6. Really? New Jersey burns more dangerous fossil fuels than Maine?
That might have something to do with the fact that New Jersey's population.

One would need to know how to do something called math to grasp this, but that intellectual backwater up in Maine, inhabited, apparently, by hicks has a population of 1.3 million, all of whom can tea party all night, apparently.

By contrast, New Jersey, which has not destroyed its largest source of climate change gas free energy to satisfy the whining of dumb guys from, um, intellectual backwaters, has 8.7 million people.

Fifty percent of our electricity generated in state comes from nuclear energy, although out of state cranks are trying to bring their gas pals new business here.

http://www.rmi.org/rmi/Amory+B.+Lovins">Famous Anti-nuke Amory Lovins describes his revenue sources:

Mr. Lovins’s other clients have included Accenture, Allstate, AMD, Anglo American, Anheuser-Busch, Bank of America, Baxter, Borg-Warner, BP, HP Bulmer, Carrier, Chevron, Ciba-Geigy, CLSA, ConocoPhillips, Corning, Dow, Equitable, GM, HP, Invensys, Lockheed Martin, Mitsubishi, Monsanto, Motorola, Norsk Hydro, Petrobras, Prudential, Rio Tinto, Royal Dutch/Shell, Shearson Lehman Amex, STMicroelectronics, Sun Oil, Suncor, Texas Instruments, UBS, Unilever, Westinghouse, Xerox, major developers, and over 100 energy utilities. His public-sector clients have included the OECD, the UN, and RFF; the Australian, Canadian, Dutch, German, and Italian governments; 13 states; Congress, and the U.S. Energy and Defense Departments.


The total carbon dioxide generated per MWh in the State of New Jersey - and unlike gas bags like Amory Lovins I find any carbon waste dumping in Earth's atmosphere to be unacceptable and so I am not excusing my state - was 685 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, making us number 43 in the nation.

Maine generates exactly the same amount of carbon dioxide - 685 million metric tons - with 1/7 of the population of New Jersey.

One reason that Maine is such a natural gas hellhole is that immoral people destroyed, out of ignorance, the largest single source of climate change gas free energy in the state, the Maine Yankee plant.

Everyone on earth is affected by Maine's disproportionately large dangerous fossil fuel waste dumping habits.

Everyone...


I note that in 1990, that gas hellhole in Maine - created by and for the ignorant - produced just 22% of its electricity from dangerous fossil fuels. Today that figure is 48.3%.

Heckuva job. Heckuva job. I note that Maine is also generating more electricity than it did in 1990. So much for that big, big, big, "conservation will save us" scam being run by air heads living in the clouds of Snowmass Colorado.

Mainers should use some of that Arabian Horseshow Horseshit as "renewable fuel."

Have a nice provincial, garbage dumping evening. Give my regards to your tea party Governor.
