I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100%, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong….

This article sounds well, but how everything is related together?…

I didn’t agree with you first, but last paragraph makes sense for me…

Are you sure it will give the results expected?…

The term is used colloquially for any kind of Linkback. This enables…

I enjoyed reading your blog. It is so interesting reading other peoples personal take on a subject….

I can not agree with you in 100% regarding some thoughts, but you got good point of view…

I never said it was bad Paul - I simply pointed out that Neufeld’s claim that it was a proven technology was and is a lie. I happen to be a strong advocate od algae (’pond scum’) research - AS YOU KNOW!

“YOU are attacking what, Ben? You are attacking Neufelds “algae” idea, YOU are attacking technology.”

LIE PAUL! I have never attacked the algae idea. I have attacked the BS claim that it is ‘ready for prime time’ as Neufeld claims.

“Wind is only a supplement.”

LIE!

“Solar is not ready for prime time”

It is a lot closer than algae!

“OK, maybe that idea won’t work, however —

YOU have yet to give an idea that WILL work”

MORE LIES! We HAVE shown technology that works. Neufeld has not with his deliberate lies that even you now admit “maybe won’t work”

“You greens are not at all willing to say that you want to hurt the economy … ”

MORE FRESHMAN LIES! We scientists do NOT want to hurt the economy. Unfortunately you coal advocates don’t want to admit that you want to devastate agriculture, kill ag jobs, screw up the food supply, deplete our water, etc etc etc. We scientists understand such things.

And, those of us who have taken economics and finance understand the interlinking of agriculture with the rest of the economy.

“I want what is best for my State and for America.
I do not like screwed up backward ideas that cost jobs and raise prices.
You will benefit, as well, from energy conservation and environmental protection, just as I will.
Even if you are not smart enough to appreciate it”

And I suppose all those off the grid homes are just fictional like this one:

The term fits you greens pefectly!

It is the greens who want to role back economic growth and progress.

YOU are attacking what, Ben? You are attacking Neufelds “algae” idea, YOU are attacking technology.

OK, maybe that idea won’t work, however —

YOU have yet to give an idea that WILL work, you and your green buddies just want to tell the rest of us what to do, damn the cost, damn the hardships that you cause!

Where are the alternatives, Ben?

Wind is only a supplement.

Solar is not ready for prime time, and will only be a supplement.

Furthermore, if you want to talk about honesty, you anti-coal people keep showing dirty, sooty smokestacks, when you know that most of what comes out of a MODERN coal fired plant is steam.

You greens are not at all willing to say that you want to hurt the economy, kill jobs, raise prices and stop economic progress because of “global warming” so you are trying to make people believe that these plants will spew dark black smoke into the air?

YOUR side is being dishonest, Ben, and you know it.

Uh no.

These plants sap Kansas water and sour Kansas air to provide an excess of power to sell to Colorado.

The greatest source of energy that we already have is that which we waste.

I don’t know what financial stake you have in this venture Paulie. But given your….zeal, it must be considerable.

Tough.

Kansas is not required to allow the construction of pollution plants to feather your nest OR your cap.

Get past freshman econ Paul; maybe even take a little science.

You CONS are Luddites.
———————————–
Really Ben, you need to pull your underwear out of your crack and not get so cranky.

Besides, micro algae is not a bad term. It may well be a solution for producing bio-diesel and scrubbing co2 from systems, using a saline solution.

There is much research going on with micro algae. Not all of it is bad as you infer.

“The proposed coal plants will be very clean.”

Tell me Paul; why did Neufeld fell that he needed to lie about the supposed microalgae pilot plant would “have rendered the expansion nearly carbon-neutral”? That lie was clearly demonstrated; they have now scrapped that part of their proposal.

Get past freshman econ Paul; maybe even take a little science.

You CONS are Luddites.

Sooner or later, we will get a politician who really has a pair, who will tell the American people that the fault for high energy prices rests with the Environmental Left.

We NEED energy.

There is NO other source of energy that is a available and as cheap as coal.

The proposed coal plants will be very clean.

You libs are radicals.

The public hates high gas prices, today.

Tomorrow, they will hate high electricity prices.

It is YOUR fault, tree huggers.

The public will, increasingly, begin to blame the Democrats for high prices.

Good point, Jed. The only problem with your reasoning is the assumption that Paul has any credibility to sacrifice. He does not. Thus, he can lie away with impunity.

Hate the sin not the sinner.

There is no reason why we can not explore alternatives while, at the same time, encouraging production of existing energy supplies.

We did not STOP doing anything else, while on our way to the moon!

How can you be so certain of that Paul? Scientists I know disagree with you - at least if we get moving.

I remember when JFK said we would put a man on the moon. Naysayers like Paul proclaimed “not in your lifetime or mine”.

So, if I hate the Nazi genocide of the 30s-40s I am irrational. OK.
