Do you know that Australia, China, Europe, and South Africa has been using clean coal technology to replace
some of their oil demand?

Do you even know what clean coal means?

South Africa was able to withstand those years of sanctions during their apartheid era due to clean coal
technology and they are the leader in coal to liquid technology for decades.

Did you even understand what was stated by the Coal association official? we are currently IMPORTING coal
from other countries.

If there’s anything that many do not understand is that WE CAN NOT KEEP IMPORTING ENERGY RESOURCE
from other countries if we have our own here. we can not afford to keep sending hundreds of billions of dollars
to other countries. that money is better kept within our own economy.

No one is saying that we shouldn’t have alternative energy, but until we have 100% alternative energy, we need
to use our own oil, natural gas, and coal instead of sending money overseas. is that so freaking hard to understand? it’s economics 101!

We are the Saudi Arabia of coal and we are importing coal from Indonesia? WTF is that about??!

Look at what Canada is doing, they are conserving energy, they are going green, BUT they are selling oil and
are profiting nicely from it.

There’s no reason why we should keep sending money overseas for oil, natural gas, and coal if we have those resources here. keep the money here and help the economy grow, and we also lower global demand of oil which lowers the price so other countries can afford it, and ultimately get more money for alternative energy.

You can’t simply flip a switch and stop using oil, natural gas, and coal. the computer you’re using is 85% oil derivative. you stop using oil, you eliminate plastics from everything, without plastics you have nothing. 80% to 90% of all consumer products have oil derivatives in it.

Do some research.

Oil, natural gas, coal, can be used responsibly to ensure less emission while we wait for the alternative energy industry to mature. heck, even solar panels manufacturing need oil.

Stop listening to the rhetoric and start using logic to base your economic opinions on this election. Obama’s
energy plan is a pipe dream,McCain’s plan is practical and will result in millions of new jobs and keep US dollars within our borders instead of it going overeseas.
