What kind of crazy group says hydropower isn’t renewable? This whole thing looks like a big payoff to some high dollar lobbyists for “green energy companies” who can qualify their businesses as green. Do the idiots outnumber the shysters in Washington, or the other way around?

This is a coalition among a referendum that will require all parties to convene for strategy. This epitomizes a thinktank. The government and its recipients ought to come up with a comprehensive plan that would clean up the air and simultaneously improve technology. Our future is contingent among our not only common sense but innovations in our technology.

i AM AGAINST THIS IT WOULD SEND COST OF FUEL OUT OF SIGHT BUT KEERY AND GORE ARE MULTI MILLIONAIRES THEY CAN AFFORD THIS THERE IS NO GLOUBLE WARMING THE SEASONS CHANGE EVERY 100 YEARS OR SO ALL THE SCIENCEIST I HAVE HEARD ON TV AND WHAT I READ THAT GORE MADE 100 MILLION ON IT IF THEY GET CAP AND TRADE THEY WILL MAKE MORE MILLIONS. THIS WHOLE THING IS A SCAM. AS LONG AS WE HAVE REID. POLSI AND KERRY AND BOXER IN BED WITH THE PRESIDENT THERE IS NOT MUCH WE CAN DO IF WE CAN HOW?

No cap and trade tax. Just dig the oil damn it. Americans are
taxed to death already at the gas pumps. We will revolt. No more
lawyers voted into congress.

Somehow we must get through to the Washington establishment that:

1. We must drill, drill, drill. We need to develope the offshore resources.

2. We need to start using more natural gas not only for electrical generation but also transportation.

3. We need to renew our Nuclear energy efforts. This is the REAL way to become energy independant from foreign sources.

4. Wind and Solar might help SOMEWHAT, however they will never be able to supply even a small portion of our needs.

Driving west last week on Interstate 40 near Amarillo, Texas I passed a large wind farm that literally stretched for miles, and most if not all of the windmills were turning. Returning east three days later only one or two of the units was working, demonstrating the utter unreliability of this method of power generation. It quite clear that conventional fossil power stations would have to kept going on a stand-by basis to maintain some semblance of reliability, again increasing cost. The so called clean coal system is almost as bad, although it will give a dependable power supply albeit at the inflated cost that comes from having to build and operate an oxygen plant next door to the power station, burn the coal in oxygen instead of air and then capture the carbon dioxide,and compress it in the new compressor equipment next door to the oxygen plant and pipe the compressed gas away to some distant location for underground disposal. The pipe line for this is also new of course. Look for electricity rates to double or even triple. It would make more sense to examine the greenhouse gas myths in a more scientific manner than has been done so far. The current reports that are the basis for the cap and trade proposals were written by believers who had prepared their conclusions before starting any of the research.
