Right. Let's empty your bank account first to try it, wiseguy.

“Let’s empty your bank account first to try it, wiseguy.”

It says in the article only $2 billion is needed to build one of these. That’s peanuts (Google alone has $30B cash on hand). If this were a no-brainer concept, one would think the private sector would leap on it. I’m all for clearing out whatever excessive regulations stand in the way of trying such plants out, but I think the history of government funding technology development is pretty dismal (remember synfuels plants under the Carter administration? How many taxpayer billions went down that rathole?).

This asshat is your typical Liberal, they still do not get that oil and coal is NOT just gas or electricity. Most all industry gets it's critical raw materials from Oil and Coal. Plastics, chemicals, etc, all are made from Oil. Coal produces Methanol and other critical components for industry. And above all else, without Coal, there would be no steel made for those Clown Cars that MaObama is mandating. Nor would there be Copper, plastics, carpet for the interior, or glass and rubber.

Do these idiot Marxists even begin to understand? (Dumb question.)

Even better, team up with China and do it together, for all our sakes.

What a nut!
