I'd like to return the favor.
They got coal in NYC?
There’s nothing wrong with little mikey that a good funeral wouldn’t fix.
“Chancellor Angela Merkels government says RWE AG (RWE)s new power plant that can supply 3.4 million homes aids her plan to exit nuclear energy and switch to cleaner forms of generation. Its fired with coal.”
“Germanys increasing coal consumption is part of a global return to the fossil fuel thats cheaper than most alternatives. The amount of coal burned worldwide rose 5.4 percent to account for 30 percent of total energy use last year, the highest proportion since 1969, according to BP Plc (BP/) data.”
Hmph. First no cigarettes, then no soda, and now he wants the city to go dark.
Yeah cause solar power (lol) will solve all of our energy needs. And windmills.
Bonaparte would be insulted.
New Yawk doesn't need coal! Mikey said so! Let'em try solar and wind.
Nanny knows best.
From the Doomberg Diaries:
“Why won’t they listen to me. Why do they ridicule me. Just because I’m only 5’5”. I’ll show them. I’ll ban every stinkin’ weapon including slingshots. I’ll ban 32 oz sodas, maybe even 12 oz sodas. Styrofoam cups? They are gone baby. Then I’ll be the one who’ll be laughing. Ha! Take that peasants.”
The U.S. is reducing coal burning due to oilfield fracking (cheap natural gas), but Europe has increased its purchases of U.S. coal by 73% in 2012, and will buy more from the U.S. in 2013 and beyond because they closed nuclear plants in Germany and can’t pay Putin’s prices for Russian natural gas (no fracking, no competition...so higher prices there than here).
Here are a couple of recent articles about this topic around the world.
Can thorium become the shale fracking of atomic energy?

India keen on thorium-based reactors
Our green weenies will fight this tooth and nail, placing us behind the world even as we have more total fossil fuel available than anywhere else.
‘Coal is a dead man walking’
So is our economy thanks to turds like this.
I guess he hasn’t been in the paper enough recently.
The U. S. has MORE than 175 years of proved, recoverable natural gas, right now! With more and more being found on an almost daily basis. Natural gas has become a virtual limitless energy source due to the ability to exploit it through Hydraulic Fracturing.
The reserves for Oil in North America exceed 250 years. Also more is found daily. That does not include the recoverable oil that lurks below the ocean floor on the continental shelf.
Ever since Drake drilled the first oil well in Titusville, PA we have heard about the end of oil and ‘fossil fuel’ Don't you believe it. We are a nation and a World economy built on oil, natural gas, and coal and will continue to be for at least the next hundred years and probably for many more centuries beyond. . http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertbradley/2011/12/27/americas-massive-energy-potential-awaits-mr-president/
