"Clean" Coal is a myth, how can it be clean if it's being burned? The total damage from burning coal would be far worse than anything wind, water, or solar energy would do to the enviroment! It's non-renewable and releases tons of CO2 (all the time) where as solar energy (for example) uses a small amount of CO2 from factories to make. SO THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CLEAN COAL!
Clean coal to burn if it could be invented. What about the whole blowing the top of mountains (mountain top removal) to get the coal?
Burning coal is bad, but the method still somehow legal that is used to get coal, is almost worse.
Blow the top off a mountain to tap veins of coal, so they do not have to pay people to do it. Just trying to save a buck they blowup mountains and push the rubble into the nearby valley.
coal is not clean literaly its dirty to the touch! not to mention co2 emmisions + water quality damage + loss of mountains. but thats already been said, germany produces as much wind power as nebraska could potential create, its just whos paying for theese peoples campaigns
lots of damage :( plutonium extracting and refining damages the environment and takes lots of energy, and like coal non-renewable. dont even get me started on the waste i live in washington where hanford is the place with all the nuclear waste spilling into the columbia river :(
So? Mining aluminum for windmills damages the environment. Creating the synthetic lubricant for the windmills put out TONS of CO2. Windmills are still incredibly complex, and can break. Not to mention the people that die every year to keep them going.
Also, nuclear waste is SOLID, not like in the "Simpsons." I have no problem dumping it into continent convergence zones. Where it will be turned into harmless metals by the time it resurfaces.
yeah you also have to mine alluminum for cooling towers or whatever metal it is, and then divert mass amounts of water from rivers. i see your point about wind turbines and solar panels also take alot of energy to create, and have toxic chemicals. what power i would advocate for is, tidal, wave, micro-hydro, methane from waste treatment plants, and landfills, along with in general reducing demand the most easy to acomplish

WTF.. there is NO such thing as clean coal! Get rid of all coal and nuclear power plants! They're BAD! We need more wind, solar, and waste-to-energy power plants!
Shame on all Republicans! -Barrack (h) Obama is out spending John S. McCain by a margin of 3:1 in all battleground states. This, together with the bad economic situation, explains McCain's numbers in the polls. If McCain has to have a fighting chance, concerned citizens should at least make a minimum contribution to the McCain-Palin Victory 2008 compliance fund now! Its now or never! Otherwise be ready for a thugocracy under a President Obama. Go to JohnMcCain(dot)com NOW! Pennsylvania!
Good comment, Abujahl007! Now is the time for all conservatives and moderates to donate to the McCain/Palin campaign! Let's not go down without a fight!
Socialized medicine leads us to socialism. Reject the path to impotence and helplessness, and maintain America's status as the greatest country on Earth. Vote for John McCain on November 4!
I, in fact, was born and raised as a republican. Then I started paying attention to what they were up to and the consequences the American public is suffering because of them. They don't care about us hard-working middle-class Americans, they just want to make sure they stay rich and keep getting richer -at our expense.
Open up your eyes, people. Wake up. These little audio and/or video excerpts (if they are even real) are not even in their entirety, and these tiny clips are being taken out of context and mispresented purposefully just to fool you.
The only reason I can think of that anyone would vote for McCain is that they are born and raised republicans and they have not been paying attention and they have not been doing their homework.
I was raised a Democrat. After studying all the parties in the early 90s- I became a conservative.
Obama's pro abortion. McCain may not be the greatest, but Obama's policies will destroy this country. Anything that makes the government bigger is something I will be against.
So lets sum up Obamas Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to federal prison. And the guy who got him his only administrative job and put him in charge of doling out $50 million is William Ayers, a terrorist.
Why did Obama put up with Ayers? Because he got a big job and $50 million of patronage to distribute to his friends and supporters in Chicago... like Jeremiah Wright..amazing
Obama played the Sarah Palin card. Buy only saying what his views were witch may not answer a question.But he rehersed it well. Still his plans won't change a dying economy only our counrty self providing it's resources and finally changing our jobs availability will.Paying more here and less there won't do much.Since stock is going down still because of world economy.Obama has no military experience and both parties agree we are still walking into a mine field with alkida.Mccain/Palin for Pres.
when the fuck will we not be using coal? within the next 40 years?...keep sucking off to that decrepid old man...developing alternitive energy is to all of our benifit....but whatever fuck the future
Dummy, when will solar - or any other "alternative source" of power - be a realistic replacement for fossil fuels?
50-60 years from now. How are poor people supposed to heat their homes and cook their meals between now and then? D'OHbama's smooth words don't burn well and not much good for anything else.
Oy, you are ignorant. Geothermal heating/cooling electric generation can come on line in large parts of the world in 1-5 years. Wind can take on a large chunk of electric generation in 1-5 years if we just get down to building it.
Efficiency/conservation can make a huge difference (approaching 50% in many sectors) literally as soon as tomorrow.
Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good. If geothermal can supply 20% of a regions energy needs (and it probably can) then you should go for it especially since geothermal electricity can be used for both both baseload and peak power so that can back up wind power. There are numerous other option for non-geothermal regions. U R just too lazy to think of them.
CCS is still a long way off from 'cleaning' even 5% of coal exhaust. It probably won't reach that level for 10-20 years. Too late.
We can't completely abandon fossil fuels overnight but we need to put dwindling supplies to work building the stuff that will replace fossil fuels. If you were jobless with only $1000 in the bank then it would be pretty stupid to spend that money on movies and junk foodinstead of resumes, healthy food, and bus fare to job interviews.

