There is an easier solution to stemming environmental degradation. Everyone just has to stop having children. Or if you're impatient, just kill everyone.

The mills and factories are going to shut down anyways. Good thing my tax dollars are going to re-educate all those people and get them new jobs.

Can someone tell me why a factory worker loses their job...they have to find the resources to get another job. But when a timber or mill worker looses their job, they deserve a piece of my tax dollars to learn a new trade?

There will always be a large segment of the population that will fight to the defend the stautus quo, regardless of merit, even if the status quo is a destructive one.

Ha ha regarding the tag team duo of Hein and Salmon Slayer popping up and defending their religion, whoops I mean their political beliefs. 99% of scientists are all wrong. Apparently they are not getting the data correct, like the 8 or so "scientists" that are funded by exxon who magically tell us that driving our suv's is fine.

Lets be clear. We cannot UNDO nuclear energy. This stuff is the definition of TOXIC.
We cannot store the waste, and there is not an insurance company this side of the milky way that will insure a nuclear energy facility- save our gubmint.

A true libertarian quack should be against gubmint intervention into commercial enterprise, yet it appears that the nuclear energy industry relies entirely on our gubmint in order to even exist.

I have a solution. For every nuclear power facility that any energy company builds, they must first place 5 trillion dollars into an escrow fund to be used entirely for the inevitable cleanup. Oh, they can't do that you say? But, after dirty energy disasters these companies seem to always rely on gubmint ( our money ) for clean up and bail out. This way we are guaranteed that the perpetrator will pay the cost, not the public.

"the mills and factories are going to shut down anyways." - pdxmonkey

I think u should put your money where your mouth is and come do a townhall meeting up here. The topic could be " The inevitable (and soon) demise of timber and other heavy industry in the lower columbia region". Show all us uneducated redneck hicks your astounding intellect and grasp of the issues. Just be sure to use pictures on yer PowerPoint cause we're basically illiterate right? I'll invite some of the morons that run Weyerhaeuser, Longview fibre and Simpson. Along with steelscape, usg, tidewater, and a handfull of logging companies. You can wax eloquent about how the end is near. What da ya say?
