dunno, there's activity going on in the coal industry that doesn't make a lot of sense if the "smart money" thought that the Cap'n Trade crap was going to happen. Did you ever see the movie "Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome"? I think of the scene where MasterBlaster turns off the methane generated power and forces Tina Turner to admit that he runs Bartertown. Master: Me order! Me Master! Me run Bartertown! Max: Sure, that's why you live in shit! Master: Not shit! Energy! Max: Call it what you like. It still smells like shit to me! Auntie Entity: For God's sake, what now? The Master: Who run Bartertown? Auntie Entity: Dammit, I told you, no more embargos. The Master: More, Blaster. [the Blaster puts all power out] The Master: Who run Bartertown? Who... run... Bartertown? Auntie Entity: ...You know who. The Master: Say. Auntie Entity: Master Blaster. The Master: Say loud! [the Master turns on the town loudspeakers] Auntie Entity: Master Blaster. The Master: Master Blaster... what? Auntie Entity: Master Blaster runs Bartertown. The Master: Louder! Auntie Entity: Master Blaster runs Bartertown! The Master: Lift embargo. [the Blaster turns power back on] I still think that the coal companies should turn the juice off for a couple of days just to bring people back to reality.
