  Move on to coal

  Move off of foreign oil.  Get it locally, get (more) coal locally and use it (somehow) as fuel.  This isn't what most people (here) are going to want to hear but if most of the government is trying to fix the environment over the next 50 years.  We need to stabilize our economy before we are able to stabilize our ecology.  Bring things in house, pull back from the world community a bit, get our house together and then worry about getting the larger house together.  After we're able to stand on our own two legs we can start investing in ways to get ourselves off of the current "dirty" standards.On Coal lobbyists step up their game posted 1 year, 10 months ago 7 Responses

  Prince Who?

  Why does this matter?  He's a prince, he's not a 'scientist'.  This means about as much as any actor or politician (gasp) telling us their opinion.  If this article really sways your opinion on g.w. then you should take a hard look in the mirror.On Prince Charles appears as hologram to speak in Abu Dhabi posted 1 year, 10 months ago 3 Responses

  what about 40 through 149?

  What about countries 40 - 149?  What are they doing to improve their "greenness".  We do all the "damage" to the earth that we currently do yet there are 110 countries worse then us and the focus is that we're not the best out of 149?  I think we need to stop worrying about where we rank based on the rest of the world or, focus on telling the bottom 110 what they need to do to be as HIGH as the US.On United States scores badly in world environmental assessment posted 1 year, 10 months ago 6 Responses
