CO2 Emissions from U.S. Coal-Fired Power Plants - 3Ceco.com

As relics from the carbon age of the 1900's America still sources more then 50% of its electricity from heavy CO2 emitting coal-fired power plants - more at www.3Ceco.com

Fuck off you idiot.

The Sun is more active than it has been in 8,000 years!

The Sun has doubled its magnetic field in the last 100years!

Wake up!

Mars has warmed 0.5c in the last 40 years.

Neptune's magnitude has shot up from 7.95 to 7.8 in 40 years.

Pluto has also warmed 1.8c in the last 30 years, (even though it is moving away from the Sun in its orbital path now).

What did you expect Earth to do?

You, Hansen, Gore and all the other alarmists are idiots.

They fail to say that CO2 isn't a pollutant. If CO2 IS a pollutant, why do plants need CO2? Why do plants at nurseries grow faster when CO2 is injected into the greenhouse if CO2 is a pollutant?

What they also don't say is that it has been proven that the average temperature on other planets rises and falls along with the average temperature on Earth. So what is common to temperatures on Mars and Earth? THE SUN.

9000 scientists have signed a petition saying climate change is isn't man-made.

@planetintelligence LOLOLOL o man you just made my day.

@67tr876 Big ass wind thing... nice. You should put down your beer, turn off UFC, put something other than your wife beater on and go get educated. It's precisely this lack of knowledge that has prevented wholesale restructuring of our energy systems. First we need an informed public to drive political change towards solar, wind and geothermal. The wind stuff, as you so eloquently put it could be offshore wind farms, where you won't see it and subsequently, won't have to 'fuck it'.

[Allante715]

How many wind turbines does it take to replace one coal fired plant. 1000 thousand wind turbines are an eyesore if you ask me.

[67tr876]

@LightningT5 i dont want a big ass wind thing in my back yard. so i hate the wind stuff. fuck it

[LightningT5]

Production to be doesent sound greatly enviormentally friendly, also there has been some talk about a wind farm being produced somewhere North of Scotland like the Shetland Isles where multiple quarries would have to be dug before wind turbine installation

The Body of the Windmill is Carbon fiber made from oil, and steel that is manafactuered using "coke" (coal) or petro coke(oil) and then their is synthetic rubber(oil), Plastics(oil),and silicone parts(oil) and because it has moving parts it needs to be greesed(oil)

Not to mention the machined to make the parts are run by electricity from Coal, Oil, or gasoline generators, then they need to be transported by Trucks/Ships (disel) to the sites and Assembled by Cranes(disel)

Getting off Oil?

[bluetwinky]

Emisions from wind power are essentially negligible. One can draw this conclusion without a great deal of trouble. There are capital costs with all types of electrical generation and associated carbon emisions. However the overwhelming majority of emisions are from fuel burnt or in the case of nuclear from the processing of ore.

[LightningT5]

I'm all for Renewable Energy such as Wind Turbines, Tidal Energy, Solar Energy.etc, and I do agree Coal is a very old way to get energy, but in producing a Wind Turbine for example, how much CO2 and other emissions are produced? And if that was the case what would be the payback time?
