Let’s hope the debate was broadcast in Pennsylvania.
But the coal miners daughter from Stratton would not be where he is today if he did not pander to big coal and oil in the past. Like he said last night, HE is the Democratic Party and what HE says what the platform is. Own it (new tag), Droopy Eyed Biden
Then you're old enough to remember this bumper sticker - "Split atoms - not logs"
That was when environmentalists actually liked atomic power. Before the communists took over the environmental movement.
“Trump needs to hiy biden hard on natural gas.”
Biden didn’t say he’d stop the building of natural gas power plants.
He didn’t include it in his short list if items, but he did say that it would ALL be renewable energy. So you get him on what he said.
Actually, depends on tree. A hundred year trees will naturally sequester CO2 until next century, when we’re certain to be in some other mode of energy. A twenty-year tree, yes, will have to be buried. Buried at sea seems to be the best way.
UR nutz
“but he did say that it would ALL be renewable energy”
Good point. I heard that but didn’t reach the proper conclusion.
The debate was a crap show, but the Trump campaign got more sound bites they can use in their commercials than the Biden campaign did IMHO.
They did that because nuclear power plants produce components for our, ahem, nuclear missiles.
Neither was I.
How old are you?
I don’t recall seeing that.
I guess I never read bumper stickers as a kid.
“The beauty of using CO2 from electrical plants to frack is that the cost of the process pays for itself in new supplies of energy. “
Look up project Tundra. It will rely completely on government paying for every ton of CO2 sequestered. It’s a 100% drag on the US taxpayers.

I still remember the 1970s and the vicious anti-nuke propaganda put out by “back to the earth” magazines in those years. They got a big nuke plant, which had started under construction near here shut down.
True, but I can say with absolute certainty that in general, the cost of TRANSPORTING the natural gas will be much lower than the cost of transporting coal. That's one of the big advantages you have with any commodity that can be shipped by pipeline.
More “words of wisdom” from Biden. If he really knew anything about the “renewable energy” he’d avoid talking about it. Plenty of knowledge about it that’s available out there & you’d think these “educated” folks would read it.
You realize we have pumped coal via pipeline?
The coal fired power plant in Laughlin NV recieved its coal from the four corners area. Pipeline was almost the length of I40 across AZ.
If we use coal we likely would never exhaust the known reserves we have.
We should use natural gas for things that using coal can’t do.
Eventually coal will be cheap enough to make attractive for power generation.
Transporting coal must require a lot of processing before it can be done — no? It’s got to be in almost a liquid form, which means it has to be pulverized and compacted at one end and dried out at the other.
No, the coal is not much bigger than rice and then they added ~18-20% water. With the water it had enough fluid to be able to pump without much effort. It also kept the coal in suspension to keep the erosion of the pipe to a minimum. Since the pipeline ran 24/7, so building a large stock pipe that was allowed to dry in the hot Nevada sun was a non issue.
