Indoctrination to Conservative "Reality"

I didn't apply a filter. I read what they said. I will agree with your belief that white collar crime goes under punished or without punishment at all but the topics that you mention could go either way. While regulatory controls can constrain business, they are also used by business to give themselves an unfair advantage. Without a specific

"So you don't like windfarms; I enjoy the quiet, non-smelly way they generate electricity."

Yes, very 'unsmelly' that 80% capacity that's generated from them using the least efficient/clean generators commercially in operation. The lowest efficiency/clean conventional power stations in operation in the US are spiking stations. Those are the power plants used to generate power when the wind doesn't blow.

You'd have cleaner air going with 100%, more tightly controlled, conventional coal plants used for baseload operations than the 80% prodiced from the spiking plants. You're paying extra for dirtier air. We've seenthis same thing before with ethanol.

There are so many falsehoods and contradictions in your post it’s difficult to know where to begin. I said nothing about ‘clean coal’ yet you felt the need to go on some tirade about it. The irony of your whole post is the more wind and solar projects you get built and paid for, the more conventional plants you also get build and paid for. So in the end (doing it your way) instead of getting 1 base-load coal plant which is very expensive because of regulatory controls you get a cheaper, dirtier plant producing 80% the power but several times the pollution as the base-load plant all with the added cost of your very expensive 20% capable wind farm.

There were no falsehoods, nor contradictions from me, accusations notwithstanding.
