Mandated - CO2 Emissions to Equal 1990 Levels

I can't seem to help myself - I see this insanity and it drives me nuts - who are these morons? Did you know that the United States economy is 85 percent fossil fuel based? Also, the best estimates for alternate fuel use in this country might reach 18 percent by 2020.

Get this, the restrictions on power plant emissions of carbon dioxide will be mandated to levels seen in 1990.

The Electric Power Research Institute explains that we must meet these new restriction by the year 2030. EPRI estimates this would prevent economic growth equivalent to 2 trillion kilowatt hours - this is half of all the electricity consumed nationwide last year, 2006.

The EPRI believes this mandate will not happen unless nuclear capacity expands and that effective carbon capture technologies become available for general use.

I know this will not happen as the liberal left hates nuclear. They hate anything that doesn't benefit them directly and leaves others at a disadvantage and Research and development can not be mandated or gained by consensus.

Demand for power is growing twice as fast as the expansion of generation capability - What ever happened to common sense? Maybe this idiot crossing the ocean on body fat will have the answers we need, do ya think - NOT!

Hang on, keep the faith - the battle is joined!
