When your granny’s air conditioning goes out during a heat wave, are you more worried about her life or whether CO2 emissions were politically correct?
How do u think Tesla’s Batteries are charged?
Of course and plenty of it. What do the Rats think is going to power the Charging Stations?
Well, there you go. I don't buy into anthropomorphic climate change. There is no settled science and there is a huge Marxist agenda attach to it. Coal is an excellent, inexpensive and efficient fuel source, particularly the anthracite we have in PA.
Same reason farmers still need dirt.
Hydroponics etc sound sophisticated and clean, but aren’t dominant over hectares of soil for reasons.
So Santa has something to put in my stockings....?
Because the majority of power stations run on coal? Just asking.
We can and already do this all the time. It's called COAL. Coal can be mined and stored. It can sit on rail cars, etc. Coal stores energy indefinitely. When we heated homes with coal we stored coal in the house until it was needed.
You can't store wind or sunlight. This is the fallacy that no one ever talks about.
Fossil fuels STORE ENERGY INDEFINITELY. Wind and Sunlight don not.
Wind and solar is a flat out commie scam.
They don’t even discuss nuclear any more. The lowest cost, most environmentally friendly source of energy currently on the planet!
They just shut down a plant north of NYC. A week ago during a mid level hot day, we all got emergency notices from NYC to “Reduce your electrical use! Turn off A/C units!”.
What dopes. Such an obvious cause and effect. Thanks also to all you who gave your money to the green industry; they simply give it to politicians and they institute policies against common sense energy. Enjoy sweltering this summer without A/C. Well done!
This is a terrific article to remember - but for it’s glaring omission given nuclear (they clearly have given up hope there!)- is spot on.
I don’t know? Maybe they should ask those who still buy/use it? Consuption - world share - cubic feet per capita

Like in making steel.

Keeping this in view, what products are made from coal?
Thousands of products are made with coal or coal by-products, including aspirins, soap, dyes, solvents, plastics, and fibers such as rayon or nylon. Coal is an important ingredient in production of products that require activated carbon, carbon fiber or silicon metal.
Sending the greenies back to elementary school.
Not that they’ll care.
Cuz we’re sitting on a shiiteton of it.
Cuz we don’t hafta import it.
Cuz in some places across this Fruited Plane, ya’ll can go out in the back yard and dig some up and ya got free heat for the winter.
and a bunch of other cuz’s too
Coal is — by far — the cheapest way of turning a raw material into a BTU. If we spent just a tenth of the effort into making coal more effective and the waste products cleaner that we do for electric vehicle batteries, we’d have those flying cars that I was promised in the year 2000 by now.
“Why do we STILL need coal?”
Electricity, PVC, steel, cement, aluminum, aspirins, soap, dyes, solvents, plastics,fibers such as rayon or nylon, activated carbon, carbon fiber or silicon metal, air purification and water filters, kidney dialysis, machines....for openers.
Because it’s plentiful.
Ask the fools of California how well it works depending on wind and solar to power their air conditioning when it is 115 out side and you are caught in a rolling black out.
Meanwhile China i building a new coal plant every week???
And that my friends is the bottom line....reliable and affordable electricity is still here because of C-0-A-L.
