As to the person (don't remember who) who mentioned new coal plants are not as hazardous, check this out: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/us/07coalash.html?ref=todayspaper Hey, bill, I deal with construction “debates” all the time, so any disagreement on a point here is just that…besides, it is what keeps it interesting.

But it sounds like the the Bible he is going to let us come close before he steps in. Just like lots of others when we relay out thoughts on any topic it makes sense to the one typing the message, however not everyone will understand me any more that they will understand what you say each time. But there is nothing wrong with people disagreeing. As I feel that the Nuclear plants have a pretty good safety record, I don't expect everyone to agree. God bless my brother, no harm has came from yours or my opinion. Just conversation. Darryl I agree that you can’t throw caution to the wind, and no God will not let us distroy humanity.

As to the religious part, bill's second paragraph infers by association a sense of protection from basic hazards of the world by God: "We are not saved for pain and hardship of this world but saved for a future world." Bill, you may not have meant it as it appeared to me, and if so, sorry, but my point still stands, for there are those who think God would not allow humanity to destroy themselves, in fact there is a more fringe group who actually believe God will not let us run out of oil and will put more in the ground for us, and so we should use it as fast as we want. Funny, those fanatics never discuss safe drinking water, it is things like oil. As to Rush, I'd agree he is a lot of things, but devout in a religion isn't one of them but he does manipulate the religious in his audience from time to time. I mentioned him for he propagates the notion that we can not do harm to our environment: http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201002020036 On his argument that there can never be too much CO2, that is not correct; look at Venus (from a scientist I know): How dangerous is a buildup of carbon dioxide in an atmosphere? Back in the 1940's, scientists thought that the planet Venus would be a lush, tropical planet with a very warm yet quite hospitable surface. If it had a nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere like the Earth does, it would have an average global temperature somewhere around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. But Venus has an atmosphere that is almost entirely carbon dioxide. The average global temperature is 900 degrees Fahrenheit. At those temperatures, nitrogen combines with other materials and is depleted from the atmosphere. Sulfur is baked from the rocks where it escapes into the atmosphere to combine with hydrogen and oxygen to make sulfuric acid. All the clouds that keep us from seeing the surface of Venus are concentrated sulfuric acid.

Nope, not what he said. Besides, why do you include Rush in with Christians? He doesn't act in a manner consistent with the teachings of Christ. Nor did big b imply bad things couldn't happen to Christians. In fact he clearly wrote: "Bad things do happen to good people. We that believe in and live for Jesus should never fear the things of this world. We are not saved for pain and hardship of this world but saved for a future world. As Christians we don’t belong to ourselves but bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus." This doesn't mean he wants to see if he can destroy this world but that he knows we all die someday and he has hope for an eternal future . REGARDING:

Plants that have been in this area for many years and provided pretty good jobs for this area. Even being a police officer, ambulance driver, EMT, fireman and just being a school teacher has elements of danger. Working in a convenience store, drug store, super market, hardware stores fast food. Where can you find a job that has no danger. My question now in do we live off fear or hope and faith. Bad things do happen to good people. We that believe in and live for Jesus should never fear the things of this world. We are not saved for pain and hardship of this world but saved for a future world. As Christians we don't belong to ourselves but bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus. All the people that write the mean and hateful things, that attack anything that others say. These are the instigator's who love to stir hatred and want to see people rise up against each other.

Go to Betchel.com Click on ongoing projects. Look at at the new coal burner they are building in Il. Praier State Energy. Then click on beacon of hope for Il. It will tell you how much it would help this area now and in the future. Also go to the Elm Road project it is steam power The one in Il is a coal fired It will produce less emissions.than the ones that are already build. Husband is at present time on the Prairer State project. It will be one of the cleanest coal burners. I hope that we get a power plant in this area. This would produce great jobs for our children and grandchildren. The nuk plant are as safe as the steam or coal burners. as far as the land aroud the nuk plants I have been to Browns Ferry area several times when husband was working there. The land around it is beautiful. lots of land with cattle. Some of the plants that have been build by Southern Power in the last several years are supply electric as far away as Gulf Shores. I believe this one is the steam power at Prattiville. We need this plant for the future of our children and grandchldren. I agree with John Bryan. Go to Betchel.com Click on ongoing projects.
