I'm find it purely amazing that there are many leftbots out there who are
now saying that liberals never opposed exapnding electrical generation
resources.
out here in Calif, the left opposed nuclear and new dams for hydro dating
back to the 70's that I know about. The utilities had no choice but to
build
natural gas fueled generation plants to meet the ever increasing demand,
cause mostly by liberals migrating into California.
back in the 70's the libs were saying that we should not burn oil, whe
should convert all automobiles to natural gas becasue it is "clean"
now all that extra CO2 is in theair, and what do the liberals complain
about? CO2 caused global warming!
sigh... against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain
