[quote user="futuremodal"]<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><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>For the record FM, I agree with you more than disagree, on the above. Don't forget Hydro,however.</p><p> </p><p>I'm not so sure they really think that solar and wind (and hydro)is a viable answer in terms of a total solution.</p><p> </p><p>I really believe there is a part of their thinking that understands coal generation plants are necessary, they just want it to be dirtying up some other state while producing power for them. </p>
