Energy Talk



















TOP: WY polution belching, environment raping coal energy plant
BOTTOM: OK clean, green wind energy farm


OK, time for my "liberal rant of the day". As we're driving through OK, certainly far from a liberal state, we see hundreds and hundreds of wind towers alongside the highways. All producing "green" energy. And, they a beauty to behold.

Conversely, in WY, we see freight trains with literally hundreds of cars filled to the brim with coal, coal strip mines that destroy the environment and landscape, and ugly, pollution belching coal plants alongside the highway. Not ONE SINGLE WINDMILL IN ALL OF WY!!!

My favorite was the highway signage "Clean Coal". Kinda like "Ethical Politician" or "Bush Rhodes Scholar".

Now I grasp that big business has a lock on the country, but if the utilities are going to get their money anyways, why can't they just focus on green energy instead of destroying the earth? It isn't that hard, and even the Oakies got it figured out.
