The first gripe I had about Rush Limbaugh was how often he mangled the science and seemed proud of his illiteracy. Many FReepers are the same way :-(

Not to mention the total lack of scientific understanding by O'Reilly.
While I don’t consider myself illiterate, I will admit that there is much I don’t know about energy. For instance, my husband recently took a tour of the Grand Coulee dam in WA state, where the docent told him that the dam was capable of providing electricity for most of the West coast, but the power goes unused. She said that Puget Power buys the power from just one turbine, but there is much more available.
So, why are we worrying about alternative energy, when we have more readily available power than we need?
Why don't you expand on that Ace and give a few examples. Probably should zip up your little flame retardant suit as well.
OK, explain the “science” to me, please.
Be forewarned, I work in the electric biz...
Yes, I agree. It's really the only thing that bugs me about Limbaugh, and some others in the conservative movement. Science should be our friend. And, it does no good to have a reactionary disbelief of everything scientific.
It's truly shameful how scientifically illiterate (and economically illiterate) so many Americans have become. And, it's doubly painful to see many in the Republican base embrace scientific illiteracy.
You're right, nobody is as smart as they think they are.
Amazing how many here has bought off on the climate warming scam, and believe that the oil industry solely controls what the price of oil is. Many intelligent Freepers here, but also a couple "sheeple" too.
