What Fools These Mortals Be

The news is telling us that a protest in going on right now in Washington over their coal-fired electrical plant. They want it shut down.

What sort of idiots are these people? Out in a snow storm, protesting global warming, and wanting their source of electricity shut down. When they finally get cold enough, it's back into their nice warm homes and apartments for a cup of hot coffee or tea, provided by the electricity from their coal-fired plant. And when it gets dark tonight, they will turn on the lights powered by their coal-fired electrical plant, watch TV or play music, all made possible by the electricity from their coal-fired electrical plant.

Well then, do they want us to build a nuclear plant to replace it? Nuclear has no carbon footprint and pollutes nothing. Why hell no... nuclear is eeeevvvillll.

Why does stupidity like this get on national TV?

While water made life possible on this planet, electricity has made our civilization possible. These idiots must want us to return to the days of no flush toilets, no automobiles, no hospitals, no modern medicine, no retail outlets, no prepared food, nothing but hand-made wool clothes and candles for lighting, because even them - as dumb as they are - must realize that wind and solar cannot possibly replace our present electrical plants, no matter how hard they wish it so.

I get my electricity from a coal-fired plant and if these stupid Gumps are successful in blackballing coal-fired plants, my electrical bill will go through the roof. If that happens, I will grateful beyond description if somebody hunts these jackasses down and kicks their teeth in.

So laugh in their stupid faces, ridicule their idiotic ideas, but above all, get them the hell off national TV, before they actually do any real damage to the rest of us.
