Granted, hydropower, especially when it dams rivers like the Columbia, is a mixed blessing. Among other things, it cuts off the usual salmon spawning grounds, unless adequate fish ladders or other bypasses are constructed (and I believe such provisions have been made on the Columbia).

The Colville tribe definitely took a hit with the building of the Grand Coulee dam. But at the same time, the resultant reservoir provided the water to turn an otherwise pretty unproductive prairie east of the Cascades into highly productive farmland, orchards, and vineyards. But as I say, not an unmixed blessing.

A big hassle right now is the move on the coal industry to run coal trains through the Puget Sound area to ship vast quantities of the stuff to China! For one thing, they can't be bothered to pull tarps over the uncovered gondola coal cars, so clouds of coal dust blow off as the trains roll by and drift out and around wherever the trains run. Right through a couple of cities! Black lung disease, anybody!??

Then, the ultimate destination of the coal:   China!

Here is the result of all that coal that China burns to produce electrical power:    CLICKY #1. And CLICKY #2.

And this is not at dusk, it's during the DAY!

On its worst day, smog in Los Angeles runs about 93 parts per million.

In Beijing, it characteristically runs about 700+!!

If you want to see a sunrise or a sunset in Beijing, you can watch a tape they play on television ….

And given the prevailing winds, jet stream and all, and given a bit of time, we get it right back here!!

So with due apologies to the Colville indian tribe and to the Columbia River salmon, I'm glad that when I turn on the electric heater on a chilly day, I'm not requiring that someone throw another shovelful of coal into the hopper.

It's no surprise that carbon capture and storage (CSS) isn't happening, it is mostly a pipe dream by the coal industry as part of their suggestion that there is such a thing as "clean coal."

DOE's Carbon Sequestration Program is focused on geologic storage of captured CO2 that would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere. Applied research is being conducted to develop and test different approaches to CCS. Technology testing and development through the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (RCSP) Initiative and other entities will be instrumental to the commercial deployment of CCS. DOE's vision is to fully understand the available CCS options, cost factors, environmental implications, and technological options.

Don, the trouble with damming rivers in the PNW is that it clobbers cultures that were dependent upon the fish and seasonal flooding of those rivers and it submerged a lot of good agricultural land along the shorlines. The Colville reservation is one where the former fishing culture now gets their salmon in cans from the USDA. Not a happy outcome.

There aren't votes to impeach Obama, this thread was another bit of vitriol started by Songwronger. Has it run it's course?

Hydro power is what percentage?
On average, 37% of the electricity to recharge the plug ins is produced by burning coal.

Where I live, by paying extra, you can opt in to 100% wind power. You still get the same mixture of sources but it makes you "feel good" just like the other so called environmentally friendly "feel good" activities. Like Gasohol.

Will the world build 1,200 new coal plants?
Brad Plumer Washington Post

Climate scientists have sometimes warned that it could prove impossible to avoid high levels of global warming unless the world stops building new coal-fired plants. But that's not a simple proposition. Across the globe, there are at least 1,199 coal plants now on the drawing board, according to a new report from the World Resources Institute.

Many of these proposed new plants are in China and India, which account for 76 percent of proposed capacity. Turkey and Russia also have big plans. And a growing number of coal plants are being proposed for developing countries such as Cambodia, Guatemala and Uzbekistan, nations that are looking to cut-rate sources of energy to fuel economic growth.

Grand Coulee dam, Bonneville dam, Ross dam, Snake River dam, McNary dam, etc.

Hydro power up here in the Pacific Northwest. Not only do the dams provide electrical power here, but we wind up selling electrical power to other states, such as California. Also, the dams provide irrigation for farmland, and orchards and vineyards in Washington and Oregon.

Rainfall and snowfall provide lots of water. We swim in it, fish in it, ski on it, and eventually light our houses and power our electric cars with it.

Non-polluting. No CCS required.

There is no CCS being done. It is not known if it will ever be done.
There are only approx 28,000 plug in electric cars in the US.

If you have other facts, please present them instead of your talking points and vicious ad hominem attacks.

"If we had" does not point to a fact.
"CCS could be done" is not a fact until it is being done.
Actually the use of "if" and "could" indicate things that have not happened and therefore are not of any substance.

And where are any facts to support your talking point about the deficit "was" cut in half?


Carbon Capture and Storage is a losing propositon as it is estimated to require an additional 30% to 40% of the plant's electrical output to accomplish this task. In addition, coal plants already utilize 12 to 15% of their produced energy to clean their emissions (precipitators for ash, SO2 & NOX removal for the bad GHG gasses); and they still produce volumes of GHG gasses.

Sierra Club: "A caveat to consider is that when coal plants supply the majority of the power in a given area, electric vehicles may emit more CO2 and SO2 pollution than hybrid electric vehicles."
In 2012, the United States generated about 4,054 billion kilowatthours of electricity. About 68% of the electricity generated was from fossil fuel. 37% from coal

A moot point because there are only 1an estimated 28,806 EVs in the US as of 6 November 2013, Slightly short of the 1 million Mr Obama's is committed to.

