OK Vet, first your comment about biomass... >>" Several people on this board have noted that all of the renewable energy projections rely heavily on adding biomass as a significant proportion of the renewable mix. "<< Listen to Ambassador Klaus Scharioth describe the German plans to be on 80% renewables by 2050...starts at 56:45 of the video after the French Ambassador discusses their plan to keep on Nukes...his first questioner brings up the biomass issue... c-spanarchives.org Btw, the Swiss and Japanese are now going to also eliminate Nuclear as they move to renewables. They will address the issues to get there while we will continue to blow off the tops of our mountains so we can burn more coal to pollute the world and drill deeper and deeper in the GOM to finish fouling that place up. And this statement of yours... >>" Many, including me, agree that a more rational transition of energy use from fossil fuels which are non-renewable to more sustainable mixes of energy, is desirable now and essential in the longer term. "<< How do you expect a "more rational transition" to occur when you have the right wing base, Rushbo etc, and the posters on this thread as your allies? >>" Mitt Romney Attacked For Being Reasonable About Climate Change "<< >>" "I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire. "It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors." Romney also said some rather ordinary things about energy efficiency: ROMNEY: I also want to see us become more energy efficient. I’m told that we use almost twice as much energy per person as does a European, and more like three times as much as does a Japanese citizen. We could do a lot better. I’d like to see our vehicles, and our homes, and our systems of insulation and so forth become far more efficient. I believe that we have a role in trying to encourage that to happen. So far, Romney’s reviews from the right are not positive. His views about climate change in particular put him at odds with many in his party’s base. “Bye-bye, nomination,” Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday on his radio talk show after playing a clip of Romney’s climate remark. “Another one down. We’re in the midst here of discovering that this is all a hoax. The last year has established that the whole premise of man-made global warming is a hoax, and we still have presidential candidates that want to buy into it.” Then came the Club for Growth, which issued a white paper criticizing Romney. “Governor Romney’s regulatory record as governor contains some flaws,” the report said, “including a significant one — his support of ‘global warming’ policies.” "<< huffingtonpost.com
