Reality UPDATE

Here's an idea for all you tree-hugging wackjobs who think we have too much CO2 in the air.
If you're really serious about reducing CO2 emissions, I have a plan that will reduce CO2 levels by 50% in no time at all. It won't cost anyone any money, it is fool-proof, and it will go a long way towards showing all of us that you're serious about the state of the environment....

STOP BREATHING FOR 5 MINUTES!!!
The resulting brain damage would be negligible, since you're already brain-dead.


Last night on TV, I saw a commercial that really pissed me off. The premise of the commercial is that clean coal technology is not real. A guy is wandering around a desolate landscape, yelling into the microphone, telling us all about clean coal.

I help build clean coal facilities. I've helped build one, and we're working on another one. The technology is real and it works.

This commercial is blatantly false and very offensive to me, and I am seriously considering a lawsuit against the perpetrators.

I shoulda figured. Alliance for Climate Change. AlBore and his minions. They would prefer we live in caves and cook over campfires; then they'd bitch about the wood smoke.

Dominion Power Is Making An Effort to Produce Clean Energy

Before you get your panties in a wad about the price of electricity, think about what you're getting for your money. Frozen steaks, air conditioning, hot water. It's what makes this country great.
Dominion Resources has invested $350,000,000 (yes, thats MILLION) in a system that scrubs the emissions from it's coal-fired facility at Dutch Gap to less than 5% solids and less than 2% sulfur. What is sent into the atmosphere from the power-generation process is a cloud. Thats right, a cloud. Water vapor.
I have video of the top of the stack on my vox site. Thats clean energy friends and neighbors.
We have it now, right here in the Old Dominion.
Now before you left wing tree hugging nutjob enviro-nazis start calling me a shill for the power industry, let me tell you what I do.
I'm an inspector. I am a Third Party Special Inspector to be precise. I verify compliance with approved construction documents and the 2003 International Building Code under Chapter 17. I answer to the Internationl Code Council and my Project Manager.
