  Bury coal in the past

  Coal and oil have altogether been good friends to us, providing the energy to power and drive our consumptive dreams and generously putting off repayment of that debt for decades and more, but the time has come for oil and coal to collect.

  Granted, we will be dependent on oil and coal in the years to come. The transition to a renewable energy future will be slow, but it is without any question the future indeed. Why put it off by going back and asking for even more from our old friends when our new friends (wind, solar, tidal) are offering us a better deal? The time to make the transition, to make a commitment, is now, not tomorrow.

  That's all I have to say for todayy. I've written more about coal, oil, and the tax windfalls they've enjoyed here.On Coal insider reveals the truth about carbon sequestration posted 2 years, 2 months ago 45 Responses

  Coal and Oil are of the past

  Fossil fuel corporations like to rely on the illogic of saying that what is must always be. Coal and oil are and have been the foundations of industrial society for as long as industrial society has existed, true, but that does not suggest that today's world is inevitably tomorrow's as well. Today is the day we move away from coal and oil, tossing off that dusty cloak forever.

  I was writing about exactly this thing in more depth the other day on Frog King's weekly message. Don't you think it's time to move on from the past?
