I hope if it passes they make an allowance for the arts.

Wow they might start using electric buses. Cool? It sounds good to me if they are proven safe. Does electricity depend on nuclear power? I mean, obvious there's solar but where else does electricity come from? (A little off topic but oh well, was just thinking about the electric busses.)

we have finally depleted and used up our coal sources, biggest fuel now is natural gas, a little cleaner. nuclear is expensive and powwr plants are very old and obsolete. need solar and wind on each building\home not millions in prarie\desert and ocean with even more ugly power lines. also the flora\weeds\vines have enormous energy hidden inside

@1490wayb What? We have LOTS of coal in the US

@carpediem Coal for energy in newer designed coal burning plants is virtually pollution free.

Clean burn technology plants is what our tax money should be funding for our industrial independence.

The by product of coal mining is highly economically relevant.

That byproduct is called coke. It is a crucial element in the making of a vast variety of high quality steels and alloys from raw ore.

The claim that the steel and oil states voted in the Dems is preposterous.