Sarah Palin paling around with terrorist PUTIN. Watch "Ties between Sarah Palin and Alaska Independence Party' Google: Palin as the Treasonous Trojan Horse for the A.I.P. the Alaskan Independence Party that wants to make Alaska into its own country and sell off its oil to the highest bidder. They don't want to be a part of the UNITED States of America, but want to secede from the Union. AND THEY HAVE OUR NUKES UP THERE! Copy, spread this to everyone.
John McCain and Sarah Palin understand that we must explore all kinds of solutions to our energy problems. We cannot simply continue to rely on foreign oil. But the Democrats always stand in the way of using our own resources here in the U.S. It's crazy! Vote McCain/Palin!
Jesus diden't tell us to lay his cross down out side the voting booth when we vote please take his cross in with you when you vote on November 4 and use your morals !
Yes coal can be used and limit emissions via scrubbers. It is time to utilize US energy supplies. Electric cars are great at not emitting emissions. However, the batteries put into them generate pollution to create them and recycle them. And power plants need to run on something wind and solar are not reliable enough to keep power plants running 24 hours x 7 days a week.
He could be back, but seems to concede state to Obama
& they are going to keep Palin out of the main stream media, the republicans are running away from people!!!..I told you that a week ago keep palin from talking to the media just have her go out there wave and smile and say nothing...that is your republican party's best bet to win.
McCain will leave you when things look bleak too Colorado
Obama had 94 opportunities to side on the people's side and reduce taxes, and 94 times Obama voted to increase taxes or not support a tax reduction — 94 times.
23 were against proposed tax cuts, 7 were "for measures that would have lowered taxes for many, while raising them on a relative few, either corporations or affluent individuals", 11 were to increase taxes on people making more than $1 million a year, to help fund programs such as Head Start, school nutrition, or veterans' health care...
.... 53 were votes on budget resolutions or amendments that "could not have resulted by themselves in raising taxes," though many "were clear statements of approval for increased taxes"
- The total includes multiple votes on the same measures
sigh... Another lieing Mccain Ad... HAS NO CITATIONS OF OBAMA....If anyone was smart enough to hear what obama has to say on clean coal... HE HAS SUPPORTED IT...
McCAIN and BUSH are so poorly thought of within the Republican party that they REFUSED to go along with them on a vote they had already promised.
OUCH!! That's got to send a huge message to McCAIN, his own party doesn't support him but then again, the Republicans NEVER wanted McCAIN in the first place, only moderate Repubs. Now they're stuck with him and his pet pig Palin
As I Republican, I will be proudly voting Democrat for the first time in my life. I've lost all respect for McCain and his love for putting politics first.
We don't need four more years of the same failed policies.
obama also has ties with ACORN...that is NOT good for America. He also has ties with Ayres who bombed America and later said he wished he'd done more...like I guess meaning he wished he was the one that took down the twin towers...he didn't elaborate.
Major politicians and the coal industry use the term "clean coal" to describe technologies designed to enhance both the efficiency and the environmental acceptability of coal extraction, preparation and use, Wikipedia.
Americans need to vote out every lying crooked democrat, that means all democrats out of Office ! Wake up, they are bringing Our Country to Our Knees. Whatever they don't steal, they get paid to protect those ripping US off, take the earnings of Hard Working Americans and give that money to those who think we owe them a living and pocket what is left over. Please help get these democrat crooks out of Our goverment ! Pro Patria doughboy
doughborne - what the fuck are you talking about? the reps have controlled the country for 6 of the 8 years. Only in the past 2 have we gotten somewhere reasonably better.
You know what I'm talking about, how about ACORN that they tried to slide into that bill and the money the democrats have been taken for years through fannie and freddie, why don't the democrats use some of the money that they have been paid off with to save US, They won't they can only rip US off and protect those who rip US off too ! Pro Patria doughboy
ACORN isn't really an issue anyone except her brings up. We are in the middle of a economic crisis and asshole republican majority and stupid jerk democrats failed to vote a bill that could save us. Call your congressman/woman and make them work! Stop bitching about dems and reps!
