FY 2007 funding for faith-based Community Based Abstinence Education and related block grants amounted to $204 million. The administration has $270 million penciled in by FY 2009.

So with this amount we can expect to be able to afford a few monks to pray for better solar panels!

Looking at how much the government spent on the wars after 9/11, it could have put a $20K solar system on every house in the country. With that kind of electric power we could start to move some transportation over to electric.

21 million buys what a few hours in Iraq? This is so shamefully sad its almost beyond words.. how the hell did we get ourselves in this position anyways? The American government has utterly failed its citizens or maybe we failed ourselves.

Need money for stimulus package?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ASHINGTON (AP) — The Energy Department on Wednesday canceled a futuristic, virtually emissions-free coal plant scheduled to be built in Illinois, saying it preferred to spend the money on a handful of projects around the country that would demonstrate the capture and burial of carbon dioxide from commercial power plants.
"This restructuring ... is an all-around better deal for Americans," said Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman in making the announcement to scuttle the FutureGen program.

Authentic Reproduction
Female Sperm Whale
Fresh Frozen
Marijuana Initiative
Conservative Think Tank
Born Again
Butt Head
or my favorite: Fresh Smelt

I always liked 'smart bomb' and 'airline food'. 'Clean Coal Burning'...lol, that's definitely my all-time favorite!

But seriously fellas, now the coal lobby can't point to this and say, "We'll be clean in a few years, so you have no argument against us."
This provides ammo for every locality that wants to deny new coal plants in their area.

The Bush administration and Congress recently have added some doozies like:

"Healthy Forests initiative"
"Clear skies"
"Patriot act"

I couldn't resist. Here are a bunch more.

I have even heard it referred to as "low carbon coal."
