Kadizzle and Coal

Coal practically runs in Lord Kadizzles veins. He worked his way through college as an underground coal miner, and work most of his life in the coal industry. However, none of this made him blind to the reality that the age of coal is over. Special interest would love Americans to believe you can clean coal and burn it. The laws of physics just simply will not let that happen. North Dakota could set off on a wave of prosperity by embracing nuclear power, but the coal lobby will not let it happen. There is no way out of the energy mess in the United States unless we embrace nuclear power. Nuclear power has it's problems, but they are small compared to suffocating from burning coal. The Bismarck Tribune which is the local arm of Fox news is such a lap dog to the coal industry that it will not even mention nuclear. Young people get so tired of the backward conservative thinking in North Dakota and they leave. This is the state that voted for Palin, and sadly would probably do it again.
