How about we start with China
How about we start with China who is polluting the air ground and water. Our fossil fuel plants here in the United States arent the cause of this so called global warming. The Fossil fuel plants here are actually working on cleaning up their act by installing better scrubbers, better bag houses, better Low NOx burners. Why should we shut down our inexpensive fossil fuel plants and damage our economy to make a statement of "See what we're doing? Now its your turn." especially when China could care less about the environment just as long as they are making money hand over fist. Is every other country afraid to put pressure on China to clean up their act? Are people really that blind and stupid to believe Obama when he says clean energy creates more jobs? I work in the industry of making electricity my plant employes around 350 people. There is a wind farm just south of where I work that employes about 12. Do the Math... Also that wind farm makes about 20MW of electricity and there are about 40 wind generators spread thru out the valley south of me. My plant has four units and produces 1,000MW combined and takes up the space of one city block. Can you imagine how many wind generators it would take and also solar panels it would take to cover the lost energy of Fossil fuels and how much land it would take to put wind and solar in? People will never stop crying and complaining.. Now its Fossil Fuels are bad shut em down, later it will be Solar and Wind are taking up to much land and are an eyesore. blah blah blah..
