Could you imagine what would happen if billions of tons of CO2 were pumped underground, and found it's way up into a lake or river bed, a forest, or a town?
They are going to have to be indemnified just like the nuclear industry...
Wars and rumors of Wars.... So far in America we have:
War on Syria
War on Afghanistan
War on Lybia
War on Drugs
War on Coal
War on Babies (Abortion)
War on Prosperity
War on Immigration
War on Healthcare
War on Integrity (Patriots are the enemy)
the last and final frontier will be a War on YOU and ME......So get ready!
Nuclear fission has it's own concerns and again is under fire from environmentalists and how many power plants have been built in the last 30 years? You can't even build a nuclear plant in California.
Oil for electric? ROFL
Hydro is limited and has it's own environmental concerns.
Geothermal IMO is the future but it's long way off.
Solar and wind CANNOT replace any of the above becsue it's not base power.
Get over it....

At what point is enough then? I've given the mercury example above, is that practical?
Do you have any other examples besides mercury and radioactivity.....?

Who coined the term "War on coal".... conservatives in response to Obama's announcement. Not that liberals are off the hook here, but it's amusing how these "wars" get coined.

they print lots of money, but give it to third world countries.. like the 7 billion to help Africa's energy needs. they always got money for rogue cesspools.. meanwhile our infrastructure just keeps on crumbling..

It's funny how people are suddenly for spending money on Americans when they hear it is going to Africa.
My turn for what? You're the one bringing up mercury every thread about energy use and coal, got any more tricks up your sleeve?
I've been talking about SOX, NOX, particulate matter, and heavy metals (in general, not singling out radioactivity).
All the above have off the shelf controls that most plants incorperate of at least trade credits for.....The later being on of the biggest trick F$%ks in the world.....

Very true.......
......because govt regulation, not because utility and manufacturing voluntary made these cuts.
