  • @ssj7warrior but bill gates not long ago on ted talks

  • @ssj7warrior you mean effect, as far as what is the best crop yield i dont know that's interesting though

  • @isawanangel2 Really!? Algae grows all over the place, they already use in it foods today, Payday candies have the contents of algae. Corn could be better used as food instead of fuel but it is the best as combustable power is concerned. Did you know that millions of pounds of animal fat is thrown away? That can be converted to biofuel. It called beef or animal tallow. what about used vegatable oil? That's a winner by me and so is solar energy. How will those cause starvation?

  • @ssj7warrior nope biofuels/algae will cause starvation, why do another corn fiasco, the futurists are saying no, i just saw one this morning

  • Coal is a good power supply for WV but I would say that Bio fuels would be better and safer. I am for the balance of Coal and Bio Fuels.

  • Good God! Blankenship looks just as evil as he's said to be! I hope Kennedy doused himself in plenty of holy water before stepping on that stage.

  • blankenship is a pig and is worthless human, throw that republican pig in the jail....

  • *neurological - I hate typos.

  • Not Parkinson's and not heroin (though he was certainly a heroin user at one point in the 80's). It's a nuerological disorder called spasmodic dysphonia.

    Blankenship's arguments about the economic impact of coal in WV are solid. But with alternate energy sources gaining ground, and China becoming a leader in that field, we have to have a better strategy for the future than just staking out coal and defending it at all costs or we're going to end up too far behind the curve to catch up.

  • @nclusiau

    No, not Parkinson's desease, but shooting up heroin for years.

    I have seen this out of many US troopers coming home form Germany. Their brains are fried.
