Wacko Fringe takes advantage of Tragedy

I think I will start another discussion for those who have nothing else to do till spring. Today is a day in Minnesota that is a practical joke. The sun is out it is 45 degrees and the thoughts of spring and summer are on our mines. The problem is we still have at least 8 weeks to the opening of fishing season and the ice being off the lakes. Till then I will probably keep blogging and causing some trouble. So the anti nuke people or all over the Japan tragedy. Can't wait I guess. They are proud that we have not built a reactor in the US for many years and will use this incident of proof that they were right. Just one more of the wacko fringe elements that practice the "tyranny of the minority over the majority". Gun control is front and center with the shooting at AZ. The oil wacko's are active do to the oil spills. So in order to move forward in energy policy and production, we have to pay homage to a wacko minority: we can not even drill a will, mine coal, build a reactor, add wind turbines to farm land, but we can use corn and up the per bushel price to 5-7$ per bushel (2 to 3 times what it should be, allow gas to go to $4 so that will make wind and bio fuels more reasonable, continue to by oil from countries that would just as soon we were all dead. But for heavens sake do not put up wind, change to nature gas, add a hydro dam,(MAY BE A FISHY THERE), drill in the AnWar, (that is the size of New Jersey). Drill off shore, mine shale in North Dakota, Put wind turbines up and down our great prairie or do anything that could help us get to energy independence again. The political correctness of government policy making has not lead us to a time of greatness. We need to make some hard decisions that are not popular and may not get the public officials reelected. But that would be the right thing to do.
