Let's Hear It For Those "Green" Europeans

You know, the people who are so into averting climate change?

They care so much about stopping climate change that they are now building coal-fired power plants at a rate only a little slower than that of the Chinese. Saying you want to avert global warming and then building coal-fired power plants is like saying you're against teen-age drinking and then lowering the drinking age to 11.

"Clean coal" is inherently contradictory. Saying that "coal can be a green source of power" is like arguing that you can be a virgin because you only had oral sex. There is no technology now for capturing the carbon dioxide that is emitted from a coal-fired power plant. It isn't the soot or ash from a coal-fired plant that contributes to warming the planet, it is the carbon dioxide emissions, and no type of power plant emits more CO2 than a coal-fired one.

The Europeans can stop lecturing Americans on global warming, for we now see your true color and it is not "eco-friendly green", it is "polluting coal black."
