re: #354 mrshankly01

The wholesale slaughter of already-existing jobs in coal, oil, natural gas, transportation, utilities, manufacturing and energy exploration (to name a few off the top of my head) is somehow supposed to be magically offest by ‘jobs’ quasi-subsidized alternative energy endeavors like wind, solar and ethanol?

Look at an election map from 2004 or 2008, then overlay it with with a map of where most of our domestically available coal, oil or natural gas resources are located (admitedly some of the coal-porducing states have been relialbly blue).
