What Obama isn’t mentioning there is that *there is no clean coal technology *that can replace existing coal plants. That technology is decades away, and until it appears, what we have is what we have to use.

Then we have Palin:

Palin promised the crowd at Marietta College that her ticket will “not let that happen to the coal industry.”

“Instead, we’ll make *clean coal a reality and to help power the American economy with clean coal technology, *we’re going to be looking to the hard-working people of Ohio and West Virginia and Pennsylvania.”

So both parties are laying the future of coal power plants on the existance of “clean coal” technologyt that does not exist? Yea, expect both sides to flog the crap out of that difference.

… is that Obama himself says in that interview that his policies would make electricity rates skyrocket

That’s on top of a couple of other smaller increases over the last year. Coal is used to provide the nation with 50% of its electricity. This last month I used less than half the electricity I used for the same month last year, partly because of crappy light bulbs that do save a little money, partly because it’s cooler than last year, partly because I know how to hang my laundry on a clothesline instead of using a clothes dryer. Unfortunately, my bill didn’t reflect that half usage. It was the same as last year.

So, if you want to double your bills or do without it altogether, go ahead and vote Obama and give him is big Dem majority in Congress to screw you.

must be built. If you really want to cut green house emissions then nuclear is the way to go. What about waste?

Waste:

The most pressing environmental concern facing the nuclear industry is the issue of waste disposal. All processes produce waste. Nuclear waste from a power plant is unique in that it can be highly radioactive. While highly radioactive waste is hazardous to all living beings, nuclear fuel is amenable to containment, treatment, reduction and reprocessing (recycling). Processes have been developed to separate reusable fuel and the highly radioactive elements from used nuclear fuel. The waste products can then be made into a glass or ceramic waste pellet for disposal. The hazard associated with this pellet has a expected duration of about 100 years. Considering that chemical hazards maintain their nature indefinitely, this waste form may be preferable. Currently, such a waste treatment process is not being utilized in the United States because of political resistance; however, research continues to find new solutions to this problem.

For your morning enjoyment: Palin kicks Obama/Biden in the face …

Moe, the image of a “kick in the face” might provide “morning enjoyment” for some folks (too many folks?) … but for a large number of conservatives (and I am one of them) that kind of language displays lack of manners, indulgence of anger, and overtones of violence … which are exactly the qualities that have led many people to be disgusted with the politics of anger and ignorance.

And it is no excuse to say “they do it too” … because that’s the way children make excuses, not adults.

So may I respectfully suggest, Moe, that you amend your post by deleting the “kick in the face” language.

Are you sure you, StudentOfLincoln, are not taking that headline a bit too literally? Your comment will simply give the BO minions a reason to comment about how divided Conservatives are.

I’m not sure why you take issue with the headline rather than commenting on the gist of the article, but please try to focus on the issues.

The point Sarah made was simply that Clean Coal Technology must be a part of the future of energy in the US. BO cannot be allowed to bankrupt the industry.

is an energy policy every American should know about in the next 24 hours. In his own words:

“Bankrupt the coal industry”. Half of our electricity. No nuclear. replace it with nothing.

“Energy prices will skyrocket.”

“$5 a gallon gasoline doesn’t bother me.” No drilling for oil. Take the bus.

We will be lucky if it is only $5 a gallon.

I HOPE they can get the word out.

Of yellow cake uranium were secretly moved out of Iraq in August and sold to an energy company in Canada to be used for Nuclear Power. Shame we didn’t keep it for ourselves, apparently. Obama and his keepers might really fukk up! Guess it’s so we have one more thing to rag Bush about. heh. Yep, His troops sure found a huge chunk of WMD, now didn’t they? And managed to get it where it needed to be without incident. The truth hurts and so will Obama.
