#1 I would suggest something else, but it would get me sinktrapped.

#4 I'm actually not a big fan of coal either, but that's not at issue. Nuclear & natural gas, shale oil & offshore drilling are all good options. Cheap, plentiful, clean. No worries.

What these guys are working toward is no energy at all. They quite literally want us all huddling cold and in the dark. First, they came for the coal...

#5 Actually, there would still be energy, and running water too, but only for the ecologist caste.

#6 New truck sales are down. They say its the new EPA regulations. I say business is down. I know for a fact railroad traffic is down. They have parked engines at this time. The double stacking of freight cars continues and tunnels dug to accommodate this new stacking car system. Cost savings to railroad is main reason. The coal to China has slowed. The coal mines are being closed. Five former coal fired power stations have converted to gas. Trucks aren't hauling coal anymore and pulpwood hauling is dramatically down in my area. So if retail sales are down also, trucking has got to be hurting. I had commercial trucks and sold out. With the DOT,EPA, transportation costs and taxes you are a mule. I'm glad I got out. Those able to get out are if they can.
