And old solar cells (less efficient) at the scrap heap

I’m on a rail line from WV to Norfolk and I’ve noticed a lot more coal cars lately
Germany runs out of coal. Isn’t that sort of like Arabs running out of sand? Milton Friedman must be laughing out loud right now.
Shortages of coal & natural gas to produce electricity don’t bode well for the electric car industry.
Montana has a $1,000,000,000+ trust fund from coal taxes.
We ship coal daily.
<;-)
Good thing the world is converting to electric vehicles to fight a non-existent climate change while coal and nuclear power are being killed off. It’s not like half of the civilized world was telling them what was going to happen. Vote for stupid people, get stupid results.
The only reason anyone would run out of coal or natural gas would be liberals and their stupid green mandates.
Good thing Merkel shut down all their nuclear power plants a few years ago so she could virtue signal.
Enjoy shivering in the dark Yurps.
RE:Shortages of coal & natural gas to produce electricity don’t bode well for the electric car industry.
May I disagree? I am pretty sure Electric Vehicles are all charged with electricity generated exclusively by Unicorn Piss. Therefore except from normal supply & demand of commerce.
I hope the MFr’s freeze to death in the dark.
Denmark, the world's most wind-intensive nation, with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity, has yet to close a single fossil-fuel plant.
It requires 50% more coal-generated electricity to cover wind power's unpredictability, and pollution and carbon dioxide emissions have risen (by 36% in 2006 alone).
Flemming Nissen, the head of development at West Danish generating company ELSAM (one of Denmark's largest energy utilities) tells us that "wind turbines do not reduce carbon dioxide emissions."
The German experience is no different. Der Spiegel reports that "Germany's CO2 emissions haven't been reduced by even a single gram," and additional coal-and gas-fired plants have been constructed to ensure reliable delivery.
Indeed, recent academic research shows that wind power may actually increase greenhouse gas emissions in some cases, depending on the carbon-intensity of back-up generation required because of its intermittent character.
On the negative side of the environmental ledger are adverse impacts of industrial wind turbines on birdlife and other forms of wildlife, farm animals, wetlands and viewsheds.
Suck it up Greenies.
Might help boost the Hybrid car industry, though.
It’s the natural gas one that gets e. Abundant safe and clean(er). It’s the left. They hate capitalism and global warming is pretty smart of them.

Merkel said....No more coal...no more nuclear...
Progs are really just a bunch of dummies who highly overrate their
intelligence and abilities.
Such ironicalness. The Nazis made gasoline out of coal because they lost their access to oil
Nothing tastes as bad as cold saurkraut.
Vote to freeze to death.
