No one wants to stoke coal if he can regulate an oil valve instead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To shut off coal, or to say you can't have further coal development, I think is the wrong way to go.
Coal is cheap, but up to what extent are we going to allow coal plants to operate?
We don't want to leave the coal in the ground, and that necessarily is going to involve better technology with regard to clean uses of coal.
If you want improvements in coal, you've got to keep people in the business.
We should not just consume hydrocarbon fuel but use it to develop nuclear energy, hydro power and renewable energy sources.
Everyone depending on foreign fuels are all too inclined, it seems, to let jobs leave this country.
Across the country, people are willing to tighten their belts and sacrifice. The president should ask the oil industry to do the same.
No one really wants to send their kids off to die for oil.
I don't see a groundswell of people willing to raise gas taxes right now. That leaves fuel economy standards as the only effective tool we have as a nation to make a dent in our dangerous and ever growing consumption of oil.
No one does a better, cleaner, or environmental friendlier, than the United States, when it comes to drilling for oil, gas, coal, oil refineries and fish friendly hydroelectric.
