Is there really any tangible evidence that any significant bloc of PA voters is going to suddenly change their minds and vote R instead of D on issues like these (coal, fracking) whenever these issues come up, as they do every election year? If so, where is that evidence?
I’m in PA and have been for many decades, and while closing coal mines and limiting fracking might have been winning issues for the GOP long ago, they don’t move the needle one damn bit now in this state (except maybe to the left, since the whole purpose of this is to pander to the enviroweenies).
The U.S. exported $9.7 billion worth of coal in 2021. PA is the 3rd largest coal producing state. Other countries, like China, are building more coal-fired power plants. Old, abandoned mines are an issue, but coal production in PA isn’t going anywhere. If anything, it will increase.
The closing of coal-fired plants will hit the consumer. That excess of coal production no longer needed will be added to the already substantial amount of coal that’s exported, continuing to fill the already-deep pockets of the people who work night and day to screw the American consumer, by whatever means possible.
This is how the Uniparty functions. Democrats are bad because they are closing coal plants. But all they’re doing is increasing the availability of coal to be exported, which is a win-win for the Uniparty, because then, “We all make money, ka-ching !$!
They’re all on the same page, folks. Two arms controlled by one body.
IF Texas secedes-—HOW MANY states will join them?
The Molly Maguires are laughing in hell.
