It's not typos, he is just trying to use scare tactics and feels the need to lie to build up his case.

It is about midnight and I am preparing to head to Denver. I am volunteering at "the Big Tent", which is the blogging HQ for the Democratic Convention. Bloggers from all over the world will be there. I will try to send reports to the FreeP website at the "Bagel Street Irregulars" blog. Hold down the fort. I will be back on Thursday unless I can get a ticket to the Obama speech at Mile High. I have to be in Denver at 6:30 AM. Rockin' into the night. Tasha,

At that time, half of Germany's energy came from coal plants. Only info I found was from 2006. At that time, half of Germany’s energy came from coal plants.

Germany is covered with them. It is where they gat the vast majority of their electricity. The number I saw was 80% Bullish, You are correct on the Katrina spills. The number was 1,700 barrels, not 17,000; hardly significant in the big scheme of things. Are you certain the fuel oil spill( I was aware it was fuel oil ) was 400,000 gallons? I thought it was barrels. In any event, it made a god awful mess. Tasha,

Maybe in a couple of decades. "There are already four small geothermal power plants successfully operating in Germany, albeit supplying only a tiny amount of electricity." http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/story?id=52588 Sorry dc, but you are wrong about the 80%.

The spill in the Mississippi resulted from a collision between two marine vessels. It was fuel oil, not crude oil. It wasn't 400,000 barrels, it was 400,000 GALLONS, which is equivalent to 9500 barrels, and it is being cleaned up. During hurricane Katrina, there was no significant amount of oil spilled from drilling. “17,000 barrels of oil were spilled into the Gulf of Mexico during Katrina and, proving the industry doesn’t need a hurricane to make a mess, 440,000 barrels in the Mississippi River a couple of months ago.”

I think Germany is in Europe. You know, Germany, where they get 80% of their electricity from the Sun. Well, I could go on, but why? People who call you down for trusting science don't listen well to liberals anyway.
