ES,
I didn't forget that:
And many believe that money spent of the issue of reducucing emmisions, Co2, oor whatever, is a good investment in this Country's future.
Tell me this, when have you seen anyone from the media do an accurate expose on power plants? How many in the general public can tell you what an SCR system is or a Scrubber?
How many people actually know how coal is processed before being burned for fuel?
Point being there is a tremendous amount of technology being applied "daily" that is not being told to the masses. Ultra although I know how you hate me bringing up past conversations, we had a fossil fuel thread going right about the time you started posting regularly here, and you made the comment to me that it was no wonder Houston's air quality was ranked so bad due to coal fired PP's that were being proposed at the time and since have been cut back on drastically for future construction. I didn't reply then as I didn't see the need to argue the point, but the point is, CFPP's aren't Houston's problem. It's mainly traffic emissions and topography coupled with weather patterns. Not getting on you or arguing the point, just stating that if you don't understand the conditions, how can you understand the cause and / or possible solutions? This really seems to pertain to a lot of the people airing their opinions on global warming and other environmental issues.
Clowns like Al Gore aren't trying to help the environment 1 iota, they are trying to make a buck or gain a position of stature off the situation.
Global warming isn't a proven fact either way. Hopefully the symposium will provide some positive results, but the positive won't be a rush to regulation, it will be a process of proper education and gathering of real facts. Sadly if politicians are running the show we may never get to the root core of understanding the issues.
