With the record low natural gas prices, coal can't compete. And as far as the cost of coal-related health problems - with so much of our GDP in health care, if people get sick and are forced to pay to receive treatment for it, doesn't that stimulate the economy?

Wouldn't it be nice to get rid of the uncertainty? - nomad 2012-05-18 18:03:44 (37 views)

Yup... We're likely to get solar on our new place, and that is one - shikantaza 2012-05-18 18:22:40 (38 views)

I hope to convince the co-owners to go solar for our building - gribble the mispost master 2012-05-18 18:43:33 (32 views)

Gee, if only we were investing in other sources of energy - gribble the mispost master 2012-05-18 17:43:05 (36 views)

Gee, since we only have 200 years of energy left in the ground, - gsw_hoops 2012-05-19 09:12:21 (44 views)

We wouldn't have been in Afghanistan or Iraq - gribble the mispost master 2012-05-19 09:26:49 (36 views)

Yeah, cuz we got so much from each of them. Oh, wait.. - gsw_hoops 2012-05-19 10:49:05 (41 views)

WTF? You have been the tard insisting we stay hooked on oil - gribble the mispost master 2012-05-19 12:15:06 (41 views)

You're either senile or lying. I have NEVER maintained that. - gsw_hoops 2012-05-19 13:58:52 (41 views)

Go stroke out somewhere - Hoser 2012-05-19 16:24:36 (40 views)

Dude its a finite resource, of course the price will go up as there is less of it - Hoser 2012-05-18 14:01:30 (44 views)

that's not really what's going on here... - shikantaza 2012-05-18 14:24:47 (46 views)

That is running out of oil lol - Hoser 2012-05-18 16:59:33 (37 views)

LOL... whatever. Still not at issue. - shikantaza 2012-05-18 17:13:05 (26 views)

?? - nomad 2012-05-18 17:54:47 (32 views)

I meant that the potential increase isn't due to a scarcity in coal... - shikantaza 2012-05-18 18:19:23 (29 views)

But petroleum is a different matter - harder to get to is the equivalent of scarcer - nomad 2012-05-18 18:30:46 (31 views)

Well, just in terms of what I said above to Hoser... - shikantaza 2012-05-18 20:55:22 (38 views)

Ok, I do see that point. And really hope it's too expensive in relation to cleaner sources - nomad 2012-05-19 05:44:35 (37 views)

I'm gonna laugh when solar is the cheapest option and you're bitching about wanting coal back... - shikantaza 2012-05-18 13:19:30 (48 views)

What a stupid thing to say. The reason that many of us - gsw_hoops 2012-05-18 13:27:03 (50 views)
