I'm concerned that if we continue on our current path we will not be able to maintain our energy needs. Compounding this problem is the fact that the consumption rate of electricity continues to grow each year.

We now have a moratorium on offshore drilling, a soon to be moratorium on nuclear power, enviro's are now going to court to stop gas indusrty, and have brought a halt to coal mining permits and the construction of coal power plants. I just recently read an article where a large power company which owns several coal fired power plants said that it would not be feasible due to current or proposed federal regulation to retro fit any of their plants under a 500 MW. Basically these plants will run until the new regulation kick in and then will be closed.

The Sierra Club is currently going to court to close three coal power plants in Texas, and others around the country. Envirornmental groups are trying to shut down a proposed coal loading port in Washington that will help the Powder River Basin ship coal to China.

When will this country realize that there is no way this country can meet it's energy demands soley on wind, solar or other renewables.
