Youth activists confront Coal CEOs with dirty coal at the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming hearing on April 14, 2010. Congressman Inslee gives them a damn good schooling at the beginning and end, too.

1. I give 'em mad points for being there

But they should have made a little more noise or something. The way they kind of just stood there doing nothing looked a little awkward, like they didn't know what to do next.

Oh well, props to them nonetheless for getting out there and doing it.

2. I know what you mean about them looking a bit awkward

Maybe they were surprised that they hadn't been tazered or something? As you say, props to them for getting in the coal barons' faces.

I think the best part of the whole clip was what Inslee was saying. He stopped Carey's disinformation dead in its tracks at the end.

3. Inslee is excellent. The hand rubbing coal barons shudder

in their boots because they know that coal is a dirty source of energy. It is a pity that The Buck determines the future of this earth. It is so true that the love of money is the root of all evil.
