no coal, no nukes. period.

1. Edwards is against nukes, HRC and Obama are not

[ourbluenation]

4. me too. but still holding out hjope for Gore

[phantom power]

2. Nukes now. Period.

Hah! I can play this game too!

:evilgrin:

[Atman]

3. No periods!

Live theater, no TV!

5. What is your alternative - questionmark

[SayWhatYo]

7. hamsters and running wheels....

No one every suggests that idea. I think it would work great....

[BlooInBloo]

6. no coal, no nukes, no oil -> no energy. period.

Yah - let's see how long you can run the U.S. on geothermal.

It's wonderful-warm-fuzzy to talk about how *bad* various energy sources are. It's not nearly as fun to talk about how we *should* get all the energy we need. And it's idiotically stupid to simply say "we'll be just fine not expending energy".

8. Can't build windmills or dams either...

No one wants windmills around them, or they don't want them killing birds. No one wants solar plants because they take up too much land to get the amount of power needed. No one wants dams because they kill fish...

Which leads us to hamster and wheels. I do believe it's the only solution.

9. So what do we use, unicorn dust???

Or would they be an endangered species?

[Rosemary2205]

10. NO HUMANS!!

I say we go back to the days where everyone used wild animal poop for heat and humans were dead by the age of 30. We can eat any animals And we can't farm any veggies either because farming rapes the earth and pollutes the streams.

Lets face it, the earth would benefit greatly if humans were extinct.

11. Im in favor of using gonzo

hes so full of hot air he could keep us powered for eternity.

[Hippo_Tron]

12. There's about zero chance of that

No matter who is President, Americans aren't going to be willing to pay more for green energy and they aren't going to use less energy to stop global warming.

[trotsky]

14. Nor can green energy alone meet our power needs.

I wish it could, and it will have to one day, but let's work toward that realistically.

[bryant69]

15. Does this work?

I mean is this an effective way of arguing?

16. we might need a lot more nuclear power stations

unless we discover a new power source or make a breakthrough in a new technology.

17. HOLY CRAP! YOU PEOPLE HAVEN'T A CLUE WHAT'S COMING...

Educate yourselves. Stop being so ignorant. I can't believe DUers are so uninformed on this subject.

Nukes and coal are both lousy options, though coal is almost certainly unavoidable/un-resistable (till it runs out in the none too distant future).
