GB,

Seems like some people are blaming all of the global warming on coal burning plants/oil and that the judge and jury have decided for all of us that sun spots have nothing to do with global warming.

I hear ya!! The continuing diatribes about how mankind is causing global warming has reached the levels of a religious Jihad... I can only suspect that folks like Gore will start illiciting the support of the eco-terrorists should we DARE to thwart his agenda.. ;0)

But on the other hand, I DO believe we need to be focused on air pollution, which affects all of us which is why I advocate hydrogen as a fuel. But I recognize the costs of this are currently prohibitive until fuel cell technology advances to the state where they can be massed produced at the necessary levels.

But Tar Sands, and other alternative fuel technologies are near and dear to my heart because they present the opportunity to secure our nation's energy needs from politically stable countries (as well as our own agricultural sector).

And aside from the national security considerations, I find it delightfully ironic that companies are able to make money from actually CLEANING UP the oil from those tar sands. After all, isn't the fact that there are billions of barrels of oil "spilled" in this area by "Mother Nature" nothing more than a massive environmental rehabilitation project?

It strikes me that mining the Tar Sands is one of the most environmentally friendly acts ever undertaken by the energy sector.
