And their vote counts more than yours because they live in rural districts with lower populations. Smh at "democracy."

Am example of what you're saying is Michigan City, Indiana. It's actually a pretty nice little tourist town. I go every year for the Great Lakes Grand Prix. It's just an excuse to go to the beach and drink some beverages. It has a decent beach (very nice by Great Lakes standards), dunes, a zoo, and a coal and natural gas plant right on the water front... It's such a cool place as long as you don't look in the one direction and see that huge eye sore right next to the beach.

We had a coal plant near where I live that's along the riverfront. Thankfully the government here saw sense and tore the whole thing down and replaced it with the largest solar farm in Canada.

I don't know about you, but I'd be admiring it, thinking of how incredible the amount of clean energy coming from it relative to its tiny waste output is. I wish we had way more nuclear power.

The plant is coal and natural gas, not nuclear.

Oops, I misunderstood. Well, down to the ground it goes!
