You don't have to quit coal.
It’s cheap and plentiful.
That’s what.................
After they switch everything to batteries, batteries will be bad. It isn’t about the planet, it is about control.
Easy answer. The left is against anything that's good for the masses.
China builds a new coal powered electrical generating plant every week... If you have coal, you have a market that wants it... And they don’t care how dirty it is.
They should try to stop breathing it’s just as hard as quitting coal ,LOL
Many moons ago, a real scientist pointed out that some coal is actually stored solar energy.
When I point this out to the Globull Hoaxers and their useful idiots with skulls full of mush, they just babble incoherently.
My first experience with coal was when I got a lump of it in my Christmas stocking.
By the time I was 12 I was sniffing coal dust every day.
Once I turned 14 I would steal from my grandmother to ensure my supply of coal. I knew I should stop, but just couldn't.
Then I was turned on to gasoline at 16 - finally got off coal....
Because it works - it is cheap and incredibly dependable, we have hundreds of years of reserves, people don’t freeze to death when we use it, and we have $trillions in coal infrastructure around the world. Other than that, no reason at all.
Not a damn thing is wrong with it. It’s cheap and plentiful. We can add bag houses and carbon capture and all sort of things to “clean” the exhaust and it’s still cheap and plentiful.
Coal is what people with normal brains look at and want to use when looking at energy needs across the planet.
The problem is China doesn’t give a crap about what they are spewing out and no one can make them improve it if they don’t want to.
Simple it is to empty ashes from a Hitzer coal stove. You shake, and they drop into a pan with an airtight door in front of it.
You pull out the pan, shut the door, empty the pan and put it back in and shut the door again.

Why quitting coal is so hard?
Because it is cheap, plentiful, and most people don’t want to freeze in the dark so that woke, rich liberals can drive around in $100K battery operated cars.
.....Why quitting coal is so hard...,
Because in many cases, using coal for energy is necessary!
Ending climate change requires everyone to be poor.
What is wrong with coal?
******************
Nothing.
It has gotten bad PR, but it’s everywhere and not pricey “to get.”
Right now, coal is the largest and most affordable energy source on Earth. There is a lot more coal around than crude and natural gas. Moreover, coal is widely distributed so many countries, especially in America and Europe, but also in India and many other places can benefit.
And coal is cheap and easily mined.
The only “problem” is that coal is basically pure Carbon, so burning coal will release more Co2 per energy unit than crude or natural gas.
Instead of rejoicing to enjoy release of life giving CO2, this makes coal “dirty”. (CO2 is NOT dirty!)
If you look at the 19the century industrial revolution, it was all powered by coal. The countries with most coal ended up the richest.
Coal was feeding all the industrial advances until about 1900 and it is still the biggest source of energy on the Earth.
