All the folks screaming for more traditional fuel production at home should have to - at the very least - read that book (I read a good chunk of it at a bookstore recently), and ideally, see what our fuel REALLY costs. Beyond $4/gallon!Kirk Mantayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06556560258304201823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33074830.post-76569766413573427762008-07-01T13:06:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:06:00.000-04:00What an amazing sounding book.

Coal is one of those things I've shrugged my shoulders at. It's terrible, I know. But I figure my state doesn't use too much, coal country is miles away. I had no idea!

I think many people avoid these kinds of books because they are afraid of the truth. People would rather sit in their air conditioned homes, oblivious of how their energy is processed. It is a shame that we are not making a faster transition to green power. My city is in the process of building a brand new coal power plant, which has been met with a a lot of controversey. Sure, we have the technology and even the resources to create greener power. But what we don't have is political and social support. I do think more Americans are aknowledging our addiction to coal and oil, though, and that really is the first step.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636302710099267555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33074830.post-37290877205501331362008-07-01T08:21:00.000-04:002008-07-01T08:21:00.000-04:00Oh my, that book sounds terribly depressing but, a...Oh my, that book sounds terribly depressing but, as you said, terribly important. The bit about science is something we talk about in school all the time. One of the major misconceptions about science is that science and technology are the same, which of course isn't true. Technology is "applied science" and is resposible for many horrors. Science is merely the search for truth. It's how the discoveries are used that is the problem, not the science itself.a/k/a Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499119739368587916noreply@blogger.com