No, thats the point I am trying to make. The media plasters Palin's words all over the news, but when Biden says something wrong, you never hear about it.
I think it's fair to say that Biden needs to have his mouth handed to him. He rips on McCain endlessly.
But at the same time, Palin should drop out. At this point, everyone will understand. There is no way I can vote republican if neither of the candidates know anything about the economy or handling international politics through negotiations.
If you havent seen already.....VERY damning videos PROVING the Democrats are liars when it comes to the economic crisis w/Fannie & Freddie. Make sure to pass them to everyone you know. Version 1 had over 1 million hits in 4 days!
Vote Obama - Obama supports closing all coal and other enviromental producing evil energy producing plants in the US. Stop Global Warming and Big Oil - Support Obama.
Heres an impression of a Republican congressman "Someone hurt my feelings so thats why I voted against bailout; just spite them (and american people)". I'd love to see IQ test given to congress; both parties would score quite low, but I bet GOP scores lower.
Ahh, a mind reader. So What was the reason behind all the democrats that voted no? And who decided that their presidential ambitions were more important than doing the job that the people of Illinois elected him to do in a crisis situation?
This was a Republican bill, put forward by a Republican President and over 2 thirds of Democrats supported it. The Republicans couldn't bring themselves to support it. It is the Republicans fault. Obama has been in constant contact with congress and whitehouse. Mccain was one who sabotaged talks in first place, to get different ineffective plan so he can take credit. I don't want to hear anymore of your partisan B.S.
This is probably the mentality of the members of Congress.. and the reason why nothing is getting solved.
Instead of pointing fingers at each other, they should be working together. But they're not. They're too busy blaming each other for the failure of the bill. And your mentality proves why.
So republicans who love laisse-faire, under-invest in everything apart from the biggest socialist organisaton in world US military, got US into huge debt, fights pointless wars, thinks drilling is going to help, and who become hypersenstive anytime one of them is legitematly attacked are not to blame. I think you need to vote in Palin. Shes got all knowledge on economics and bank practises to sort this mess out. America is laughing stock world.
In response to your partisan BS, the President called for non-partisan action on the bill and Pelosi responded by locking out Republicans on the final changes and delivering a very partisan speech blaming Bush and Republicans for the current crisis. This is ridiculous because Bill Clinton deserves equal if not more blame because of his National Housing Initiative and other housing policies and appointing Franklin Raines to head Fannie Mae.
Bill Clintons policies were risky; but lets put things in perspective. That is 16 years of Republican Congree opposing regulation and state intervention. Nearly 8 years of Republican President able to create a record surplus to a record debt and under-invest in everything. American public consistently vote in idiots from nixon to now; and now they oppose a bail out because of there stupidity. US public deserve what they get. Lets hope you don't bring down rest world with their stupidity.
You have an interesting, and untrue, view of history ckerton. It was Clinton appointees that pushed lending institutions to make very risky loans to people that were bad credit risks in the name of "Urban Renewal". They did this with threats of fines for "unfair lending practices" when compared demographically to the federally subsidized Freddie/Fannie. Clinton also appointed the heads of Fannie/Freddie, who mismanaged and robbed them into oblivion.
I still think hes the better choice because McCain really does change his position all the time but in the meanwhile it seems to me that Obama isn't as honest as it often appears. I'm relating to his "truth squads" for example.
In Germany we don't vote for our chancellor. He/ She is voted by politicians in the parliament. By letting the American people themselves vote, the campaigns stop focussing on issues and arguments. It's all only about winning the mass by manipulation and lies.
I am SO relieved I'm not an American and don't have to vote for either Obama or McCain. After all these lies and propaganda one doesn't know shit about what these people are planning to do. At first I trusted Obama because in the debate he seemed very sure of himself and clearly structured what he said about his goals and how he wants to realize them.
There are 80 coal burning American plants spewing pollution that affect us here in New Brunswick Canada hey thanks for sharing eh

