Atom power is the best answer, coal does cause acid rain and is very dirty, but usefull in a pinch, with atom power the price is steady [ for the electricity ] and our hard earned money stays in the U.S.A. among a few other very good reasons. Of course if one is trying to weaken the U.S.A. one would not want to allow inexpensive electricity. Here in Charleston SC we have very calm evenings ''wind power'' will probably never power this house and the battery's needed for solar systems currently being installed are not only very expensive to buy but to maintain also. Solar manufacturers bear part of the blame for the situation they find themselves in. The comment from SolarCraft president Bill Stewart (about potential buyers not wanting to tap into their home equity accounts) ''' is telling''': home improvement contractors made fortunes by convincing Americans that granite counter tops and elaborate decks and solar panels would improve the value of their homes. After transferring so much of that value to the contractors, we now find out it never existed in the first place. I’m with looking for cheaper systems — which the producers could sell, if they wanted to. Yet with all the advances in plug-and-play technology, they still rely on a network of over-priced installers to sell their wares. It can’t be that difficult to design these systems so that they can be sold at Home Depot and Lowe's.

Here in Charleston SC we have very calm evenings ”wind power” will probably never power this house and the battery’s needed for solar systems currently being installed are not only very expensive to buy but to maintain also.

We have absolutely no proof that the slight rise in CO2 has anything to do with global warming (climate change)yet people conti ue to insist that thier "beliefs" be listened to and not facts. When it comes to energy production we should do all the above according to the best advantage it gives us in each region of the country. Why are those so concerned about the poor by the way so oblivious to the financial costs of high energy prices? It fascinates me that the logic of the plan outlined above could be resisted.

But I think we must replace, not supplant coal generation with nuclear. I also believe th world is in fact experiencing global warming and CO2 plays a role.

These people know what they are talking about, which means that the Left will turn a deaf ear. They are too busy pushing this pork filled stimulus plan and trying to silence Rush Limbaugh.
