Obligatory, 11.17.15; Terrorism won't stop no matter who is elected

It looks like Time magazine is backing up Bernie Sanders in his claim that climate change causes terrorism.   One would think that the only thing you could do if you disagree would be to vote for the GOP candidate.  That's because, for all intents and purposes, Hillary isn't going to be any different from Sanders on the issue.

However, the GOP candidates aren't addressing climate change.  Why?  None of them believe it.  But that is not a good enough reason not to address climate change.  I am of the opinion that neither side of the political spectrum is much interested in addressing the solutions to this issue, an issue which coincides with where the terrorism problem is originating in the first place.  It originates in our addiction to oil, which is largely supplied by the facilitators of terrorism.  We can break that addiction, and punish the facilitators because we have a potential solution to that problem if we were to use the lowest cost form of energy now available, which is coal.  America is the Saudi Arabia of coal.

The claim will be that coal is too dirty, but that isn't correct.  Coal can be cleaned up.  Since energy can clean up any form of chemical pollution, then what better alternative is there than coal which is the cheapest form of energy available?

Any form of chemical pollution can be cleaned up with enough energy because chemical pollution is just chemistry.  And coal is just chemistry, too.  Not to mention that it is cheaper.  Since it is cheaper, it can replace oil, which we use to power our economy.  In the bargain, we get richer, while our enemies go bankrupt.

While we break their economies, we just may get better behavior out of them.  If not, at least they are less capable of causing trouble.

You'd think the GOP would advocate that, just to distinguish themselves from the Democrats.  But if they are, I haven't heard anything about it.  Therefore, terrorism will still be funded through our addiction to oil from the Middle East, who are the main culprits behind the scourge of terrorism.
