As a tune up before that Thursday road trip:

Tomorrow night (Tuesday 16th) the Sierra Club is showing:

Fighting Goliath: The Texas Coal Wars.

A documentary chronicling the effort to kill 11 coal fired power plants in central and eat Texas. Only 3 opened.

The John Turk plant is trying to open in Arkansas because they got run out of Texas.

Come on and join the Sierra Club for free and see the film

7:00
Oyster Bar
3003 west Markham

Social hour is (1/2 hour) is 6:30 to 7:00. Everything is over by 8:00.

I rest my case. This proves what I have been saying all along. You moonbats are goofy. You deserve the consequences of your labors.

Ready Louie? I'll make a couple of placards and you and I will be in the minority at the meeting......but we will enjoy that AC powered by SWEPCO, won't we (while jazzy stews in Hot Springs).

Strangelove, care to expand a logical argument? Do you know the position of the protesters? Are you just blithely writing them off?

Yes, no coal fired generating plants need apply.

Excuse me, I cannot read what you have written because there is too damn much coal smoke in my eyes and the air is so thick I cannot stop coughing long enough to listen to anyone talking.

Hey, I know how we can solve that problem. Let's get rid of all energy----except maybe wind power---and see how we like that. I don't have a problem with the middle ages. Do you?

Just could not resist the puns! Hey, they will shut down the Coal Plants after the world dies by choking to death. They will shut down the Nuke Plants after one too many Bart Fish with three eyes show up on the Presidents dinner table. They will shut down the Natural Gas Plants when the last cubic foot has been aspirated into a pretty blue flame. But they will not put up with building those way to damned ugly to look at Clean and Earth Friendly Wind Generators because that just makes to much sense, and we all no those bastards cannot cope with anything that makes any sense at all. There is just not enough money right off the bat for the wind turbines for all those greedy sewer rats to be satisfied fast enough.

Strangelove,
I'm with you there. I collect Fantasy Daggers and Old Swords anyhow so I'm actually ready as I can be for the "Middle Ages". (And as old as I feel I may have actually lived through them too!) I don't know for sure, at this age and condition I cannot remember if I remember or not.

Cato,
Reckon it'll cause a problem if I show up nekkid? Maybe we can draw attention from the nuts who want me 'n you to turn off our air conditioners.
Best regards and GO Bearcats!

Well I just spent two and a half days without any power (Thanks Ike).. and not for one second did I wish I had coal or nuke plant in my back yard.

Leave it to Arkansas to cheer for the dirtiest possible methods of energy production... and use a lie to defend such a position.. Your air conditioner will not be helped by this coal plant (nor are they out of power now).. and Cato, for one, knows it. The plant production is designated entirely for the Texas wholesale electric market. And Texans were smart enough to reject the coal plants in their state.
