Promise to apologize when I post proof you're a liar?
It's easy to find those 1400-1900 new plant speeches by Cheney and Abraham, they're everywhere. I'll give you a chance to do a search first and shut up. If you're too lazy I'll prove you a BS artist with his head in the sand. Which will it be? Do your own research now or apologize later?

My search for "Cheney 1900 power plants" turned up pages upon pages of links. He's just the first of man-many, including Cheney and Abraham speeches telling us we desperate need those power plants.

* This is from a lobbying group representing Cheney's buddies the companies that build power plants.

"ABC represents about 23,000 construction and construction related firms in 82 chapters across the nation.

"Today's national board of directors vote sends a clear message. ABC strongly supports President Bush's national energy policy," said Henry Kelly, ABC national president. "ABC believes that the Bush energy plan will provide profound benefits for the American consumer and that the proposed construction of 1300 to 1900 new power plants over the next 20 years will be a tremendous opportunity for the construction industry. "

The Bush energy plan would, among other things:

Build 1300 to 1900 new power plants over the next 20 years, and up to 300,000 new miles of gas pipelines and distribution lines.
Formulate of an energy impact statement for every regulatory action that could "significantly and adversely" impact energy supplies, distribution or use.
Order federal agencies to expedite permits for power plants and power lines.
Expedite approval and construction of a natural gas pipeline from Alaska's North Slope to the rest of the nation.
Support an expansion of nuclear power through plant upgrades, streamlining of the licensing and re-licensing process for nuclear power plants, and establishing a national repository for nuclear waste.
Expedite research into alternative and renewable energy resources.
Environmental and some public interest groups have argued that the Bush energy plan favors industrial interests over environmental and consumer interests.

Going to apologize? Supporting the wrong people aren't you? Liars, polluters and thieves. We probably don't need more than 19 new power plants but they tell us we need 1900. And we need cleaner ones not the high-polluting global-warming coal-burning ones they're pushing on us. Those kinds of plants are the worst for the environment. house.gov

"The policy supports the construction of 1300-1900 new power plants over the next 20 years, the equivalent of one plant a week. "

"That will only work, of course, if we're generating enough power in the first place. Over the next 20 years, just meeting projected demand will require between 1300 and 1900 new power plants. That averages out to more than one new plant per week, every week, for 20 years running."
