Not an attack. If my business interests were coal based, I may have a problem with clean energy as well. Just saying.

I make egonomic machines the chinese for reasons I can't tell don't copy. perhaps they tried and still can't, but never the less i get boxes of test sneaker from (name brand i can't say) and assorted other chinese junk for crap sneakers to test the machines with before they are shipped. These sneakers are total junk too.

It simply mystifies me, and I fear touching the sneakers with bare flesh.

I am not alone in this.... There are a very few other people involved.

The part I don't understand is the testing to wear thin gs out and because the end product is junk in the first place. These sneakers won't die of wearing out, because they will fall apart long before the parts wear out.

I still got Frye American made boots from the day I turned 19. Not that's lasting wear! i''l be 61 on that day soon coming in Nov! I still got fine hiking boots made by Limmers in Intervale NH from 1976. At my age i know what is lasting and what never will be....

Cheap chinese crap is all you get when you buy junk made in china. Now when I want junk .............

usually the chinese steal other people designs and patents like Honda's engine designs... Then the chinese cheap that up and you can buy more junk engines...... Horrible stuff I won't even try to fix them... All it would do is ruin my good reputation.

hotair what energy is clean.... You name one and i will tell you how dirty it is...

Solar? Is it clean? Is it really?

Is it sustainable? Is it?

Wind? ......... well.........

What else is clean....... The 2 above are not close to being clean.....

Sulfur scrubbed coal is very clean and has higher if not the highest BTU's. And sulfur is found in nature just as it is.

Why is sulfur a problem? It is i will give you that but why?

More?

Besides plastics and material to make a slew of assorted products from bio waste of oil which fuel is the first to be refined from crude oil? Why is that fuel cleaner than gasoline?

I could go on for a long time, but you and any one like you isn't going to study and come up with any answers.

You are going to just tell guys like me and the coalman Obama knows it all and so you don't need to know it at all. Because he says so it's true. I am, willing to bet money Obama can't turn on a BBQ....

Again you're attacking the messenger and not the message.

What do you know about my business interests?

The fact is that Romney is just out of touch Independent voters.
