  1. “Of course coal power kills people with pollution, but there’s a chance the courts will say that’s not your problem – so you have to keep burning coal!” – Braun’s platform, apparently.

    1. Funny that you say that but you support Kamala and Tim who are both in favor of abortion until birth.

    2. LOL. Michael— “I disagree with this energy source so the political party I don’t like is a DEATH CULT!!”
      Wooo, scary. And totally rational…

      IBJ, you need to hire Michael immediately

    3. D.H., the concept that “life begins at conception” is a religious precept. As such, the government has no Constitutional authority to enforce a ban on abortion at either federal or state levels. The First Amendment’s “Free Exercise Clause” guarantees our right to practice religion as we choose.

  2. You actually have a company who is willingly wanting to switch to a cheaper and cleaner fuel source instead of being mandated and now they’re trying to stop them from doing that? Is truly is a topsy-turvy world

    1. Republican politicians don’t like government mandates on business. Until they can use them to help campaign donors.
