5. calm down, the US has plenty of coal

Edited on Mon Dec-05-05 09:45 PM by rfkrfk

more stuff could move by coal powered electric railroad,
farm tractors and other machinery could be powered by coal.

I believe that in the future, it will be possible to
propel ships by coal power, or maybe even the wind

short range electric cars, powered by coal-derived electricity,
are entirely feasible today

do you think the US military really NEEDS twelve aircraft carriers?

do you think the US really NEEDS to burn 2 million barrels
of jet aircraft fuel per day?

edit, spelling
