Trump admin to bailout failing coal and nuclear plants

WildRose:

Global temps have increased 1C since 1960.

CO2 has increased by over 25% in the same time period.

Check the time series.

WildRose · 2018-06-02T00:01:47.380Z

I did.9c increase in temps, 24% increase in CO2 during the same time period.

Coal is going out anyway. I wouldnt really care if it was killed.

Sure in 250 years we have over 400 BILLION tons of it left. Wait for it…LMAO!

Bomberfox:

Not to mention we need cleaner energy.

We need cleaner energy? Why?

WildRose · 2018-06-02T00:06:31.345Z

Well think about it. When the pendulum swings back as it always does we may damned well need it to survive!

This thread reminds me, I need to set fire to my backyard burn pile.

WildRose · 2018-06-02T00:08:16.118Z

I’ve got a dozen big brush piles from some dozer work we did this winter I need to burn too. I’m waiting for one more rain.

What did obama do to contribute to economic growth?

WildRose · 2018-06-02T00:11:48.282Z

From 1850 to 1960 we have an increase from 284ppm to 310ppm. During the same period we have an increase of .4C in global temps (assuming the assumptions are accurate).

Why then with the dramatic increase in CO2 since 60 have we not seen a corresponding dramatic increase in temperatures if CO2 is Driving them?

Give us your best explanation Bomber?

He left office.

While environmentalists exaggerate the current effects we should still strive to use the cleanest most efficient energy production methods possible.

Nuclear was supposed to be the clean future. Had we not squandered it.

Democrats haven’t cut the deficit in your lifetime.

Really? Hmmm…

Read a book and find out.

WildRose:

Coal ash can simply be put back into the existing mines.

You are talking about strip mining rather than tunnel mining and the same can be done there. Just make them save the topsoil to cover it back up.

Are you proposing regulations?

I eagerly await the administration’s regulations protecting pagers, fax machines, and Blockbuster.

Dirty energy causes adverse health effects.

Not that you care.

Pendulum swing back? In a few thousand years? I think if the human race is around we won’t be worried.

WildRose · 2018-06-02T03:13:54.446Z

So do extremes of heat and cold and transportation you can’t afford.

The environment was many times cleaner in 2009 than it was in 1970 but somehow we all lived.

WildRose · 2018-06-02T03:14:33.419Z

What year exactly will the pendulum begin swinging back?

dantes · 2018-06-02T04:54:43.216Z

We didn’t all live. Not in 1970. Not in 2009.

Not that you care.

Geez is that the best you got?
