...Face it: there's no one fuel panacea, and in the final analysis, humans will have to scale back their numbers in order to live within a finite fossil- (or even renewable-) fuel world. And good luck with that. William L. Seavey, Cambria, California...
...significant amounts of biomass, gasification plants emit as much CO2 as traditional plants. To combat high emissions, Massachusetts’s Senate bill requires that gasification emissions match those of natural gas. What looks like a step in the right direction remains problematic: Ultimately, incentivizing the burning of any fossil fuel, coal or natural gas, is not environmentally sound. To produce the same kilowatt-hour of power, a natural gas plant still releases approximately twice the net CO2 of a photovoltaic plant, three times more than hydroelectric plants, and 14 times more than wind farms. If Massachusetts wants to prevent...

(EIS’s are required for any type of major project that will affect the environment.)The 3,800-page document compiled by the Corps found that Cape Cod’s dependence on fossil fuels, foreign oil, and natural gas would all be reduced by the Cape Wind project.

There is a drastic need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels for national-security, environmental and basic supply-and-demand reasons. The physical and educational infrastructures of the country are badly outdated. In order to have an election about those big challenges, we need to shove some serious social issues - like gun control and, yes, even abortion - and phony character issues...
