Will it increase our electricity bills? Yes? Then it’s a big deal.

The renewable goals aren’t happening. Since people actually like heat and air conditioning, coal will still be around at about current levels. Just need to wait the bastards out.

Tell that to the thousands of coal miners, auxiliary personnel, and coal plant operators being thrown out of work.

Will we ever be allowed to build new nuclear power plants ??

I’ve heard that the newer technology of nuclear produces far less nuclear waste than the older nuclear plants still operating today.

And nuclear produces no greenhouse gases, which should make liberals happy.

But because of Three Mile Island and an insipid Jane Fonda movie, we aren’t allowed to develop nuclear power in this country anymore. What a way to make public policy decisions, based on a movie.,..........

The Marxist is killing U.S. energy suppliers. Yet most folks are distracted by a dead lion.

Tie it up in court for 18 months. Or ignore it.

Agree. Everyone needs electricity. Those who don’t drive don’t need gas but this one is designed to inflict the most pain it can in the name of bogus relief for the planet....

I will burn some charcoal just for fun if it’ll irritate the left.

Remember a few years back when Al Gore and the otherlimousine liberals convinced a bunch of their cultists to turn their lights off for an hour or something like that?

We turned on everylight in the house and even got our big incandescent flood lights and turned them on. Laughing inside the whole time.

By the way, when Gore’s monthly electric bill was estimated a few years back, I saw that he burned more in a month or two than we did in a YEAR.

Yes. The Tennessee one. Remember the picture of him with two or three giant flat screen monitors in his office, used for his desktop?

That image is seared in my mind. Major league phony.

We truly live in a feudal society with our elites thumbing their noses at the peasants.

I am tired of repeating this. No one seems to listen.

Following the exposure of the hoax of the hockey stick theory of global warming and the Michael Mann East Anglia emails, Peabody Energy sued the Federal EPA, demanding that the EPA show new provable science on global warming and the relationship to coal.

Peabody won both the original case and the appeal. Rather than take the case to the Supreme Court, the Obama administration made an out of court settlement with Peabody.

The agreement was that the Obama administration would continue the war on bituminous and anthracite coal, which is mostly mined on private land, east of the Mississippi. The administration agreed to facilitate the sale of sub-bituminous coal, what Obama calls clean coal, west of the Mississippi, mostly mined on federally managed land owned by Indian tribes with the stipulation that the coal be sold and shipped to Asia through new coal ports in WA and Oregon.

The problem is that with the price if sub-bituminous coal being literally cheaper than dirt, they need subsidies from the export- import bank to move the coal.

That is what the deal was between Mitch McConnell, Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray.

And nuclear produces no greenhouse gases, which should make liberals happy.

NASA and the climate change lobby are saying that water vapor could possibly affect the climate. Nuclear power plants put out water vapor, so nuclear energy may not be that safe from climate change campaigners.
