And before anyone starts suggests that government ought to take

taxes would need to go up, and that government-control of energy
production is a textbook example of socialism.


The government has owned and controlled energy production since 1933:

"The Kentucky Sierra Club called the [2008 Kingston] disaster the
"worst environmental disaster since Chernobyl"."
"The disaster continues to poison lakes and stream as well as
potentially the drinking water of millions."

Coal plants emit radioactive materials into the air and store many
more in the ash. With the exception of Fukushima, nuke plants don't.

Wait until we get the Keystone pipeline from Canada to Texas. It'll
be spilling oil into the main rivers (and maybe seeping into the
Oglalla Aquifer) in no time.

And with all the fracking going on nowadays, half the aquifers in the
USA stand to be affected.


How many different seven-to-twenty syllable
toxic chemicals would you like in your water today?


Any that my RO filter and it's carbon pre-filter will remove are fine.
