As an enviro and former SClubber and all that, I have seen many a move made to limit emissions from coal plants. We have been very successful.

What pisses me off is that so many other breathers never once raised their voice to help. Usually if a voice was raised, it was to hurt us.

We could have had cleaner air. We could have been down to 350 ppm CO2. But no, everyone else had to protect their kingdoms. So here we are, scrabbling around under heavy skies, fearing the worst.

To anti-enviros, I say, get the hell out of the way and STFU.
