I am all for the Envirement, however. OBAMA and his "CLEAN COAL" will skyrocket energy costs, he said so himself. His budget calls for a shutdown of the one place that has been built for 30 years to store nuclear waste, he wants nuclear power, now where is he going to put the waste? Can't shoot it into space, he is shutting them down too, and the thousands of jobs that has in the private sector! Another Plan to WEAKEN the UNITED_STATES! New Budget BORROWS $42 of every $100 spent from mostly China! Question: What exactly is a "Green Job"? I don't think that has ever been answered in any detail has it? Can it be "Exported"? They are "Service" jobs in "energy" which will cause our Energy costs to SKYROCKET! We have a problem, Clean coal in Obama's own words will cause "Costs to Skyrocket", We don't know what "Green Jobs" even are other than it sounds "Nice & Clean"! Meanwhile our kids will get more lead paint in Chinese toys, dogs will get poisoned and soon they will have all our secrets in payment! Obama is pushing for us to be part of China!

There is no clean coal, and new energy and environmental clean-up is the next wave of economic opportunity.

Let's go nuclear and end the need for coal all together.

Technology is there

The technology is there for clean coal power plants. However the tree huggers are blocking their construction. See, they still believe in man-made global warming even though evidence has been shown that the science behind it was fabricated.

Around the Great Lakes there are 5 clean coal power plants planned. However, their construction is blocked. How many jobs would those plants create? But they are being blocked by a Democrat Governor. When the existing aged power plants begin to fail how will people in the Great Lakes survive?
