Oh, PLEASE! Even if all U.S.
Oh, PLEASE! Even if all U.S. electricity was produced by burning coal, how does that negate the foreign oil motivation? Are we importing coal from OPEC? NO! I, for one, want to stop sending our GNP to OPEC. While I prefer not to burn coal, I like sending money to OPEC, along with the associated national security issues it brings.
Secondarily, I want to wean us from burning ANY fossil fuel merely for transportation. Neither will happen over night, and without research and development. Doing nothing, aside from burying our heads in the sand and continuing to advocate burning oil in cars, is short sighted, and dare I say, stupid.