Bombshell: National Black Republican Association Files Articles of Impeachment Against Barack Obama (aka Barry Soetoro)

A conservative black citizens group, the National Black Republican Association (NBRA), has filed detailed articles of impeachment against Barack Obama, calling for his removal from office over the National Security Agency spying program, the prosecution of whistleblowers, wiretapping journalists, his torture program and the cover-up of Benghazi.

Though the group associates itself with Republicans, many of the articles referenced deal with activities that the Obama administration has engaged in with the full support of establishment Republicans, such as the NSA spying programs, illegal torture and treatment of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden.

"We, black American citizens, in order to free ourselves and our fellow citizens from governmental tyranny do herewith submit these Articles of Impeachment to Congress for the removal of President Barack H. Obama, aka, Barry Soetoro, from office for his attack on liberty and commission of egregious acts of despotism that constitute high crimes and misdemeanors," the articles begin....

ARTICLE 1

He has covered up, delayed, impeded and obstructed the investigation of the Benghazi Battle.

ARTICLE 3

He has authorized and permitted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a division of the Justice Department, to conduct Operation Fast and Furious...

ARTICLE 4

He has authorized and permitted confidential income tax returns information from the Internal Revenue Service to be provided to unauthorized individuals, organizations and agencies.

ARTICLE 5

He has caused investigations and audits to be initiated or conducted by the Internal Revenue Service in a discriminatory manner...

ARTICLE 6

He has (1) authorized and permitted the National Security Agency to conduct or continue electronic surveillance of over 300 million average Americans...

ARTICLE 7

He has authorized and permitted the Department of Justice to wiretap and secretly obtain two months of telephone and e-mail records of Fox News Reporter James Rosen and over one hundred Associated Press journalists....

ARTICLE 8

He has thwarted Congress by (1) failing to enforce all or parts of laws duly enacted by Congress, including the Defense of Marriage Act, the No Child Left Behind Act, and the Affordable Care Act...

ARTICLE 10

He has intimidated whistleblowers and brought twice as many prosecutions against whistleblowers as all prior presidents combined. Egregiously, while refusing to prosecute anyone for actual torture, he prosecuted former Central Intelligence Agency employee John Kiriakou for disclosing the torture program....

What a guy! Instead of calling him a flip-flopper, I guess one might admire his willingness to learn as he goes along.

From Wikipedia- and there's lots more there:

"He (Bob Barr) authored and sponsored the Defense of Marriage Act, a law enacted in 1996 which states that only marriages that are between a man and a woman can be federally recognized, and individual states may choose not to recognize a same-sex marriage performed in another state.[53] At the 2008 Libertarian National Convention, he apologized for the part of the Defense of Marriage Act which prevents the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.[54]...He now supports same-sex marriage,[55] opposes the Federal Marriage Amendment, contending it is a violation of states' rights,[56] and supports the Respect for Marriage Act, which would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.[57]

Terrorism
He voted for the first USA PATRIOT Act,[58] but only after his amendments adding "sunset clauses" were added to the final bill.[59]...He now publicly regrets[34] his Patriot Act vote.[61] ]

Controversies over Barr's personal conduct
In 1999, during Clinton's impeachment trial(which he led, Eb comment), Hustler publisher Larry Flynt offered money to anyone who could provide evidence that a prominent Republican had engaged in an extramarital affair. According to the American Journalism Review,[74] investigators for Flynt said that Barr was "guilty of king-size hypocrisy". In accordance with his public offer: Flynt subsequently paid a sum of money to Gail Barr after she had made a sworn affidavit.[14] Investigators reported that Barr invoked a legal privilege during his 1985 divorce proceeding, so he could refuse to answer questions on whether he'd cheated on his second wife with the woman who is now his third."[75]

In the 2004 presidential election, Barr left the Republican Party and publicly endorsed[82] the Libertarian Party presidential nominee Michael Badnarik.[83] ... Following his statement that he would not challenge the Republican incumbent in the 2012 primary race for Georgia's 14th congressional district, he subsequently indicated his return to the Republican Party...

In Congress, Barr's strong stance against medical marijuana put him at odds with marijuana policy reformers such as the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). Despite this historic antagonism, in March 2007, Barr reversed his stance on medical marijuana[89] and began lobbying on behalf of MPP.[90][91] This new partnership saw Barr working to repeal his very own "Barr Amendment"[88] – the amendment[89] that overturned a voter-approved medical marijuana initiative in Washington, D.C.[90] and bars consideration of similar initiatives.[92]

On November 4, 2008 (as a presidential candidate), Barr received 523,686 votes, 0.4% of the national vote[133]

Bob Barr to Aid Jean-Claude 'Baby Doc' Duvalier in Haiti

CNN reports that

A former U.S. congressman was among a group of American attorneys accompanying former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier as he spoke in the country's capital Friday.

