Is Expanded Fossil Fuel Exploration & Clean Coal Part of Green Energy Policy?



Yes: We need all the energy sources we can get to achieve energy independence

Begrudgingly Yes: They aren't going away, so until renewables can take up the slack, let's use them

No: Fossil fuels may be with us for a while, but the future is renewables and that's what we ought to be promoting

No. How often must it be said? Conservation would be much more effective than any other "source" of energy. New exploration and development will only keep us addicted and disincentivise any change in our consumption. Any expansion, or even maintenance of the status quo, is nothing but a handout to Big Energy at the expense of the environment, our health and the economy.
