Wharfie, that's hilarious. I note that nowhere did they mention what their great "success" in stopping coal-fired power stations will mean. Hint; electricity users will not have as much electricity to buy as they would like to use at current prices. Your mission is to guess what will happen to electricity prices. This part is funnier: < "There's a strong buzz in the environmental community that we've got Big Coal on the ropes, and we're moving in for a knockout," says Mike Brune, executive director of the Rainforest Action Network, which campaigned against investment banks that were going to finance TXU's $11-billion coal-building plan.> Vicious rumour has it that rainforests like eating CO2 and LOTS of it. They think coal-fired plants are an excellent idea. Rainforests like it wet, warm and with lots of CO2. If trees could vote, Mike Brune would have to get a real job. Mqurice

"There's a strong buzz in the environmental community that we've got Big Coal on the ropes, and we're moving in for a knockout," says Mike Brune, executive director of the Rainforest Action Network, which campaigned against investment banks that were going to finance TXU's $11-billion coal-building plan. And you can bet this jerk and his buddies are also against Nuke plants and dams. Query them, and they will answer, "conservation, solar and wind." Which is moondust, of course, as a solution to the real power needs of civilization. If they get their wish, and cause tremendous shortages and power outages, I wish we could shut THEM down and let them freeze to death in the dark.
