That would be as effective as telling your cat to educate himself.
My cat is very smart and self-educated...............
Closing all 200 coal power plants now or in the near future will have a catastrophic effect on our electrical system, and further serve the leftist efforts of giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.
We have coal powered energy here. Our co-op owns the coal mines, the rails to transport and the generation plants. Our KWH is $.065. Watts not to like?
“Developing countries desperately need dependable, affordable electricity”
China makes very affordable solar panels and inverters.
Almost all developing nations are bathed in golden sunshine.
Fossil fuels should be reserved for transport and farming use. Humans hopefully will still be alive in 3524.
Most energy should come from solar and nuclear power.
India - 301.6 million cows
Brazil - 219 million cows
China - 100.2 million
United States - 91.8 million
European Union - 88.6 million
The US has about one belching bovine per 20 acres. Do you think that could impact the climate in any significant or provable way?
Millenia ago, instead of cattle, there were vast herds of bison, elk, caribou, etc, in both Eurasia and North America. Plus herds of mammoths, Aurochs and Stag-Moose and other large ruminants that have since been hunted to extinction. So relatively the numbers probably haven’t changed much...............
And China’s coal burning plants are the most efficient, environmentally safe, emission free plants ever built. The Chinese environmental record is impeccable. SMH
EC
Pass a law requiring for every coal plant removed, must build 3 nuclear plants before the shutdown of the coal plant. That will stop that nonsense, or fix the problem.
Montana has a coal tax trust fund of $1 billion + — and it cannot be tapped into without a 75% YEA vote by Bo chambers of the state and a governors signature.
We have a very nice rainy day slush fund...
Love that Montana coal!
$1 billion dollars doesn’t go very far nowadays.
Just ask Zelenskyy..................
Obama had power plants shut down all over the US in his term, from Page AZ to Farmington NM. Still huge coal fields in that area locked up by Bill Clinton, Down in Texas the Lignite plants are closed.
Obama tried to shut down our plant but it was so profitable the company decided to add unnecessary scrubbers to take out the last 2% of the sulfur in the fuel. As a result the plant, in the last 14 years now has a 100 foot tall pile of scrubber waste near the plant. Never had that in the 31 years I worked there.
Mix with asphalt and Pave the roads with it !...............
BTW, where does asphalt come from???????.................
Have these nincompoops ever considered that?........
These plants burn more BTUs of fossil fuel to build the solar cells than the solar cells will ever produce in their entire service life and put more CO2 into the atmosphere than a fossil fuel power plant to produce the same amount of power.
The green economy is a fraud
Cave man finds burning rock human life advanced.
Let the Greemies freeze in the dark if that’s what they demand.
I Agree!!
DISCONNECT all the Greenie Weenies from the grid. Let them live net-zero for a FEW YEARS.
ALSO, no back-up generators for them either. ONLY Solar and Wind.
Let them PROVE they know what they are talking about!!!!
