		<description>According to a report released by Greenpeace in May, 2008:  

&lt;blockquote&gt;Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) cannot deliver in time to avoid dangerous climate change. The earliest possibility for deployment of CCS at utility scale is not expected before 2030. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, global greenhouse gas emissions have to start falling after 2015, just seven years away. 

CCS wastes energy. The technology uses between 10 and 40% of the energy produced by a power station. Wide scale adoption of CCS is expected to erase the efficiency gains of the last 50 years, and increase resource consumption by one third.

Storing carbon underground is risky. Safe and permanent storage of CO2 cannot be guaranteed. Even very low leakage rates could undermine any climate mitigation efforts.  (&lt;em&gt;Not to mention the fact that accidental large-volume release could result in a invisible, odorless cloud of suffocating gas, creating a localized catastrophy.&lt;/em&gt;)

CCS is expensive. &lt;strong&gt;It could lead to a doubling of plant costs, and an electricity price increase of 21-91%.&lt;/strong&gt; Money spent on CCS will divert investments away from sustainable solutions to climate change.  (&lt;em&gt;And also away from alternative energy development&lt;/em&gt;.)

CCS carries significant liability risks. It poses a threat to health, ecosystems and the climate. It is unclear how severe these risks will be.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The report is considered to be accurate by a majority of energy experts.  

&lt;strong&gt;While both McCain and Obama have spoken favorably about &quot;clean coal&quot; technology, the fact is that neither has been willing to publicly address the inherent problems during their respective presidential campaigns, owing to the obvious political reprecussions.

&quot;Clean coal&quot; isn&#039;t a financially viable option; it&#039;s actually nothing more than industry disinformation. &lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Obama&#039;s social experiment ... or, should I say Socialist experiment, will bring America to it&#039;s knees!&lt;/strong&gt; America has more coal than any other country in the world. Coal is one of America&#039;s greatest natural resources, and our most abundant source of fuel. Our economy and our National Security is extremely intertwined with coal. We should be supporting and promoting clean coal. The thought that Obama would possibly bankrupt our coal industry is scary. Obama&#039;s 20 year history of embracing radical ideas, radical people and radical change to our country allows this candidate with virtually no experience, to gamble with our constitution, our economy, our national security, and our future. Keep America safe and prosperous,  ... Elect McCain/Palin on November 4th !!!</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;New Obama Shock Audio&lt;/strong&gt;

Another jaw-dropping clip from the SF Chronicle/Gate &quot;coal&quot; interview:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama: &quot;Under my plan of a Cap &amp; Trade system ELECTRICITY RATES WOULD NECESSARILY SKYROCKET&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=e46U2Gnzpr

Bankrupting Coal is only part of his grand scheme.

Obama&#039;s advocating &quot;skyrocketing&quot; electrical rates is another that affects everyone: every household, every business.

And it spells economic disaster for the US economy as this plan would be unilateral. Other countries would not be affected and will be much more competitive vs. the cost of US-produced goods with sky-high energy costs, artificially inflated by the extreme anti-global warming Obama Cap, Trade, &amp; Redistribute plan.

Please listen and spread this around.

		<description>You are a braver soul than I...
I am now constrained to noquarter, texasdarlin, theobamafile, and if I want outrageousness, obambi.wordpress.com

I have voted, and inspired three others to vote McCain/Palin, I&#039;ve made 2 websites about Odinga and wasted 6 months of my life fretting and blogging over Nobama...

Now, all I can do is lock down the house and hope there&#039;s no riots.  TV on animal channel until Weds.</description>

		<description>If we do not acquire energy independence we will be at the mercy of, and ultimately destroyed by, those who control energy (Russia, the middle east).

And so all of the nicey-nice ideas about alternatives NOW will just be dust to the winds anyways.

Further if we didn&#039;t know about Obama-Ayer&#039;s agenda to DESTROY AMERICA we might not be as skeptical either.  

Enviromarxism...a convenient combo.

I&#039;m sure Ayers will use renewable energy sources and recycle those 25 million non-re-educatable Americans in his extermination camps into nice bars of soap and lamp shades, using solar energy of course!!</description>

		<description>It&#039;s being covered by Fox this morning and I believe I heard it last night as well.  We have to hope that someone in a coalminers family watches Fox and spreads the word in the community.  It&#039;s much larger than just PA, OH and CO.  Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana and KY could be impacted too and Mac needs VA and IN in his column.</description>

		<description>Not really.  

Drilling more wells to drain off a finite supply of something even more quickly isn&#039;t how you become independent of it.  

Energy independence will come from shifting  to something there&#039;s an &lt;em&gt;inexhaustable&lt;/em&gt; supply of.  

McCain and Palin have lately picked up on the fact that talking about alternative energy is politically expedient.  Their primary  commitment is to expanded oil drilling.</description>

		<description>Speaking as someone who has never done any types of illegal drugs, and as a student of pharmacology, I can say that yes, side effects of cocaine usage include among other things, clarity of thought, euphoria, and feelings of invincibility.  It does this by altering the neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin in the brain.  If Obama was a habitual user and not a recreational user of cocaine, his brain may have been permanently  re-hardwired to respond in unpredictable ways, hence the occasional truthful outbursts of his real beliefs.

On the second question, &quot;blow&quot; is in fact very easily procurable from certain neighborhoods and streets in SF.  I&#039;ve personally seen transactions up and down Mission Street, it&#039;s kinda acceptable because people here are IMO overly tolerant of recreational drug use.</description>

		<description>We already have the technological capability to begin a shift to wind and solar power.  If we set our minds to it, we could totally free ourselves of our dependence on foreign energy sources in less than 10 years.  You don&#039;t have to believe in fairies.  Only in science, technology, and American ingenuity.  

Bush ran up 5 trillion dollars in debt in 8 years.  What have we got to show for it?  

For a mere fraction of that, we can build a 21st Century alternative energy infrastructure and get ourselves back on the road to realizing our unlimited potential.   

I&#039;m tired of being told what we &lt;em&gt;can&#039;t&lt;/em&gt; do, and that hope and change are just empty words.  That&#039;s not the proper American mindset.  &lt;strong&gt;We can do whatever we can realistically imagine ourselves doing.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Do you honestly believe the governor of Alaska is likely to be a strong proponent of the alternative energy development our nation so desperately needs, when the huge budget surplus of her home state results &lt;em&gt;entirely&lt;/em&gt; from oil industry revenues?&lt;/strong&gt;

Sarah Palin is no &quot;energy genius&quot;.  She&#039;s the political beneficiary of an accident of geology and of our nation&#039;s addiction to petroleum.  

&lt;strong&gt;It doesn&#039;t take a genius to understand that increased drilling solves &lt;em&gt;nothing&lt;/em&gt; when we&#039;re consuming 25% of the world&#039;s total annual oil production, but possess only 3% of the world&#039;s total reserves.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>If you ask Pickens, I think he will tell you he thinks Obama&#039;s plan to destroy the coal industry is wrong. He favors domestic sources of energy, including coal.

Pelosi doesn&#039;t know what she supports. Look at her on FISA. Whatever Obama wants, he will get from Pelosi and Reid.</description>

		<description>We need energy. If Obama destroys the coal industry, one of the domestic sources of energy we have, then where will we make up for it in the immediate future except by importing oil and gas from foreign countries? This will kill thousands of jobs, and the increase in energy cost will hurt consumers and businesses. It will also place this nation at the mercy of foreign governments that want to hurt us.</description>