Shame on all Republicans! -Barrack (h) Obama is out spending John S. McCain by a margin of 3:1 in all battleground states. This, together with the bad economic situation, explains McCain's numbers in the polls. If McCain has to have a fighting chance, concerned citizens should at least make a minimum contribution to the McCain-Palin Victory 2008 compliance fund now! Its now or never! Otherwise be ready for a thugocracy under a President Obama. Go to JohnMcCain(dot)com NOW! Pennsylvania!

I, in fact, was born and raised as a republican. Then I started paying attention to what they were up to and the consequences the American public is suffering because of them. They don't care about us hard-working middle-class Americans, they just want to make sure they stay rich and keep getting richer -at our expense.

So lets sum up Obamas Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to federal prison. And the guy who got him his only administrative job and put him in charge of doling out $50 million is William Ayers, a terrorist.
Why did Obama put up with Ayers? Because he got a big job and $50 million of patronage to distribute to his friends and supporters in Chicago... like Jeremiah Wright..amazing

Oy, you are ignorant. Geothermal heating/cooling electric generation can come on line in large parts of the world in 1-5 years. Wind can take on a large chunk of electric generation in 1-5 years if we just get down to building it.
Efficiency/conservation can make a huge difference (approaching 50% in many sectors) literally as soon as tomorrow.
katakanadian 3 years ago
Geothermal is extremely limited GEOgraphically. Sure, use it where you can but don't expect to use it in large, national scale.
Wind? Are you daff? Wind plants require a fossil fuel back, constantly running at 90% capacity... Is it really worth the cost?
We can completely scrub coal exhaust, and produce bio-fuel in the process though.
TedinLasVegas 3 years ago
Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good. If geothermal can supply 20% of a regions energy needs (and it probably can) then you should go for it especially since geothermal electricity can be used for both both baseload and peak power so that can back up wind power. There are numerous other option for non-geothermal regions. U R just too lazy to think of them.
CCS is still a long way off from 'cleaning' even 5% of coal exhaust. It probably won't reach that level for 10-20 years. Too late.
katakanadian 3 years ago
We can't completely abandon fossil fuels overnight but we need to put dwindling supplies to work building the stuff that will replace fossil fuels. If you were jobless with only $1000 in the bank then it would be pretty stupid to spend that money on movies and junk foodinstead of resumes, healthy food, and bus fare to job interviews.

Yes coal can be used and limit emissions via scrubbers. It is time to utilize US energy supplies. Electric cars are great at not emitting emissions. However, the batteries put into them generate pollution to create them and recycle them. And power plants need to run on something wind and solar are not reliable enough to keep power plants running 24 hours x 7 days a week.
