The AOL article referred to Fit E. Cal's post ("For the Denial

Neocon why the Bush administration has done everything in its power to
avoid regulating greenhouse gasses. For those with limited attention
spans, here are some hints from the article (http://tinyurl.com/

"Texas Leads Nation in Carbon Emissions"

"The biggest reason?

The 'big reason' is that Texas is home to 26% of the entire country's

Dayum Flippah. Ya think 'cause Texas is home to 26% of the entire
country's refinin' capacity might be a *'nothuh* reasun our Good ol'
Boy in the Whitehouse don' want any regulashins on greenhouse gases?
Why, if those refineries had to install pollutin'-curbin' devices - or
if they decided ta become leadahs in clean alternative energy - it
might cut inta profits of all those poor lil ol' oil companies based
in Houston!

I wasn't dealing with your silly conspiracy theories for the simple
reason they don't merit discussion.

The point was the article is misleading and I showed why.

The burning of high-carbon coal to produce cheap
electricity."

Well, hells bells, let's make things more expensive, you bet.

Ya damn tootin' Flippah! Don't wanna cut inta sum of the lahgest
corp'rit profits ever in the hist'ry of the world jus' cause tha'
silly lil' ice cap might melt an' flood out all those damn smart alecs
in New York City! An' who cares about them tens of millions of po'
people in other areas of the world who'll get flooded out!

Might melt? You mean you don't know?

Figured as much.





"Texas, the leader in emitting this greenhouse gas, cranks out more
than the next two biggest producers combined, California and
Pennsylvania, which together have twice Texas' population."

"Some states are benefiting from both cheap electricity while

In electric power emissions, which is also not 'just coal' but the
'thrust' of the article's mangling of data,, Texas ranks 18'th in
emissions per capita and 19'th in emissions per GDP, compared to other
states.

Good thing most of them *per capita* po' folk in Texas don' have much
say in what those energy industry Good ol' Boys do! Why, next thing
ya know, they be tryin' to get a cut of the action! No siree. Can'
let that happen! That *fo sho* is a meanin'less statistic! Heh heh
heh!

That's not even amusing gibberish,

polluting the planet and make all the rest of us suffer the
consequences of global warming," said Frank O'Donnell, director of the
Washington environmental group Clean Air Watch. "I don't think that's
fair at all."

Mr. O'Donnell is not "suffering the consequences of global warming."

Not yet! Heh!

Good to see you agree.

"Texas, where coal barely edges out cleaner natural gas as the top
power source, belches almost 1 1/2 trillion pounds of carbon dioxide
yearly. That's more than every nation in the world except six: the
United States, China, Russia, Japan, India and Germany."

Again, a false confounding of all emissions from all sources as if
coal were the only thing.

That's right! You keep tryin' to confuse the issue!

It's the article that deliberately confuses the issue and I showed the
real facts.

We don' want
those lil' people to catch on that it's the *whole* Texas energy
industry (regardless of whether coal-fired, oil, or gas) that's doin'
the pollutin'!

Without what you call the whole energy industry you'd be making your
own candles and living in a cave. Which you are free to do, of course.





"Instead of trying to wean themselves from coal, Texas government
officials went out of their way to encourage the state's biggest
utility, TXU Corp ., to plan for 11 new coal-burning power plants that
would have produced even more carbon dioxide."

Nation wide there are roughly 150 coal fired plants planned for the
obvious reason that people need power.

TXU, however, has cut out 8 of the originally planned 11 but has no
idea where the needed replacement power will come from.

So, Mr. Texas Goodolboy, I take it you won't be bitching when your
electric bill skyrockets and the rolling blackouts commence from power
shortages.

Ya forgot to mention agin' that Texas is doin' more pollutin' than
anyone else,

Because that is a false claim.

and that the pollutin' energy industry is how the Good
ol' Boys line theyah pockets! They could redirect some of those
record profits towards developin' cleanah energy sources, but then
they wouldn' be able to buy all those luxury goods that keep the
economy goin'!

Well, hells bells, boy, you fancy yourself so smart so YOU invent that
miracle cure and get rich yourself.

"The Texas state agency charged with monitoring the environment
declined to comment on carbon dioxide emissions. Spokeswoman Andrea
Morrow said the gas "is not a regulated pollutant.""

Of course it isn't, since CO2 isn't a 'pollutant' at all, so why would
you even ask someone not charged with it?

All depens on how ya look at ah guess!! Heh heh heh!

Remove CO2 and you get a dead planet. It's not a pollutant as the term
is normally used or, put another way it's a 'pollutant' in the same
manner water is a 'pollutant'. I.E. You can drown in 'too much' water.
