Burning a carload of coal (about 20 tons)
will provide about 20 minutes of electricity in the average 1000
megawatt powerplant (that's the average turnover). Think about how much
coal that adds up to - we now burn about 1 billion tons of coal in the
U.S. to produce electricity. That alone produces 40 percent of all our
'greenhouse' gasses.


All this would ACCUMULATE....IF WE WERE SEALED IN A BUBBLE! But, alas,
WE'RE NOT! The solar wind is blasting the atmosphere with millions of tons
of NEW GASES, continuously.

Case in point:
How much fossil fuel has man burned in the atmosphere since the cavemen
discovered fire? Surely, by now, especially after the Industrial
Revolution poured billions of tons of coal gas into the atmosphere, we
should at LEAST be able to DETECT IT! IT'S NOT THERE....It just blew
away!

another case in point....
For a week after 9/11/01, all spewing commercial planes were grounded
across the USA. Delta Airlines, ALONE, burns 9.4 BILLION gallons of
kerosene every year! That's Billion with the B! Within a DAY, the air
over South Carolina, on the downwind side of the country, was so blue it
looked fake. ONE DAY!

All the cars were still spewing it out, unabated, as America went about its
business. All we had to do to clean the air is GROUND THE PLANES AND LET
THE RICH USE THE PHONES. I've always thought this to be a great idea,
personally, even when I lived on airplanes for the Navy and CG contractors.
Just ground the planes and the air clears right up....without turning off
the power to my house...without choking my cars. Ground the planes Algore
flys on FIRST....then we'll talk...(c;
