I believe that our government encouraging the coal companies and others to build several coal to liquids plants would prove to be an excellent component of the stimulus package. The path to energy independence must certainly include increases iin solar and wind power gernertion but diesel trucks and locomotives must have diesel fuel that can be made in coal to liquids plants. In addition to energy independence, clearly thousands of good jobs would be created in construction, mining and manufacturing industries if the coal to liquids plants are built.

And, according to Mt. Washington Weather Station AMS (American Meteorological Society) report, the 70-year data summary actually shows the summer temperature trend to be slightly down. Real world, the isn’t the slightest proof CO2 has cause and effect to anything except making plants grow. Further, new and recent satellite and ocean buoy data show all climate models got it totally wrong. To justify consumers spending $billions extra for electricity and oil each year based on such baloney science is unthinkable, and unfair. Sorry, Mr. Gunther, but global warming is a lot of hot air, and as more scientists and engineers who know this get heard, that will become totally apparent to the average American as well. They will then stop this dirty CO2 politics once and for all.
