This is not the American way! We refuse to use energy that doesn't cost the blood of our children in the middle east, and US wind and sun require none of their blood! It is simply un American! It is patriotic to unnecessarily send our kids to die unnecessarily, right? And if we allow the American public to demand science in this area, well, it will be hardly any time at all before they are demanding that the externalities of carbon fuels be handled the way cancer, health costs finally were handled with cigarettes, where the offender, the polluter pays. And if we want to kill 14,000 Americans with coal pollution to avoid the vicious ire of the coal industry, well that's our business, non-foreign-terrorist deaths are totally ok. And hey, they are our children, so if we want to hand them a dead ocean devoid of life, 50% of the world's species gone by 2075 - THEY ARE OUR KIDS. NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL US TO STOP. This is the land of the Free-to-do-to-others-whatever-we-want-if-we-have-the-money-to-get-away-with-it! Love it, or leave it!
