just dam !
The real truth of the nut case left is they are so entrenched in self loathing they long for the elimination of the human race.
They want us to live in caves.
Actually, the nutcase left is also against building dams. But not because they cause greenhouse gas (most of the nutcase left didn't know about this previously) but because anything that aids in the economic development of the human race is evil to the nutcase left, and the nutcase left wants to destroy.
It is true, though, that nutcase left opposition to nuke power and fossil fuel power has made building dams more attractive than it might otherwise have been.
Ah, the nutcase left. Were would we be without them? I know! Way up there. Way far ahead of where we are now.
"This is because large amounts of carbon tied up in trees and other plants are released when the reservoir is initially flooded and the plants rot."
Gee, how about letting them harvest the trees first ?
( As if those plants and such were never going to die and release their methane at some point anyway... )
Let's see... they deride atomic energy (why? I have no real clue, we all know what they SAY)...
Burning things is out of the question (though I believe it makes up something like 70% of our energy)
Now hydro-electric energy is dangerous.
Next thing you know they'll tell us wind power decapitates endagered owls, and claims against solar power will include overheating the area around the solar cells.
The only thing we'll be left with is riding bikes to charge batteries! I think at that time, however, I will be instead strapping these libs to the wires, and not a battery.
Omigod!! We are doomed!!
That evil Kelp (millions and millions of square miles of it!) in the ocean that grows and dies and decays and releases carbon dioxide and methane in the air...those billions of trees in the forests, those massive rivers like the Mississippi, the Amazon, those miles and miles of grain that the cattle eat and turn into methane - they are killing us and turning our planet into a tropical Hell!!
Oh Woe is me. Woe is me. We must drain all the rivers and lakes, destroy all the trees, stop all the grain and grass from growing, fill the oceans with Roundup...!!
We are doomed. (Unless mebbe we could all hold our breath for one minute out of every five to reduce the CO2 from being released into the atmosphere.)
said Philip Fearnside from Brazil's National Institute for Research in the Amazon in Manaus
guess there are alot of dams in the amazon
Hydroelectric seems to kill more people (directly, anyway) than other forms of power production.
Ya THINK?!?!?
The left should just do the honorable thing and Hunter Thompson themselves. Since they hate life so much, then they should make a statement to prove it.
Yet-another-reason-for-more-nuclear-power-plants bump.
LOL!
It sounds more like they're opposed to ALL carbon-based lifeforms, animal and vegetable alike.
Man, as a conservative, I have a very strong pro-life philosophy.
But I don't think it's possible to achieve zero-emissions by legislating a ban on death, decay and decomposition of all biological matter.
