On the way to the Democratic National Convention today, I came across this billboard. It's by a group here in Colorado that is upset by escalating fuel prices.
Our America's Power campaign has its own billboards in Denver on energy prices and the economy... I'll see if I can find one to show you.

Tucked away in a tiny box in Steve’s attic are a B.S. degree in political science from Saint Vincent College, Latrobe, Pa. and an M.A. degree in public communications from The American University, Washington DC.

I feel we should use only coal, wind, or NG for any stationary power generating plants. Oil should only be used for mobile applications where coal, wind and NG are not practical at this time. Coal, particularly can be scrubbed clean for emissions in stationary plants without a lot of problems, so why waste oil or gas in this application?