Former Republican Congressman Bob Barr said he is not serving as Duvalier's attorney, but is in Port-au-Prince to consult, assist and be Duvalier's voice to the international community.

Barr represented Georgia's 7th District in the U. S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003, and was the Libertarian Party's presidential nominee in 2008. He currently practices law and runs a consulting firm based in Atlanta.

According to Channel 11 in Atlanta,

Jean Claude "Baby Doc' Duvalier has returned to the country after 25 years of exile.

The Duvalier family ruled Haiti as their own personal fiefdom for 30 years.

They did so with a secret police force and all the tools the dictatorship could muster against its impoverished citizens

Four days ago "Baby Doc", the son of "Papa Doc", returned to Port Au Prince from exile in France.

He is now facing human rights abuse charges and needs some good representation. Enter Marger and Barr.

Bob Barr is campaigning for a return to the House of Representatives. He initiated the impeachment of Bill Clinton. I don't like Barr, but it looks like it'll take a fascist to get rid of a fascist:

ALEX JONES: I think what you're hinting at is if we put you back into Congress, you are going to start investigating bringing charges of impeachment up in the House?

BOB BARR: Alex, I was with some folks just recently and pulled out of a file in my office the House resolution, the House resolution that I introduced on November fifth of 1997 that was the very first official inquiry of impeachment filed against Bill Clinton and that was mine. And at the time I think I had 18 co-sponsors was all, in November of 1997. And what I did is I took that document, figuratively kind of dusted it off, added a little bit of language to it and darned if it doesn't sound pretty good with Barack Obama's name in there.

JONES: Oh man. So I think it's safe to say when you get back in Congress, the evidence is already there, you're going to start looking at the inquiry to begin looking for co-sponsors for indicting the president in the House, and I guess he will be tried in the Senate?

BARR: I think it really has come to that. It's not something I like to say. When I left the House before after we impeached Clinton, you know, my hope was we wouldn't have to go through that process again. But we do. Mr. President, you are not above the law.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2014/01/29/bob_barr_is_ready_to_impeach_another_president.html

Obama recently told French President Hollande, "That's the good thing as a president, I can do whatever I want." He's wrong about that. If Barr has his way, Obama will be impeached. The Senate might vote to convict him too, because he's so toxic right now. The important thing about the whole affair wouldn't be the simple removal of flunky Obama, but the exposure of the banking crimes he helped perpetrate against the American people. And the gun-running murders in Mexico, and the use of the IRS to target political opponents, and so on. Once all of that is revealed, the U.S. government can begin to right itself.

Okay then we get some other flunky to take Biden's place.

Further screwups occur.

A call is made to impeach whoever replaced Biden!

Total confusion!

But wait! A saviour steps forward at this time of constitutional crisis! Chongo Chimp announces that HE will take over, disband both the Democratic and Republican parties and make them illegal!!!!!!!!

Hundreds of millions of grateful citizens pour into the streets at this incredibly good news and appoint Chongo the first American Ape Emperor for Life by acclamation!!!!!!!!!!!

Bananas drop by 5 cents a pound!

Mangos aren't allowed into the stores until they are actually RIPE! Jubilation greets this incredible news.

Chongo declares an end to all USA military interventions in any and all foreign nations and starts closing down all USA military bases in foreign lands. Drone strikes cease. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines come home....and start doing what they are really there for...protecting the USA itself instead of invading, terrorizing, and fucking up other countries on behalf of big energy corporations.

Chongo shuts down the largest banks, ends fractional reserve lending, nationalizes those banks, and puts the dollar back on the gold and silver standard.

At this point several attempts are made by mysterious persons to assassinate Chongo. They all fail. Chongo promptly arrests 9,000 of the richest bankers and billionares in the USA and sends them to work harvesting bananas in Costa Rica, slaving in the jungle heat for a dollar a day, just like the locals do.

Things start to quiet down stateside....except on Mudcat Cafe, where the same old battles and personal vendettas rage on....and on...and on.

Ah well....even Chongo doesn't have the answer to EVERYTHING! ;-D

The French say they will back Obama and the U.S. if Congress gives the okay for military action.

So,first Congress is going to support the President on Syria (which they will), then they're going to impeach him? Not likely.

Sorry Don, but I think SW may be right here.

Mr Obama appears to be ramping up the MO for an attack on Syria to gain the support of right wing Republicans like McCain, to carry the vote in Congress.
He now seems to be promoting himself as a "war leader" to get back some personal credibility. If this is indeed the case, then Mr Obama is not what you and others imagined him to be.

It was supposed to be very limited strikes as a punishment for using chemical weapons(not yet proven), now it begins to feel like all out war, or at least "regime change"

Very dangerous territory!
