Yes that was my fault. I hope the National Guard thing was a joke haha.
But my original point is that the OP wants advice on what school to go to. He wants the best opportunity to get a good job yet if he accomplishes his goal he will destroy thousands of jobs for others.
JD Janitor wrote:OP, have you researched whether these schools currently run or have ever run on electricity supplied through a coal power plant? Better check that out, choose the school that hasnt or, if both run on coal, do not go. Also, that prius you drive...I hope you make sure that every outlet you plug it into is powered via the sun rather than coal. oh...wait...I just looked up the process of making the battery that the prius uses...its very unfriendly to the environment so you better ride the sun powered bus that will surely be offered through your school.
Don't even get me strated on nuclear power...Japan? hellooooooo

So you would be against my suggestion that OP invent cold fusion technology to fuel power plants?

WHAT!??? Blasphemy!
How can you support someone who's roles tout the unrestricted use of fossil fuels?? ie Top Gun with those gas guzzeling jets and Batman with his ridiculous batmobile and its 4mpg.

The problem with getting rid of it in this area (Southern Illinois), and I assume elsewhere, is predominantly the culture surrounding coal and the view that its use is inevitable.

They point to this as a demonstration of how important coal is to the economy, and how environmentalists are to blame for the declining jobs in the coal industry. This is bullshit, as increasing automation is the cause of these lost jobs (as the industry periodical "Coal News" points out), not EPA regulations without an enforcement mechanism. The Chancellor of the university even said in a meeting that, "SIU is not serious about clean energy". A lesson to would-be lawyers - bring a tape recorder. The anti-coal campaign I was on could have made a mix-tape of that and sent it to every university student. F%& S%*$ Z$*$!!!!!
Anyway.....
The inevitability of using coal. People often quip "But wherever might we obtain our electrons to power our i-Pods, and Youtubes gadgets!?!" The sun. Sheesh. A solar array of about 15 panels, costing $6,000 in materials is enough for most people in most regions (of course the closer to the equator and less cloudy the better) to power their house for 25 years under warranty. Yet the perception that coal is inevitable is literally indoctrinated into this region's educational system at a young age. The coal industry even funds a teacher's retreat every year to teach teachers to teach about coal (I'm not even kidding).
Yet I have a problem that the system (law) that allows this injustice to be carried out on communities also creates the appearance of balance with the designation of "environmental lawyers". There is little that one can legally do to stop a coal plant (I still don't understand how Mercury, Lead, and Arsenic in the air don't qualify as a public nuisance), and thus environmental law seems almost hopeless, until shit gets real (ie; a slurry pond infiltrates a town's ground water and sinks start spewing black sludge). I'm guessing the next high-visibility environmental disaster will be from a nuclear rather than a coal-fired plant.
Anyways...... Coal sucks, ride a bike, plant a garden, put up solar panels. The end.
Oh, and full ride ftw.

You don't think there is evidence which supports the conclusion that earth is in a warming cycle? Or you don't think there is evidence that the warming cycle is caused by humans? Or you don't think there is anything he can do about it? Be specific about your claim here.
