“Never at a loss for cliche', huh.”

“Really? Joan Kennedy was better than Ted? Could list few hundred other examples, but the real point is that your pandering is distasteful.”

“Part math and part nonsense. The economics of building nuclear power plants is not particularly favorable although a few utilities are starting new ones through the permitting process. There are of course engineered solutions to reactor nuclear waste but your statements on that issue are just juvenile.”

“Funny how you're judging how long it takes to build a nuke plant, then note that no one really knows, but logically, it'll take less time than it did with 1970's construction technology.”

“We can make nice with Iran and ask them to build the nuclear plants for us. They just got the green light from Obama on Nuclear power plants.”

“Not to mention those plants would be 100 new terrorist targets spread throughout the US. Yetch!”

“The truth hurts and you speak the truth. Nice to hear the truth once in awhile”

“Bryan, you don't need to sign in under a cover account to push your own blog;-)”

“Compared to the truckloads of material Christians and Muslims have given Bill Maher, I am proud to say Buddhists have been quite a bit stingier in that regard. Still I have no doubt he would have enjoyed interviewing that kid who supposedly meditated for a year in the jungle.

I'd like to see a more serious documentary on the subject of fundie religion in America but instead of being a comedy it'd be a horror movie. As powerful as Max Blumenthal's work is, I can't imagine watching 90 minutes of fundy our-worst-nightmare material in one sitting.”

“I am assuming by your comment, you didn't watch the movie.”

“It was funny. You must have a thin skin.”

“I agree.”

“Well i live in Pasadena Texas, and what really happened is all these big money ticoons did not want to loose one cent on this hurricane, so they decided it would be in the best interest of there deep pockets to keep all these plants up and running along the ship channel as Ike blew on through. Not shutting down the plant with only skeleten crews running them can make for a big ugly mess. And when you have enough money to get away with an ENRON SCANDEL just like our goverment you can blame it on any one!!!”

“Perhaps should actually read what he said.”

“I love that show!

Maybe McChicken could get a red, white and blue "patriotic" eye patch...”

“LOL! Must be smoking astroturf too”

“I think I understood very well what you meant my response wasn't critical about your position on wind energy.

I also agree that we completely screwed up on all renewables. And I am fully with you on the automobile industry being a way, way bigger screwup than clean technology.

My point was that it can not be helped at this point and that shouldn't cry about spilled milk. We simply have to import our hybrids from Japan until Toyota and Honda bring the manufacturing over to the US to create the jobs OR the American companies manage to catch up (although at this point it seems they don't even want to catch up, especially GM is on some suicidal philosophical path in regard to delivering smaller vehicles to the market - it seems they are having a death wish over there). The upside from saving oil by driving Japanese and Korean cars is by far higher than the downside of not having the manufacturing jobs in the US.

Same with wind turbines and photovoltaics. In time we can probably build the infrastructure (and somewhere I read that Vesta is bringing 6000 jobs to the US), but for now what counts in my view is immediate adoption of the technology.”

“Just because a machine has not been manufactured in the US does not mean it can't be used profitably. We do it all the time with our phones, computers, cars and virtually everything that's out there and is not made in the US. So what makes wind turbines different?

Absolutely nothing.”

“Sen. Bom-Boms Peace Plan: first get Iran, then Russia, and then throw in Spain for good measure. Then go gunning for any other countries that we need to police. Wow! He will make the history books...if there is anyone left to write them.”

“and you know how this conversation would go because......? that's right all libs. are so much smarter that those of us who are not. see how that works on election day. have fun twisting in the wind about this selection of vp for the republicans. as i have said before if you weren't worried about it you wouldn't be so hateful.”
