I'm not in control of the air conditioning where I live. My parents choose what to do with it. Also I don't agree with those 32 coal plants as I would much rather seen a more sustainable energy take over. Oh and no I don't know how many tons of all that is in the atmosphere but I'm assuming you know, otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up, do you have statistics, and where each of these poisons come from? Or are you just throwing baseless facts at me? *waits for you to twist something*

Thus you want other people do be told what they can and cannot do since you have no say over your own life. Very sad.

Don't be obtuse. They come from the coal plants. I'm not doing your research for you, you can google that yourself.

You may not be able to control your mommy's AC setting, but you could sure help out by turning off your computer and saving some electricity that way. Just a thought.

I could but that isn't going to make the coal plants go away will it? The only thing it will do for me is prevent me from educating myself about whats going on in the world. Also I'm not the one who claimed that there where tons of this **** in our air, you claim it, you back it up. And if they come from coal plants all the more reason to move away from coal energy and quickly.

It would sure help decrease the energy consumption, even if just a little bit. The less energy consumption, the less coal they need to burn.

And yes, I claimed that coal plants spew tons of toxic chemicals into our atmosphere. I also claim that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. I don't feel the need to prove either to you though as it's (or should be) common knowledge. Please feel free to educate yourself though, don't let me stop you.
