But we do have control over production of coal and oil, and nuclear power.

Indeed,

Nuclear energy has by far the highest capacity factor of any other energy source. This basically means nuclear power plants are producing maximum power more than 93% of the time during the year. That’s about 1.5 to 2 times more as natural gas and coal units, and 2.5 to 3.5 times more reliable than wind and solar plants.

5. If the Republican leadership in the Senate had a brain, it would work with Sen. Machin to get W. VA coal back to full production with Europe as our market target.

Use mainly US ships = Jobs, and that means VIP votes in W. Va, Tennessee and VIRGINIA for Republicans....

Get the KEYSTONE PIPELINE BACK IN ACTION. JOBS, ENERGY, AND GOP VOTES.

A FEW MORE MODERN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS.

The answers are there but do we have the guts to do the smart thing?
