Either way, coal can be converted to liquid fuels and gas, further enhancing the supply. Clean burning coal-gas can also be used to generate the electricity desperately needed for the liberals' sacred electric cars.
The coal gasification plants should be built at or near the mining sites. Underground pipelines should be run to power-plants near the filthy communist cities where it is used, rather than the inefficient power robbing high tension transmission lines currently in use.
So what do you claim is the efficiency of a gas pipeline versus the efficiency of a high voltage transmission line?
