I am all for alternate energy. But until a real scientific breakthrough is made to make it cost effective to the middle class, get real. We need oil and all of its byproducts to continue growth.

Greenie weenies – ever see how many green house gasses a volcano spews? How about over Yellowstone? The methane bubbling up from the ocean floor?

Where’s the science in this. Or are feel good speeches all you are going to base your opinion on? (Watch Gore on his jet flying as a single passenger to Europe to get into a huge truck and drive all over the place).

I’d like to know what a lot of the communities where the expansions are slated for taking place are like. Here in Detroit, the Marathon refinery is located in a Black and Latin@ neighborhood next to several schools. This is being treated as a huge environmental justice issue here and I’m interested in finding ways that students can link issues and efforts with community leaders working on stopping the expansion.

This is going to be a huge environmental justice issue in the Midwest, I’d really like to see stuff from student groups hooking up with community leaders in their neighborhoods to take on these expansions.
