statement:
"The one thing we fail to talk about is those costs that you don't see on the bottom line. That is coal makes us sick, oil makes us sick; it's global warming. It's ruining our country, its ruining our world. Weve got to stop using fossil fuel.

Find one person outside of a coal miner who died from coal. I can find hundreds of people who die every year from heatstroke because they cannot afford to run their air conditioner.

Actually, Harry, it isn’t the coal, it’s just Democrats!!!

This would have a GREAT impact if only McCain was against Global Warming. He has missed so many great opportunities to put this election away...if he didn't play Johnny come lately with the Democrats' ideas

Actually most probably run from Hoover dam...Built of concrete. The active ingredient which is portland cement.
Portland cement is produced in coal fired rotary kilns.

Obama and biden not on the same page:
Biden Favors Clean Coal In China; Not For US
That was from Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Obama backed away from that statement....a bit....
***************************EXCERPT from the link*****************
This isn't good news for the Obama campaign since Sen. Obama has said that the US should increase clean coal reliance.
The takeaway from all this? The Democrats are all over the map on this - and will say one thing to one crowd, and the opposite to another crowd depending on how the issue polls in those areas.
As Ben Smith further notes, Biden was on the global warming junk science bandwagon from the outset. Biden also makes it clear that China continues building coal power plants at a prodigious rate. He wants to see them build clean coal power plants in China. The problem is that he supports clean coal in China but opposes it in the US even as he acknowledges that the atmosphere is global - whatever is emitted overseas can and does affect the atmosphere in the US. What Biden really envisions is curbing US energy output, an eco-leftist dream and a nightmare for the rest of us.

They seem to think that turning off the pump will immediately solve all or energy problems. Tomorrow, if every oil well and coal mine were shuttered, the laws of physics will suddenly split apart like Moses and the Red Sea, cars will run on hydrogen, the electricity will be generated by solar panels and the planet will heal. They are starry-eyed lunatics who have absolutely no clue as to how things actually work. They are truly dangerous people whose plans will literally wreck the entire world economy and then we will have a more huge problem than we started with,
Like the USSR's forced collectivization and rapid industrialization let to millions starving, the forced liberalization of the U.S. will doom us.

A large portion of the output from the Hoover dam is transmitted to los angeles...which also imports huge amounts of electricity from the Pacific Northwest.....

It’s kinda like my run-ins with OSHA. Anything that can form metal can also harm humans therefore manufacturing is bad.
Energy is bad.

To: uglybiker
True. People don’t realize that power is just one thing derived from coal. Plastics, medicines and all kinds of what have become essential items come from coal or coal fired processes. Even producing the steel for wind turbines requires coal. The public in general seem to be uncritical and uneducated nitwits who can be led by the nose.
