can actually deliver so our two coal plants in San Antonio
keep pumping along. And yes they cause bad air alerts,
something that we never use to get. Asthmatics and
allery sufferers have elevated effects with more crap
in the air. The Carbon atom comes with other elements
hanging off of it, even in the very cleanest coal and the
sweetest crude. And it gets in the air. No one denies this.
(I wont even get into the issue of greenhouse gases
as this is still debatable
as to how much effect humans have on climate.)
I dont know if its the right time, or the right way to do it,
but its pretty clear Obama wants us off the carbon atom.
This article is obviously much more specific than what
I am giving you. Ill-conceived taxes, promises broken,
etc...
As an aside we have had two kids die at our school due
to asthma attacks. There is no PE on air alert days as
both occurred on these days. We have (in this city)
many more breathing related problems that we ever
have after we put up additional turbines and Braunig
and Calaveras Lakes (our coal plants).
The article presents this carbon tax is the wrong way to do it.
Fine. It does make sense.The alternative is...
because we gotta get off
the carbon atom. We have to.

im working on two in texas right now..the windmills are an eyesore and it takes
81 of them to = 1 small coal fired or steam turbine
