Lawmakers: going where the money is, not the brains

Liquefied Coal Gains Support as Pork of the Future

As usual and what should come as no surprise, legislators are auctioning off your future to the stupidest, least effecient, and most expensive "alternative" energy technology ever: liquid coal. Made famous by the Germans who used it in WWII when no one would sell them any oil. Likely to double green house gases. The coal industry wants a staggering array of long-term handouts from you and me, while they are busy telling shareholders about the trillions of dollars worth of assets they will be sitting on once taxpayers prop up their half-baked idea. My favorite is that they want the Air Force to be forced to buy 780 million gallons a year for 25 years. Once again proving that Republicans (and Democrats too when the pork is in their backyard) believe that "Free market" means my money is free for them to take. Guaranteed to increase global warming, while doing nothing to encourage conservation: that's America!
