When are they (the environmental folks) going to realize that “water vapor”, not Co2 is the major “culprit”! LOL!
The gooberment is already trying to force all this environmental crap down our throats even though the stolen e-mails proved the sham and the shame some of our political folks are still hammering into laws! Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi and several others have invested quite a stake in renewable energy so of course they want to see THE MONEY!!! Let’s not forget the millions Gore has already made by venturing in this direction!
Duke energy made the news by stating that they want to use trees in NC and SC to replace fuels when they can no longer burn coal. Are you for real? Trees lower Co2 and help low lying areas from getting flooded during the rainy seasons. There wasn’t one word about replanting trees that are harvested in the article. This also seems so counter productive-—like moving back to the cave dwelling era.
Most of the utility companies have announced price increases (though they just got one recently). I had to laugh at the reason they are stating that they need a price increase in my area. The reason-—not enough consumption! Huh? Wait a minute...All of us folks have had to live with “odd” and “even” days to use the water for lawn care, etc. and now you want to raise the price to flush the toilet because everyone is conserving resources at your request? How is a 15% increase justified for that?
Wait till this all becomes law and there will be a lot of people upset that they support the “green” issues when the wallet is empty and they have no money to pay the bill with. Can you imagine what a person will have to pay if a pipe breaks under their house? Imagine that it breaks at their house while they are at work and there is no one there to shut the water valve off until they get home-—yikes!
I can’t help but to wonder if the environmental folks are completely sane. Yes, I like a clean environment but not at the expense of having the government regulate everything connected with the environment. Can’t we do the sane thing by planting more trees, not dumping in our oceans/riverways, keeping litter picked up, and recycle reusable waste? The fact is, industrialized nations are still cleaner than 3rd World Nations. If you want to continue to make Al Gore, Nancy and others more money....keep moving on the environmental bandwagon but beware that the cost is only going to rise for you to turn a light on or flush the toilet. The politicians have already promised to keep hitting on this subject (just as they did Health Care) until they can make their money at the expense of every average American person in the USA!
