Thanks.

Due to current regulations and red tape, it takes about ten years to even get permission to build a nuclear plant, not to mention the tens of trillions of dollars it would cost.

Electric cars use electricity from coal and natural gas power plants to charge them. Building and constructing anything requires use electricity from CO2 producing fossil fuels.

This scam is going to destroy our economy, and turn us into a third world country, if we do not stop these people.

I did not see it either. At least the OP could have offered some context, the link does not support the thread title.

No, he didn't. Gore won 266 electoral votes and Bush won 271. 270 were required to win.

Where have you been? Bush stole Florida. Its time to stop pretending he didn't. He had his 8 years to be a pretend dictator. He nearly ran this country into the ground, destroyed all our civil liberties, our constitution, our economy, and made the world hate us. Nobody is wanting to punish him for stealing the election or almost ruining America. Most Americans are just glad he left and want to move on.

Its kinda like the World Cup Qualifier France Vs Ireland. Ireland should have won, but they were robbed of the game by a handball that the ref missed. Just like Gore was robbed of Florida. I think the important thing is to make sure nothing like this happens again. America cannot afford another G.W. Bush.

Your post is too ridiculous to reply to.
If/when you can post something valid and not crazy fantasies, maybe I can reply then.
