one thing that hurts is the truth. it hurts really badly, especially when it concerns ourselves or people we know.
if you'll listen very closely, he is telling the truth.
at some point in time. we are going to have to start changing the way we look at energy. we're going to have to change the way we power our homes, our cars and our business.
who's going to set that point? when will we set that point? are we just going to pass it on to other generations?
let me guess.... sometime after we (that are here on earth now) are dead and gone?
maybe those that are living after us will decide.... perhaps they'll also say "no not during our lifetimes either...."
it's not going to be a painless episode, but the facts are fossil fuels are not an endless supply.
he is saying build the power plants... but... if they don't meet the mimimum pollution standards...you're(the power plant) will have to pay. and us, if we don't demand they produce electricity cleaner will pay more
build a cleaner power plant with a way of mimimizing c02 emmisions, pay less.
folks we can't continue treating the earth like we've been doing since the industrial revolution took hold some 100+ years ago.. we can't keep doing it infinitum.
obama was speaking the truth. it's just really not what we want to hear. that's what hurts. just set in our ways i suppose.
we'd rather hear that everything is just fine, and that we'll probably be ok for as long as we live.
i work in the energy field. i understand that at some point along the way there will be change. obama has the balls to actually say, the time is coming and it's now.....
george bush whould just tell us everything is fine the way it is, and we should go shopping.
yes obama said it will cost more....would you rather have him lie about that?
we've got to get past worrying about me, me, me in the here and now and actually start thinking about future generations, because they are actually our/your families too, even if we're dead and gone and never meet them.
coal and gas will be gone someday.... are we going to wait until the last minute?
