As an Ohioan, I DO NOT support our Republican governor's decision to legally oppose the Clean Power Plan. He is making a grave mistake by siding with the short-term interests of the coal and coal-fired power industries instead of thinking about the long-term interests of the residents of Ohio.

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
What other planet do these knuckleheads think we can move to after they wreck this one?
ReplyDeleteNate Adams, Craig may live near you...
ReplyDeleteI just don't get this...not at all!!! They are NOT gonna stop till there's no clean air or water or food...for ANYONE!!!
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle Chief Seattle: " Not until the last fish is caught & the last tree is cut...only THEN WILL YOU REALIZE YOU CANNOT EAT MONEY." Been dreading this...THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO STOP IT...MAYBE NOT GIVING ANY OF THOSE INVOLVED ANY $$$$$?????
ReplyDeleteMoney may make the world go around but, we've become a slave to it, and to the masters hoarding it. People say they despise handouts yet, every billionaire has legions of followers, all with their hands out. We elect these followers into office but, when our water becomes tainted, when our health fails we exclaim, "Someone must do something!"
ReplyDeleteThe world feels quite the strange place when half our country entertains a thought pattern that begins and ends with "me, myself, and I."
Ray of Sunshine It costs billions to build a new fossil-fuel power plant not to EPA standards, too...power plants are expensive. Combined with the incredible damage they do to every ecosystem on Earth, that's probably why we shouldn't be building new fossil fuel-based power plants at all.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we need new plants.
ReplyDeleteWe fix peoples problems with efficient design process. Fixing iaq, temp imbalance, ICE dams, ect,... We regularly cut consumption 30-50%.
Much of the need for new plants is capacity. Batteries look like they will be shortly be filling that niche.
Efficiency and technology will provide counterbalancing pressure on price. NY will be leading the way with our market focused REV.
Kind of sounds like 24 children are throwing a temper tantrum because mom and dad are being the parent. 😉
ReplyDeleteRay of Sunshine Personally, I don't want jobs that rely on burning fossil fuels coming to Ohio. I'd much rather those jobs be in the form of renewable energy design, engineering, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we can not afford.
ReplyDeleteJean De Prez, Sure we can. If we took the money we're about to waste on a war in Syria, we could build all the renewable energy infrastructure we want across the country.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever researched renewables compared to coal. We have a power plant that converted one of the boilers to natural gas. They couldn't get half the btu's out of it at it's peak out put they could with coal at low fire. They reverted it back to coal. Also, it would take over 6000 windmills running at peak output to equal one boiler at normal output. This power plant, in particular, supplies D.C. and the Pentagon.
ReplyDeleteHawk Wing Yes, we're very efficiently destroying the planet.
