I’m doing a long-term job assignment in Madison, WI, home of every enviro crazy in the midwest. We’ve got a local lawyer who was featured in the local newspaper as he claims to have stopped over 50 coal-fired plants.

It’s one thing to say we’re not gonna build coal-fired plants. It’s another thing to come up with an alternative. I’m sorry, but you can’t install enough solar panels and windmills (at least with current technology) to offset a good coal plant.

In addition, electricity consumption will go up if petroleum products get more expensive. Electric cars take a ton of power to recharge, and electric water heaters and electric heat are pretty energy-intensive too.

And watch those same nutjobs scream bloody murder when (as seems quite likely) their utility bill goes sky high. These people have profound mental defects. Then, the rallying cry will be for government to “do something” aka raping your wallet.

What this country needs is a good old fashioned enema.
