YT makes a compelling case, his video's are narrated by a guy with an english accent. It must be the smarter one.

I think it's Bush's fault. It has to be. That's the only explanation that makes sense.

Now we can add Wikipedia to your list of "reliable" objective sources, right along beside Rolling Stone, thinkprogress, Salon.com, and huffpoop. :rofl:
As is SourceWatch... :? :suspicious: :rofl:
:lol: Sourcewatch is an arm of the Center for Media and Democracy, a self described "progressive" investigative reporting group. Since they are "progressive", I'm positive they don't have an agenda whatsoever. :suspicious: :rofl:

Except I didn't claim those sources ended the thread. :dunce:

But go ahead. Please tells us how they're wrong. Or come up with someone who publishes in peer reviewed journals or who doesn't believe lead in drinking water is bad or who can't be exposed with his own words. :coffee:

I'll come up with someone, as soon as you find any source who doesn't get their funding by sucking from the government teat or subscribe to some pie in the sky altruistic radical "progressive" ideology. :roll: :tothehand:

Hmmm, that's kind of a tough challenge as just like with oil and most new technologies, renewable energy is going to have all sorts of ties to the government. $'s drive most private research, not altruism or a clean environment. But none the less...
The Best Clean-Energy Startups

Say "energy company" to most people, and an oil giant such as ExxonMobil (XOM) or their local utility probably comes to mind. But in an explosion of innovation not unlike the dawn of the info-tech age, the green era is giving birth to a broad and bewildering array of new companies with big ambitions. If fact, many promising clean-energy startups are hitting the market with products and services that could radically alter how we think of, and consume, power.

All of this activity, of course, is in the thick of the worst U.S. recession in decades. That's because these adolescent companies are beneficiaries of the $96 billion in venture and private equity funding that gushed into green technology from 2002 through 2008, according to New Energy Finance. BusinessWeek and GreenBiz.com, a green business information service, teamed up to pick 25 of the most intriguing up-and-coming U.S. energy companies that you probably haven't heard of—yet. Our criteria: These picks are starting to gain traction with real, innovative products and services for sale, they are not yet publicly listed, they are not yet household names, and all have bona fide venture capital backing and other high-profile investors.

Georgia is a fucking cesspool. Nice work Baldy, PWNydick, and the rest of the GA conk brigade. :thumb:

I'm sure you know-it-all's will be able to find at least one schlub scientist, working for the coal industry, that says otherwise. :lol:
:rofl:

Your own chart seems to say otherwise. :suspicious:

It looks like the baseline for the national average is set at 100. According to your chart, Georgia is well below the national average in every category except one. :thumb:

...and I didn't need a 'schlub scientist' working for the coal industry to tell me that. :kisswink:
I'm gonna give you a pass on this one. :geek:

0=clean 100=most polluted

You're one of the worst. Top 9, MOF.

One would think you'd be a little more receptive to the green message, considering GA is so polluted. :thumb:
