Isn't it great to be a Liberal. You want all the energy but you don't want to pay for it, you want all the great toys in your home, like big screen tv's and air conditioning and refridgerators and stoves. But as a good Liberal you don't want to pay for the energy to pay for them. Liberals want to spread this lie about Global Warming, and seas rising, and getting our Carbon footprint reduced. But what the Liberals won't tell you is, reduced Carbon footprint means lost industry. Switching over to solar panels is the biggest hoax on the public, just unbelievable. What worse though is you the common people listening to this pile of bullcrap and not questioning your area elected members of government who are joining into these Liberal plans energy management. You are going to pay through the teeth for you home electricity bills, and your home heating bills if you do not start questioning the Liberals domestic energy plans. As you dump coal fired plants from the mix your affordable base power provider is going to be lost and the balance of electricity generated has to be made up from other forms of power generation, that being natural gas fired power plants or nuclear generation. Being that the natural gas fired plants are now going to over burden the gas supply grid the demand will substantially rise as well as the cost per cubic foot of natural gas to the consumer. So as your home electricity bill rises so will your natural gas home heating bill price will rise because of demand on that supply system. It was estimated that by dumping your coal fired plants from the grid will result in an low estimated rise of 70% on your home electricity bill, that being said you should also estimate another equally substantial rise in your home natural gas heating bill.
So people, what do you want? Affordable electricity, and keep your jobs, or do you want super clean air with no factories, big screen tv's that you cannot afford to turn on.

Helen, that would be Harry Nilsson.  

Coconut (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coconut is a calypso written and first recorded by Harry Nilsson.

The third single from his 1971 album, Nilsson Schmilsson, it reached #8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and it features three distinct characters (the narrator, the sister, and the doctor) all sung in different voices by Nilsson. The song is perhaps best remembered for its chorus lyric, "Put the lime in the coconut, and drink 'em both up."

Later that year, Nilsson went to England with producer Richard Perry to record what became the most successful album of his career. Nilsson Schmilsson yielded three very stylistically different hit singles. The first was a cover of Badfinger's song "Without You" (by Pete Ham and Tom Evans), featuring a highly emotional arrangement and soaring vocals to match, a performance that was rewarded with Nilsson's second Grammy Award.[13]

The second single was "Coconut", a novelty calypso number featuring three characters (the narrator, the sister, and the doctor) all sung in different voices by Nilsson. The song is best remembered for its chorus lyric, "Put de lime in de coconut, and drink 'em both up." Also notable is that the entire song is played using one chord, C 7th. Coconut was featured in Episode 81 (October 25, 1973) of the Flip Wilson Show. The song has since been featured in many other films, commercials. It was also used in a comedy skit on The Muppet Show, which featured Kermit the Frog in a hospital bed. In the 1995 movie "Houseguest", Sinbad's character (Kevin Franklin) says the famous line from the chorus ("Put de lime in the coconut, and drink 'em both up.") at one point in the movie. Most recently it has been heard in a television commercial for Coca-Cola with Lime. The song was also used during the end credits of Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.

LMAO... we're all wrong... I just looked it up.

Not JFK, FDR, Tricky "I am not a thief" Dick, or Huey Long.

It was Herbert Hoover, during the 1928 campaign.

Might ask a UK'er, they've been transitioning from coal to gas for years.

In order to take advantage of its domestic reserves, the UK government has encouraged the use of natural gas, including its substitution for coal and oil in industrial consumption and electricity production.    

...the percentage of total energy consumption sourced from natural gas in the UK has increased from 20 percent in 1980 to 34 percent in 2003.

The country is the fourth-largest producer of natural gas in the world, behind Russia, the United States, and Canada.

We seem pretty rich in gas.

So, like the slogan, this doesn't seem exactly true either.

Hoov's slogan was a lead zepplin too with the depression following, but it was more appetizing than William McKinley's "a full dinner pail".  Leftovers go in the lunch bucket I guess.

Kevin,

I'm seriously looking into solar or wind myself.  Jesse is onboard with me too, but we're seeing which works better for our situation/budget.  Some of his family looks at me like I'm weird when I mention it to them.  They're quite old fashioned out here unfortunately...

Anyway, looks like we'll be getting an outdoor boiler first.

Good one, Jimmers      



   

Brew,
If the guy thinks he can make a buck off it then he thinks it will be a good thing. Being a good thing means it will earn money and you can't earn money unless people buy your product(electricity)
If he can make a buck and the U.S. is less relaint on oil then that is a good thing.
A cleaner environment is just a by product but one I sure don't have a problem with.

Many a snarky businessman has made a buck via less than honorable intentions.

All I'm saying is that just because he's invested in it doesn't mean his intentions are all that pure.
