The Leader of the Don't Drill Democrats in the Senate declaims against two giant and productive industries that employ hundreds of thousands of Americans. His full statement:

"The one thing we fail to talk about is those costs that you don't see on the bottom line. That is coal makes us sick, oil makes us sick; it's global warming. It's ruining our country, it’s ruining our world. We’ve got to stop using fossil fuel.”

With respect to energy policies and so-called global warming the man is an idiot. But he sure knows how to turn a real estate deal!

There is nothing to stop him from using fossil fuel. He can walk or bike everywhere he goes, sit in the dark, etc. What’s stopping him? C’mon, Harry, show us how it’s done!

“The lights and air conditioning in Las Vegas run on coal”

Um, sure about that? There’s a little thing next to LV called Hoover Dam with a little spinny thingies at the bottom called hydro-electric generators.

They have coal fired generators as backup, to ensure that Megatron doesn't escape.
