109. Yes. A few of our bases really are necessary.
I'm not suggesting we abandon all of our defenses.

I favor more alternative energy than you appear to. We need to gradually switch and to do that we have to put a lot more money into study and development of better alternatives.

I do not have the impression that clean coal is going to be the answer. I do not know that coal can really be clean. I say that because I grew up in houses with coal-burning furnaces. We kids were sick very often in the winters. It was horrible.

We should be using oil for purposes other than heat and transportation. We cannot afford to waste it as we are.
