I got a link from someone who I won't embarrass by linking to (unless she wants me to) about Texas powerplants.
See, we're trying to keep our electricity plentiful and cheap, unlike other states that use the Socialistic approach to their energy needs.
There is a certain group of greenies opposed to these plants because they'll put out CO2 (because their scrubbers remove almost all other pollutants), that's bad according to the Environmental Defense Fund.
The Environmental Defense Fund is one of the big dogs in the greenie movement, but still can't seem to use what are commonly known as "facts". Instead they rely on misrepresentations and emotions to convince the believers out there.
I'm not environmental scientist. My higher education was in the electronics field, not in a general college setting, and I didn't take courses in either English (as you can tell from this blog) or science. I do however have common sense, and can do research by myself. Which brings me to their 2006 annual report(PDF, sorry)- put out there for God and everyone.
It's 36 pages of environmental fluff and misleading statements.
Including such misrepresentations as...
1985- "Convinced Federal regulators to phase out leaded gasoline, leading to a dramatic decline in childhood lead poisoning."(page 5) The non-scientist in me is saying "WHAT?? That's not the same kind of lead! They're completely chemically different.
1975- "Our economic model leads California regulators to call for energy efficiency, rather than new coal and nuclear power plants."(p. 5 again) Yeah, and we saw how well that worked at the turn of THIS century.
On page 7 they show a Photoshopped power plant on
,,,whiteness.
As a truck driver, I have to admit to being sensitive to their photoshopping of huge, black diesel exhaust clouds on page 13.
The last time I remember seeing those black clouds (except at tractor pulls) was somewhere around the early '80s. Even the trucks in 'Smokey and the Bandit' weren't belching out as much as they added.
I'm sorry, but there's 36 pages of this cr@p. It's PDF, so I can't copy and paste. Just go look at what they're putting out. The altered reality makes me want to bang my head into the wall.
But, you know what the really bad thing is?
They're brainwashing our kids into believing it. They're not teaching critical thinking in school, they're too busy pushing the emotional buttons.
They're the same kind of people who sent this little @sshole out do supposedly guilt me into buying overpriced ecofriendly cr@p, so I'd feel better about the sun and the earths rotational variations heating the earth.
Learn to swim, kid.
