While 325$$ Million is a drop in the bucket when you are talking oil...its a good start...they have to get the operating structures in place and can expand from there...

What I would REALLY like to see are plants that produce diesel from coal. We could be producing 100% of our diesel from coal which would put a HUGH dent in the amount of oil we import. Many we could even eliminate our oil imports. It is cost efficient whenever oil is over $60 per barrel.

I would like to see the U.S. develop a greater degree of energy independence, and not rely quite so much on supplies from other countries. Then get over the irrational fear of Nuclear power plants.

The irrational fear of Nuke plants is a problem. So is the EPA. So is 'climate change' hype. Between the three NOTHING useful is being done. The "green" energy producers are VERY HARD on the environment. Maybe harder and more damaging than coal or oil burning. They chew up and eliminate hundreds of thousands of acres of habitat. It takes over 150,000 acres of the really ugly wind generators to produce the power that the Nuke plant in Newport Michigan produces. They are also NOT reliable. Covering the ground with solar farms also destroys habitat.

The 'Greenies' CLAIM that they are saving the earth. How can they do that while destroying habitat? What a joke.

Wind turbines also consume 1,000;s of acres of food producing land...

You can still grow crops on land where the turbines are. They cannot be placed where wildlife habitat is.

you lose the land they sit on which is about 1/4 acre alone....and then the land that the access roads take...it adds up...

There are 1000's upon 1000's of acres of land that the government pays farmers not to grow crops on.

You are correct and it does add up. I was thinking more like when the wipe out ten's of thousands of trees on the tops of mountains to put those ugly things on. Then they use herbicides to keep the trees from coming back up. Real "green".

They also interrupt some of the flight paths for the migrating birds...

Somewhat, but there has been a lot of conflicting stories on that subject.
