I doubt youenze have windmills in your yard or solar panels on your houses. Not until you turn you heaters down and your lights off will the demand of coal go down. You should be thankful for MTR so you won't freeze in the dark.

Where can I sign up to help the coal companies? I love mountains and would love to have some of the removed dirt in a glass jar as a reminder of how great our coal industry is and how great the mountain was.

The Bush administrations has been in bed with with large corporations and they have been screwing people over because the money talks to them. The bigger these corporations get the less government will do something. To quote Melissa Etheridge at Live Earth "What happened to us America?" And here's the answer. We fear the government when it's really needs to be the other way around. "'That government is best which governs least." I'm not promoting chaos, I contribute to peace. Bless you all.

And just so you know that's a choice for me not to drive a car.

[EscaraFoxGirl]

I hate to tell you this but I don't own a car, nice one slick... And George bush may not have vetoed them but he she as hell doesn't help enforce them in fact most of the government doesn't... You can go and look up all the little stories about how they've violated the law and no one did anything about it because the people there are poor and you know how it works if you don't have the money you don't have the power

[eltacobell5]

wow. congress has passed so many bills surrounding this topic and has george bush vetoed them? no. so get back in your prius and drive off a damn cliff.

[EscaraFoxGirl]

Actually that's not true bush has only just recently addressed the problem and he's not even REALLY addressing it because oh yeah he and his friends run the oil companies and that would be bad for profit

[eltacobell5]

what alot of people think is that our government isn't donig any research into cleaner more enviornmentally friendly energy sources, when really thats one of the govs main concern. people always say "we can stop using coal and oil!" but really, its a long prcess to change from coal to oil. it can't happen overnight but it is happening.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Matthew 6:10-13
