You're right. We should shut down all the coal-burning power plants, all the refineries, all the vehicles. Yup, that'll fix it. Oh yeah, we should stop breathing too. That damn carbon dioxide. Grrr.

Oh yeah, we should stop breathing too. That damn carbon dioxide. Grrr. In the long run, yes we should (or rather find technologies to replace them). In the short term, we should cut back our dependency on coal and make cars more efficient.

QUOTE (pebkac @ Jun 4 2007, 09:24 AM) we should cut back our dependency on coal then you'd cry about your electric bill doubling QUOTE (pebkac @ Jun 4 2007, 09:24 AM) and make cars more efficient. sure no problem, just wave the magic wand and that one's done. this is the typical democratic response to issues... "we need more fuel efficient cars" "we need to stop pollution" "we need to stop the war" "we need a better health care system" instead of "here's how we get more fuel efficient cars" "here's how we stop pollution" "here's how we stop the war" "here's how we improve the healthcare system" |
