If you are in denial, fine, I understand that. But there's no need to shoot the messenger.

It's estimated 1,000 lobbyists are involved with cap and trade, and you support that corruption? Companies like GE will profit if cap and trade is passed in an industry that does not exist without legislation creating it, and that translates to political influence and propaganda . . for example, MSNBC is owned 50% by Microsoft and 50% by NBC. NBC is owned 80% by GE. Even Greepeace disavowed the cap and trade bill.
You don't know me, or my environmental views, so take your insult about denial and stick it.
You're in Chicago? You consider West Virginia an "in need" state?
At a glance, Chicago, you are "in need" of some lessons in real estate. 101 : real estate never goes up, wages go up. Maybe being a sanctuary city for illegal aliens has helped improve wages in Chicago?

Just sayin'
Not much difference between here and there . . except maybe six years of value has evaporated there.
Just sayin'
Maybe you are "in need" of some education re : coal too.
Coal consumption (most recent) by country
Australia Coal Consumption by Year (Million Short Tons)
World coal consumption - Maps and Graphics at UNEP/GRID-Arendal
Chicago Coal Power Plants :
* Fisk Generating Station at 1111 W. Cermak
* Crawford Generating Station at 3501 S. Pulaski
Both are owned by . . "Midwest Generation, a subsidiary of California-based Edison International, a corporation which sells electricity to Commonwealth Edison. None of the power generated at Fisk and Crawford is actually sold to Illinois utilities, but rather is used to maintain reliabity of the electrical grid during peak times."
You threaten the people of West Virginia, that there would be consequences, because the majority did not vote for Obummer?
Don't worry, nobody will shoot you for being an idiot.
