Well Drowssap, I doubt anyone who is reading Warren's blog is going to change their mind. The only thing positive for McCain that Warren's blog over the last few months has done is possibly keep someone from jumping ship to Obama. But I've seen nothing here that really speaks to an issue, only innuendo. Besides, look at what Delores wrote, she's already crowned a winner. To bad for her that she's off on the birth thing, Hawaii confirmed Obama's birth yesterday or maybe the day before. ~~_________________________~~ Yeah Warren, Obama wants it now. He wants the US to sign the Kyoto Treaty too. That would give us the "moral authority" to speak to China and move them to better environmental controls on their plants that burn coal. There is a lot this country must start doing to become more energy efficient and productive; and it takes a new kind of foresight which humans have heretofore not employed. The industrial revolution was easy. We knew how to burn things and man has been making his living off of burnt fossil fuels for some 300 years (more if you want to count the wood you felled three months before you burnt it). That easily sparked innovation because the technology of burning a fuel was rather rudimentary and free enterprise readily carried the day and brought us here. Now, when science and technology are pulling our most basic need, the need for energy, out of the technology of burning a fuel; it is rather imperative that we as a nation make the correct choices. Because in that choice is also engendered a modicum of the efficiency we desire. I just don't see that McCain will be able to form the necessary forums of thought from which we make those decisions.

Lynn David – Both candidates want change in coal standards, but McCain favors a graduated approach whereas, apparently Obama does not.

Obama is speaking about old coal plants that only have scrubbers on them…

I’m not buying that one. Reid and Biden have both made a bunch of anti-coal statements. Obama is on tape making anti-coal statements. I was sitting in an office the other day and I picked up a copy of Mother Jones Magazine. What I read inside made it pretty obvious that the left hates coal.
Is anybody really trying to build a coal plant in the USA based on the environmental standards of Beijing? I doubt that is what Obama is worried about.

Obama is born in Kenya! It is illegal for him ro become a US president! Please ask your senators to start the process of impeachment against him now, we will get to the coal business after the impeachment! Thanks!

how hilarious it is to see an obot complaining about people lying, do you really think the well over a hundred reasons not to vote for your guy is all entrely fabricated? i could see a dozen or so reasons, I’ll even spot you 20 or so, but when I read lists of over 100 factually accurate reasons, and the list grows every day, do you really think those are all lies? My guess is you also believe we never went to the moon then, for claiming to be so smart you obots sure wear stupid well.
