But if they tax Americans more, that will solve the problem. /S
Shouldn't thunberg be weeping, wailing and generally gnashing her gums about
this shocking, egregious, and otherwise outrageous use of coal-based energy??
they banned bitcoin mining, that probably freed up massive energy.
The coal trains are running nonstop here in North Idaho. The trains are now 125 cars long and haul 12,500 tons of coal They are hauling Wyoming Powder River Basin coal to the west coast ports and then to China.
We came up to a RR crossing on Friday just as the crossing gates were coming down for the next coal train. Fortunately, our wait was only four minutes. At the next crossing a couple miles to the west, a huge train was fully stopped blocking the roadway.
How are the CO2 spewing Coal Seam Fires doing?
We gave away our industrial base for nothing...
“The result was notable. China — which uses more than half the world’s coal supply”
It still AMAZES me how easily China blew past us economically, without anyone here even noticing.
Oh man the spoiled brat will not be pleased to here this. Not at all.
Fugly Greta should take a trip to China.
China is expanding its coal use, coal for coke use and steel plants. They import coal from as many sources as they can get while we ramp down energy production necessary to support our current population and industrial base which must use fossil fuels as well to support green energy agendas. There is nothing green re green energy, I think.

Post number 7 by ProtectOurFreedom re N. Idaho coal going to China is quite relevant.
China has all its coal in its West. Its manufacturing centers are in its East and close to the ocean for exports. The Chinese railway system for coal transport is still very poor.
This makes it lots easier and cheaper to import coal from Australia, USA and Canada.
