Talk is cheap.

Lee — 11/8/2007 12:26:49 PM (archived)

So Mrs. Clinton wants to find domestic sources of power.

More domestic drilling? No

Developing oil shale and tar sand extraction technology? No

Coal? No

Nuclear? No

More hydroelectric? No

Guess that leaves rays of sunshine and gentle breezes to power our $15 trillion/yr economy. At least until environmetalcases find a flaw with them.

        If coal is burned properly... The only fumes are a CO2+ a little bit of pure C - TAFKASE - 11/9/2007 2:43:20 PM
        
        It costs money to burn coal properly, so that would be "economically irrational". (n/t) - alcaray - 11/9/2007 11:34:30 PM
        
        Opps I meant to type: If coal is burned properly... The only fumes are a CO2+ a little bit of pure S - TAFKASE - 11/9/2007 2:47:49 PM
        
        Now that I think about it...Even the S burns and turns into SO2 - TAFKASE - 11/9/2007 3:33:33 PM

        I used to work in a plant that burned coal for a large part of it's energy. - TAFKASE - 11/9/2007 8:10:53 PM

        Don't you think that's a choice that the burner of coal should make for themselves? - alcaray - 11/9/2007 7:16:46 AM
