    Coal still used in the here and now, and export market is growing. Might as well have them get it from us than somewhere else...

    Which in now invalidates or changes anything I've said. Coal, like all fossil fuels, is a limited resource. Be it by market forces or by simply running out its days are numbered. It is best that we begin the conversion now to alternative means of energy production while we have time and can do so in a safe and orderly manner.

    So Trump can say "clean coal" all he wants to but its days are numbered. And that is simply a fact.

    What I'm saying is you don't know what you are a talking about. You and so many short sited people look at what is right in front of you but don't both to conciser the big picture. The short term is California may have a budget surplus this year, but that doesn't erase the billions of dollars that California owes. I had a budget surplus this month but I still owe on my car. Just because you have spare cash doesn't eliminate what you owe.

    You seem to think that California exists in a bubble. It doesn't. If all the states you listed go belly up first shouldn't being you any comfort. If all the states you listed go down, even if before California, then we all go down.

    I've applied the correct freak bonus to you. I will not have to suffer from you again unless I get modded down to your level or you get modded up to mine. But I got to say this. Sometimes your posts seem sane, even insightful. But other time you seem like a raving, homophobic, racist loon. You really are a confused odd duck

    These are stories I like to read about. Trump may be trying to save a dying coal industry but I just don't see it happening. What I see happening, just as I hoped would happen, is companies realizing that being Green is a asset. I believe they are seeing the same things I'm seeing. An that is more people with money to spend are starting to think about where the shit they are buying comes from.

    This is a good thing.

    Just to say fossil fuels days are numbered. The fat lady isn't on the stage yet but she is defiantly in the opera house if not warming up back stage.

    California imports a great deal of water from the surrounding states, with a lions share of imported water coming from the Colorado river. A simple fact is that California uses more water than it produces. The fact that California has been under a drought for the past few years doesn't help. Here is some reading to bring you up to date on the California water problems.

    California has made great strides in managing its water issues but there still problem. California simply doesn't have native water resources to address its current usage.

    Granted, that I know next to nothing about cannabis. I've only smoked it once in my life, and I've only been drunk once too, and I can say that I didn't care for ether feeling. But that is just me. Honestly, I would rather be around a bunch of people smoking than drinking.

    I've never been to a party where people where drinking and the cops didn't show up at least once. But I still remember my last college party where it was just a bunch of friends and friends of friends sitting around smoking. At some point I went to bed. I woke up the next morning and they had cleaned the house top to bottom, vacuumed, and someone had even organized my comic book collection.

    They call cannabis the devils weed. Funny, I don't see it.

    You do know that California is one of the largest food growers in the country, right?

    You know that California is one of the largest food producers because it imports most of its water to grow this food from other states, right? No of course you didn't.

    It's idiots like this and Pope boy up there who think that California can stand on its own. It can't. It only has the large economy because its is attached to a Larger economy called the United States. With out the United States there would be almost no industry in California. An certainly not enough water to support the overblown sense of self importance that is California.

    The $9/g stuff I get at the dispensary is barely even the same beast as the Mexican schwag

    No surprises there. Everyone knows the Mexican's grow the best.

    This is why you need to elect me president in 2020. I'll legalize it, then I'll work out a deal with Mexico on trade so they can bring it across without use of catapults. I'll make it required mediation for congress and anyone who watches Foxnews or CNN. An of course with anything government there will be a small tax on it.

    This as president I will solve several problems at once. I'll will make America great again by moderating the asshats, solve the countries deficit with one tax program, and at the same time eliminating poverty in Mexico by supplying them with a steady export product.
