I'm throwing the bull$h!t flag here.... 15 yard penalty.....

the east coast and gulf have NOT had 100 year storms every other year for the last 5-10 years....  

Wind turbines & solar are not going to EVER provide enough energy to sustain GROWTH. Wind turbines are fine if you want to go backwards a 100 years.

We've been screwing around with those two technologies forever; if they were gonna work, they would have done so by now. There is no magic formula waiting to be discovered that will make wind and solar provide enough energy for the masses. There is just no way to get enough energy density out of them.

I've got no problem putting solar panels on your roof, I've got no problem if everyone did and cut down a few coal plants, but don't freaking make me pay thousands more because you wrongly think the 'east coast is having 100 year storms every other year' because I drive an F150 4x4 or I keep my thermostat on 72 in the winter.

Kool-Aid drinkers LOL! @ least U acknowledge that nuclear is probably not a great idea ask Japan or Chernobyl, coal isnt clean ask some people that live in northern NV or near ANY "clean" coal plant. You dont think Katrina & New Jersey are 100 yr storms & the tornado belt has been pretty active, & weather in general is way different in the last 20 or so years Ive been watchin? Who is having you pay thousands, the Republicans/oil barons/bankers & super-rich(not the comfortable that think the Party cares about them) who pat each other on the back with ALL our $s while the Country goes under & they tell you its cheap insurance/everything Obama does fault? Most things that any Prez gets passed dont really have much effect til after they are out of office. Hence Bush's unregulated big business almost destroying our Country as he was gettin out. & I dont know about new solar panel quality(mine are still goin strong after 10yrs), & i agree that wind shouldnt kill birds, but they do have smaller vertical spinning tubines that would cut down on that as they look solid when spinning. But if we could quit subsidizing big oil (who declare record profits EVERY year) & nuclear/coal Co's that make pollution that could outlive our race or minimum just destroy mountains/rivers/towns/etc & spend some of that $ on renewables mayb we wouldnt be so reliant on & paying countries who hate us & we end up fighting wars with to secure oil, to keep polluting? Nature has a way of correcting problems so you can stay in the same circle hoping for a different result or I hope we see some advancement 2 a better world even if it costs me a couple $s before its too late, & no-1s around to blame. We only have 1 Planet, Peace!

Katrina was a category 3 storm, big but not a super storm. It happened to hit in the worst possible place that's why New Orleans got devastated. And since you global warming religious zealots are really nothing but political animals, it's worth pointing out that a Democratically controlled New Orleans was heavily damaged when poorly designed or kept up flood walls failed thanks to typical Democratic corruption....

And as I said before, you CANNOT do anything other than what Rev. Al Gore does which is to shout from your pulpit that storm are occurring more frequently, but when asked to provide proof, you run away. So, I'll put it to you; show me records where there were 100 year storms every other year for the past 5-10 years or simply admit to ....hmmmmm ... let's see...what's a good phrase to use here.... .how about irrational exuberance  ....

The last thing I remember hearing just before the world went silent on the subject was... "we gave you $$$ to repair the levees last year, what did you do with it?"
