[quote user="MP173"] <p>Just checked my often mentioned BNSF Coal Mine map, which arrived today by US Mail. There are in fact, not that I doubted AG, ZERO coal power plants in Ca. Amazing.</p><p>ed</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>It's both extremely amusing and more than a bit disconcerting that California has demonized coal to such fanatical extents. The talk now is to reject any electricity made by coal, begging the question "just how do you expect to meet your voracious energy demands"?</p><p>The only available energy source that can meet that demand besides coal is nuke, and nukes aren't any more in favor than coal. There's this Pollyanna mentality in C-land that "the problem will solve itself". They really believe that solar and wind can make up the deficit. <span class="smiley">[D)]</span> They are the 600 lb retarded gorilla that the rest of us must deal with.</p><p> </p>
