Sorry Greens, Fossil Fuels Are Here to Stay

Great article Joseph. I have held SSL shares for over a year and they have performed superbly given the way the market in general has performed. The US has to make the best use of what it has in abundance (Coal) or we are imposing unnecessary pain on ourselves. It would be no different than the countries in the middle east making the best of what they have - that would be plenty of oil. I propose that our politicians stop listening to ignorant huffing and puffing from tree-hugger types who would like to see us all rollerskating to work. Today's energy companies and our universities a full of smart people who can figure out how to use fossil fuels without ruining the environment,if they can get a chance. It seems that serious discussions about making the best use of our fossil fuels always gets side tracked by extreme and impractical "green speak." I am tired of it and I sure I am not alone during a time when gas is approaching $4 a gallon.
