I come to you today from Windy Wauchula FLA...USA. Tonight I will turn every light in my home ON. I will and have been encouraging everybody I know to turn on their lights on tonight during the so called "Earth Hour"
I believe we are being bamboozeled again with useless information from usless people on their usless campaign for usless causes.
1) Usless information- "educating" people by turning off their light will do 1 thing if it works. raise the cost for a kilowatt. How? If we cut our use by say 10% this will decrease usage sure. But if the power company is forced to make do with 10% less they still have the same cost for producing that power. They will just increase our cost to make it up. The taxes for that 10% decrease will also have to be made up. so we will get less for our already stretched dollar and/or an increase in taxes to make up for the difference.
2) Useless people- The radicle extreamist environmentalist are bent on send us back into the dark ages. While I am from the country. (For those of you who don't understand)...rural America. The TRUE environmentalist. Farmers, Ranchers, people who make a living taking care of and utilizing the land as GOD intended. If not for them (extreamist) we would have many times more nucular plants in operation. They helped the extreme left force so many regulations in the 70's that it became unfeasible to build anymore. Thus causing our dependance on foreign oil to increase. The same with coal. We have enough coal to build enough coal fired plants to make oil fired plants obsolete.
If we the conservative American, be you democrate or republican, would unite in our demand for concise, effective and responsible government, would stand at the doors of congress and demand sastisfaction or we would run them out of politics...forever. Run the extreamist into a room and let them know that we WILL make it a matter of national urgency that saving our country from energy destructuin is treasonist in its concept and that persuing this will result in prosicution for treason.
Then we dril, mine, and split till we are energy independent from any other power in the world and that alone would again make us the preiminanate power in the world.
May you prosper behind the shield and live safely behind the hedge.
