Downs, I don't believe that the ordinary citizen even knows how electricity is generated....When I drive on 285, east of Amarillo, and then hook up with I-40, I always see train loads of coal. I don't think that most people understands where the coal is coming from and at what price to Mother Earth and those who work in the industry.
My boss drives a ****ing Hummer and he shipped it to Nigeria yesterday, his homeland, and now will buy another one for himself..to navigate the paved streets in our town.
I'll NEVER forget driving to a workshop in Yosemite and we could see intense light west of us....finally, we came upon this obscene electric power plant..out in the middle of beatiful country.....I was blown away by the size of it.
I was on the Navajo Reservation on a summer day and I came upon a machine that was bigger than the house I live in.The earth rumbled under that damned thing. Mining for coal. The destruction that the machine had caused blew me away.....
I pray that every poster on these forums will take the time to learn one thing about how we're throwing the earth away and then do whatever is possible for them to do, to slow down the process.........That, alone, would make a huge difference today..........xoxox pat
