Some comments to the Guardians’ “Big Coal gets Frosty reception”
Every time I see a picture of mountains with their tops missing, my heart sinks.
Every time I see a picture of the tar sands project, my heart sinks.
There is something terribly wrong with both these “technologies” it is wrong at the heart level, the head level and any other level you care to add.
Surely, this is most people’s reaction to those same pictures?
How politicians dare to dress this up as essential or supportable I don’t know. They are closing their eyes and minds in exchange for the power and money bought by these big businesses.
If they opened their eyes, just for once, surely the world could use $60 Billion that is Sixty Thousand Million dollars (60,000,000,000) to start building something better.
I would rather see a sea of windmills from my windows than Tolkeinesque Mordor mountains and blasted-lands-forests.
These twin evils are a visible stain on our planet.
