These ads have plastered the local paper, yet I've heard virtually nothing about these proposed plants.

Is there no end to the sleight of hand being played in Texas?

I agree, no more coal plants, build nuclear. I you really want to reduce CO2, nuclear is the only way. If you have an agenda, then my guess is they will protest everything, just because.

Are they going after Bejing also?

China is responsible for the huge growth in greenhouse gasses, mostly from coal fired plants.

Big government tiptoes past taxpayers again ping!

Note: Think I'll make this an 'official' ping list. It appears it could become high volume. Just p.m. me if you want off, thanks.

Oh, but didn't you know that China is doing that only because we started all this economic growth? It's really our fault - oh the idiocy on the left.

But Al Gore gave China a pass on pollution doncha know?
They are still a "developing" nation.
Only the big bad capitalist polluters in America are responsibie for paying for global warming and pollution.

Clinton and portions of the McCain-Feingold, I'm told, are proposing to limit internet and journalistic discourse.

They want to stop us from finding out about these things. As usual, a few bigwigs will be getting very, very fat unless we do something about it now.

TXU needs a bottomless pit of cash to counteract ALL THE FREE PUBLICITY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA gives the environmental koo-koos' leftist, socialists ranting and ravings.

Remember, conservative/Christians, the socialists didn't perish after 9/11--they just had to shut up for a few years to regroup!

Was that after he invented the internet and before he discovered global warming?

We've got plenty of coal here in the US so let's not use that. Instead let's continue to buy oil from people in the middle east who hate and would love to kill us all !!!

I agree with going to more nuclear power plants but to do it right why should follow how the Japanese have done it. Standardize the plans and don't design a new plant for each proposed site.

Amen, that is the model Europe has used for 40 years.

The plants are designed based on generating capacity needed, they don't reinvent the wheel with each new plant.

What is wrong with 9 new coal fired power plants in Texas?
I heard about this proposal a couple years ago and I live in Missouri. Nobody is hiding anything here.
As with any domestic energy program. Environmental wackos will attempt to stop development and increase our dependence on foreign oil.

I wonder if owning a "cave" timeshare would be appealing to environmentalist wackos. If so I know there are a lot of caves available. Cash only.

Will the ping list be called the BOTI ping list (bend over, take it)?
