Urban Supremists celebrating the destruction of rural jobs.

Panem ruling over the districts for the greater good.

[higgmeister]

What a creep!

[Lean-Right]

So what does this idiot have
planned for our steel industry?

[Red Badger]

One word:

Plastics....................

[Eric in the Ozarks]

What about the ash content ?

Thanks, Ruy...you always have good, pertinent info.

The Navajo Nation will not like this.

[laplata]

Good point.

[DPMD]

What he could do with half a bil is distribute it among all the coal workers for life; instead, as a liberal dem, he prefers to destroy an industry and put them all out of work.

Last time I was in Waterflow, I noticed a brown streak in the air and followed it from Farmington to the APS plant. That was 2015.

Interesting.

Sometime here in Durango we get red dust and everybody calls it “Shiprock dust”.

You know the Four Corners area very well and have probably heard that.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Seen it many a time when I lived at Farmington. We used to joke about Farmington Arizona, as so much of it has blown into the area, maybe Arizona will demand Western NM back as so much of their dirt has blown there.

But plastics are killing our
marine life and polluting our
oceans...quite the conundrum.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The cost of mining and gasifying BTUs from coal exceeds natural gas on an MM/BTU basis and doesn't account for the waste product left behind.

Clean coal—if that's what it might be called, requires a clean sheet of paper.
The larger point is; we don't know how much natural gas remains available, even though the outlook is for plentiful supplies.

Coal has been explored, drilled and can be accounted for.

[laplata]

Lol.

OHIO PING!

Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
