McClendon speaks out against OG&E's proposed plant

[bombermwc]

Coal is cheap...but its horrible. I in no way support building a coal plant, and I think it's crap that they want to charge US to pay for the thing. I consider it part of the infrastructure required to provide the service they offer. They should have to pay for it out of their profits just like anyone else in any business. You don't finance a project by taxing the people that use it...it's just wrong.

We definitely need to find a greener solution. Geothermal, Wind, Solar, something that isn't coal. It's nasty, dirty, bad for the people around it and the environment. Get with the program and build something either green or nuclear. Seriously...just not coal.

Hey, maybe partner with those Chesapeake folks and make a natural gas plant? I'm sure they'll cut a good price.

I'm still wondering why the state isn't considering anything but coal or natural gas... it seems that the guys hauling the money bags into the capitol building have done a fantastic job of limiting our choices to bad idea vs. bad idea.

Seriously, nuclear is the way to go here.
