"REBUKED" Anti-Liquid Coal Campaign

Wednesday, June 06, 2007
 
My recent blog on Move-On's anti-liquid coal campaign has been "rebuked"!...THANKS to Green Colonies member JAPHET~who is obviously more familiar with the Liquid Coal Campaign than I (or Move On for that matter) and the advantages to our search for cleaner energy.
 
I'd like to reference this instance as one of the Key reasons the Green Colonies Community is being created...and why I try to continue to grow the membership through reaching out to the Leaders in the Green Industry and encouraging them to join! 
 
Debate and collaboration stem the flowering of solutions efficiently and effectively.  As more and more ECO-leaders come aboard...the Richer, more valid, and more usuable the content will become. 
 
Collaboration through discovery, event planning, and project development will ensure that the Green Revolution is well on its way!  In Green Colonies, discussion, debate, and ultimatley Collaboration, set the stage for ACTION!
 
Below is a blog I wrote last week before I had heard about the advantage liquid coal MAY BRING...:
 
Help to stop the big coal give away

Hi,


Congress could vote in the next fews weeks on a bill that would double our greenhouse gas emissions from planes and cars. It sounds crazy, but this is exactly what will happen if a current plan to use "liquid coal" passes. Coal is the dirtiest of fossil fuels and we have a serious global warming problem.

I signed a petition urging Congress to vote no on tax breaks and subsidies on coal. Can you join me at the link below?

Thanks!

Actually, coal is going to have to be a major part of our energy plan over the next 100 years. Fluidized bed coal plants, coal gasification, efficiency upgrades, wind and solar are going to have to displace petroleum in our energy portfolio.  That's the current reality.   Right now, I think about half our electricity comes from coal, and it's the major domestic source of fossil fuel. 

I'm not actually sure which legislation this action is regarding, but I think a major component of these grants is to find ways to "scrub" the carbon from the waste stream of coal plants so that we can turn our major energy source into a more sustainable process.

 I did notice that MoveOn appears to have canceled this campaign, so I can't send them one of my scathing rebukes of their "leadership".
