Waking up a 4 year old thread to ---> Lame
Tacoma Said - If Scott he asks you to go on a hike, ask careful questions like "Is it going to be on a trail?" "What are the chances it will kill me?" etc. Maybe "Will there be sack-biting ants along the way?"

How about instead of bitching about dirty coal we ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?! You've got a democrat in as president, what's your excuse? Why isn't he DOING anything about it?
Clean energy is just a load of crap that liberals like to bitch about, but when time comes to put their $$$ where their mouth is they shrivel up like an organic sun dried tomato.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

I don't think this really goes along with the topic of the thread. You kindof tried to tie it in but failed miserably. It is rude to bring this up on a thread about a person dying and throw out "what's even more important...". Do you honestly believe that carbon emissions are more important than a death?
Wait... Is this Sombeech playing a joke on us! There is no way this is real. Bahahahahahhahaha you got us!The man thong is wrong.

a few things -Jehnavi - two thumbs down to resurrecting a four year old thread. Jaxx - no selective googling - you surely have got better computer skills than that!
rock. I totally agree with your first sentence. we should do SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I just failed to see what you thought that something was doing, unless it was somehow tied to ranting about how stupid those liberal, democrat, sundriedtomato F@!#KERS are!
I guess it just made me realize that it makes me sad to leave in a world where more energy is spent everyday talking about what douchebags those liberals/cons/republicans/commie/lefty bastards are up to, than coming up with at least a couple of solutions to the few things we can at least agree need some changing.Tear down Dams, Build up Dreams!

NOT feeding the troll here - I'm pretty passionate about the topic.
What you're seeing here is my frustration at the LACK OF ACTION in the clean energy debate. Nobody is more disappointed and pissed off that nothing is being DONE about it than me. I think jehnavi has a valid point about the impact clean energy would have on not only the environment but the local economy, global economy and overall health of everyone on this planet. I am so gawdamn sick and tired of seeing us talk talk talk talk talk about and then do nothing about it. I cringe every time the subject is brought up by politicians, environmentalists, and lobbyists because I know its just more hot air...more smoke and mirrors. We LOOOOVE to talk big about clean energy but we abhor investing the requisite amount of time and money to see it through.
And now that congress has had a democrat majority with a democrat president we no longer have an excuse. Before we could always point our fingers at Bush and say "well no way in hell Bush and all of his oil loving buddies are gonna invest in clean energy." But all that is gone now...and look...still nothing has changed.
All of this talk isn't gonna get shit done. Barack just needs to take initiative on clean energy like he did with health care. Do something drastic....like all energy in the US needs to be 50% clean by 2016. If change doesn't start at the executive level it will take decades to happen.
....off soap box....It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.
