Comments on: U.S. Chamber wants Congress to limit legal challenges to energy projects

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is stepping up its efforts to get Congress to limit legal challenges against clean-energy projects.

If the coal industry (most of these energy projects at projectnoproject.com are coal burning) wants to limit lawsuits, let it stop causing crime, drug addiction and perversion with coal plant air pollution! Aha! Nobody's suing them about that but they would be sued if people knew what I know. Air pollution is too high a burden for us to bear uncompensated. Once coal operators pay for the prisons, insane asylums and sex-change/pornography, they will go broke, naturally enough. It's like smoking and lung cancer. Coal plants and crime/addiction/perversion.

What the holy heck are you talking about... ???

Wow, it's a good thing YOU told us that, or else we would never have believed it.

Dude, did you snort some coal dust or something? You're probably one of those radical environmentalist eco terrorists, huh?

I dont even know where to start on how wrong your way of thinking is here. Is it me of are you saying that coal or atleast air pollution have something to do with sex-change and/or pornography? ***? I really hope for some strange reason read that or understood it wrong but im pretty sure the former has nothing to do what so ever with the latter. Where do you even get those ideas? lol maybe I am just tired and need sleep....

Unfortunately, too many environmental groups oppose "modern" technology, period, "green" or otherwise.

"The center pin at a bowling alley isn't better positioned to do more damage at once than this reckless scheme which would string a power line over eagles, waterfalls, and history," the Sierra Club said in its April newsletter.
Umm, I'm having a hard time with the images in this metaphor... anyone else?

[celticbrewer]

Thank you! I read that 5 times and still don't know what it really means. The power line is a bowling pin? or... the government.. or .... huh? Someone must have put some shrooms in their granola. God forbid we cut a hundred foot wide path among acres and acres to bring clean energy to the masses. for shame!

This site is a rouse to lobby against legitimate concerns about energy projects that are anything but green.. Both Idaho projects listed are coal fired power plants that would have grossly polluted the air. The Chamber is being lees than subtle about misusing the green movement to cover poorly planed projects that are environmental disasters.

There are a lot of environmentalists out there who are really luddites wrapped in flannel, jeans, and birkenstocks.

I'm not sure the 270 day limit to challenges is acceptable as some things don't come up until past that point that should dictate a project be killed. I can tell you that if people observed a housing lot for 365 days there'd be a lot less crap houses put up with leaking basements, blown off roofs, washed out driveways, etc.

Looks to me like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce needs to separate out the non-green projects that have happly added themselves into the list.
