i am srry to hear the clean coal thing didnt make the final cut...i honestly thought pumping emissions underground sounded like a good idea

interesting broadcast tho brad gj

Well Done Brad and Desi!!

Karen --- according to Grist.org, there is language in the bill that includes $3.4 billion for "fossil energy research and development," so some of that could conceivably be used for carbon-capture and storage projects (CCS).

Oh, wow, Brad! Des! You rock! I'm donating half my salary to the Green News Report! You look mahveloshz in yer shades too.

Thank you!

Green News with a cold? ewww boogery...:P

How about some concise one sentence analysis with the cursory announcements on the Green News Report !
It's easy to say there is no such thing as clean coal... and there isn't... but why not get people to think and use common sense.
You can even be cute about it.... something like....

"What goes up must come down or as applied to clean coal.... what goes down must eventually come up. We've heard no realistic plan for dealing with the CO2 in the future. Sounds like another major long-term pollution issue like nuclear waste."

You can also point out that the CO2 emissions and global climate change are only one major concern with processing coal into electricity.... don't forget the thousands of toxic heavy metal ash sludge ponds like the one in Tennessee that inundated a beautiful landscape and is ruining the lives of hundreds if not thousands of people, or the smokestack emissions still polluting the air.

On the bird front... I grew up waiting for the first Robin of spring to show up in March to know that warmer weather is coming soon. Up here in Vermont I've already seen flocks of Robins since January 21st, and just saw a flock of Cedar Waxwings yesterday. We've also had the warmest February that I can remember.

Great new feature. Let us know where and when you might be running your Green News on radio on your upcoming appearances section.

Excellent! People I can trust to report facts not fictions doing green news. Outstanding Brad and Desi!

Oh, cool!

Can Wiccan's or Satanists buy your electricity without a sermon?

A Hydrogen splitter would remove the profit. -IMO

30KVA is all anyone needs

PS: I will never pay a CO2 tax, that's a straight up NWO agenda.

when mattoon won the future gen project the bush doe decided not to fund it..i felt bad for the peops of mattoon because they had spent like a quarter million bucks on lobbying/researching then when they beat out tx for the plant..the idea was killed

that being said,i still think working to make coal clean power plants is a good idea,it couldnt happen everywhr because if i understand this correctly, u need a large,water tight cave to pump the emissions into...now the questions i would have r...what happens to the life cycles in those caves? can we make sure it affects only the cave thats used...because yes if it can spread then its a disaster waiting to happen

as far as the sludge disaster goes,if i am remembering and understanding things correctly,that sludge pond was part of a public utility,whoever was in charge of maiteniance deserves criminal neglect charges

so of course we have to maintain safe sludge ponds and recycle that sludge when ever possible

sadly no matter what we do with china/india building a coal plant a week we probably cant stop global warming...that doesnt mean i think we can give up trying,i think it is our moral responsibility to try

drum roll plssssssssssssssssssssss

my house has cut our electric usage in half since last yr at same time

That was an excellent show. Your voices worked beautifully together and the off-the-cuff humor was very nice. One of the problems with many of the on-line 'radio' type commentators I've heard (even the ones I listen to reoccurring) is that the voice is grating and/or there is no humorous touch except for very heavy handed (and hard on the ears) sarcasm. Your audio was very easy on the ears. Desi has a great voice.

Love the report! Keep up the great work
