and i don't like it.

By contrast, 36% of American power comes from coal. Per capita, Saskatchewan is one of the single biggest destroyers of the environment on earth. I hope you feel bad for the polar bears every time you flip on your light switch. By the way, since you are so ignorant about coal, you should know that there are other uses for coal beyond simply electricity generation. Producing steel, for example. Obama has helped destroy that industry as well.

Per capita doesn't mean anything, by the way. Our net usage is still very much below what America uses. I don't condone my government's every decision, but I have to give credit where credit is due, Saskatchewan GREW during the world economic recession.

Finally, it CANNOT be denied that coal is a dirty source of power. My original premise. You can deflect all you like, coal is a dirty power source. Maybe I'll say it again, coal is a dirty power source. I wonder if you'll admit that...

Klown.. you do realize that out of the entirety of Canada, Saskatchewan is a small deal in terms of population or production of any sort...

I agree with archaic

Not sure what the point is regarding coal on this thread, Klown, because Obama and McCain have/had exactly the same view regarding cap-and-trade both now and during the 08 election. Yep, 100% the same.. they both are all-in on that. But hey, keep repeating the talking points.

And make no mistake - the reason demand is down is because of Wall Street's fraud in the inducement in the housing crisis, which is not specific to either party.

I've never been sure why "environmentalists" rally against nuclear power when coal is dirtier by any/every measure. The only way for the US to truly be energy independent is a combination of coal and thorium.. a radioactive element which had a legitimately safe plant design quashed in the 60's by GE so they could sell their uranium designs.

wind and solar are good too... but im not against nuclear power either.

Scroll down under the WWII war and you`ll find a couple. War is vital for USA economy since 1950. Therefore, from an "outsider point of view" Obama respected his promises by reducing the participation/retiring from conflicts initiated and fueled by Bush administration.

So for the other part of the world - Obama did what he said he`ll do. And he pretty much tired everything possible to avoid war in the Israel ws Iran fluff ( Bush would have already parked 30% of USA Aircraft Carriers deep into Iran by now ).

yaaay political fluff
