[Psalm 73]

"Coal is less than 22% of the U.S. Power grid, at least get that part right."

What are you talking about?

1) Coal is 22% of NATIONAL power generation - some locales it is 95+%.

2) And numbers directly from the Department of Energy? Would that be the same DOE headed by Jenifer (Dating Game) Granholm? I'd trust her data about as far as I could throw Fauci.

3) So your point is, what, electric vehicles are our future?

They can have my internal combustion engine when they can pry my cold, dead fingers from the steering wheel.
