This is only one of the projects I have in mind. Contrary to what the liberals and others have posted here, I'm not anti-environment. I'm anti-environmentalist and anti-EPA because I think they are going about things backwards and stupidly. Not to mention wrecking the hell of the economy doing it.
I all for closing coal power plants, but until we have the generation capacity to replace them, it is stupid to put such a strain on the public by all these regulations. Bio-fuels, hey, all for them, if they don't wreck havoc on the food supply. Natural Gas vehicles, great, make it doable and practical. Solar power, not particularly against it in some cases, but face it, it will be a longtime, if ever before it can meet all our power needs. Same with windmills. Damn shame both are hell on good cropland in agricultural areas. Don't like fertilizer run off, give us an alternative that works and is doable. Don't like pesticides, great, find us another way to stop bugs from eating our food so that we get that food. Don't like animal waste run off, ok, then we could use the waste for fertilizer, but then some of it runs off anyways. So many of them like their hamburgers, ribs and chicken sandwiches, well, we have to grow the animals to make those. Think the air is bad in LA now, imagine what it would be like with all those families having horses instead of cars.
If the environmentalist and their supporters would invest 1/10th of what they spend on lobbying and hire some good engineers, they could of already built working viable alternatives to what we use today. There would be no need for all these laws and regulation. Hell, if they did that, in a decade, they would be the 1% that everyone complains about. Trying to force technology through regulation is just plain stupid.
