In our need for more electrical production and to show concern for the environment at the same time, the two sides of this equation need to come together and use just a touch of common sense. Across the nation a large number of our coal fire plants are aging. Many of these power plants are neither efficient nor as non-polluting as they could or should be. Many on the build it cheap side only have profits in mind while many environmentalist are so to the extreme that they hurt the environment more than help it. The idiotic length of time and hearings it takes to get a plant approved, no less built is totally insane. Hurting our ability to produce what we need, keeping electrical cost extremely high, and causes much more damage to our environment. What we have to do is shorten the time period it takes to get a new plant approved, built and on line. These newer plants would be more efficient as for production, and cleaner burning than our older plants (many of which need to be shut down and taken out of the picture entirely). Shortening this process down and insisting that the cleanest technology be brought forth when the plans are originally made, would help us in getting our energy needs taken care of, lower cost on the consumer and get the older more pollution producing plants shut down thus creating a step towards a protected environment. This is an area where we are hurting at the public and environmental levels by the extremist at both ends who in reality only care about keeping problems going for the sake of giving them something to complain about with no intent of doing anything productive for society nor their so called cause. |
