Coal miners slam Biden as White House walks back 'shut down' pledge: 'Trying to destroy the...

If wind and solar were reliable Germany would be building more wind and solar farms instead of bull dosing a wind farm to mine coal. America gets just 12% of energy from “ renewable sources excluding nuclear. Nuclear makes up 8% of US energy. Petroleum is 36%, natural gas is 32% and coal 11% making a total of 79%. A friend of mine is an electrical engineer who integrated the Fort Gordon and the Fort Benning solar farms into the Georgia energy grid. His analysis is that solar energy is variable in production and unreliable.

As an aside he has funny stories about, at inconvenient non duty hours, he had to access the solar power control panels that were located in a controlled access area. Despite contacting appropriate offices etc heavily armed MPs would show up investigating the breach of a secured area, the electrical control area for the whole military base. They drew down on him, this happened several times.

There is no way American can function on “renewable” energy with the technology we now have. To scale up that 12% to 80% just isn’t feasible. Good luck in keeping the supply chain on pixie dust.

I have my Coal stock BTU. At one point it was up $1,000 last week but I know it's going to go back up once we hit the coldest part of winter. When the wind stops blowing and when there's no sun or when it's too hot outside, they're going to wish they had the coal or the natural gas to keep the power plants running.

China keeps building one Coal Power Plant every week so the Greenies who fly all over the world to go to conferences in Davos switzerland, Egypt or japan, flying like John Kerry don't take into consideration that China and India are given until 2050 or 2060 to comply.

We have 800 years of coal and we don't use that much of it compared to other countries like china. So why would you want to spend trillions of dollars purchasing wind turbines or solar panels made with electricity from coal fired power plants from China? The Eco left in the science of stupid!

Coal is an outdated concept that shouldn't be used. More people die from coal burning offsets in the surrounding area of mins or coal generating plants in general. I'm all for expanding natural over coal any day. Natural gas only burns half the pollutes as coal does. An I know someone is going to us china as an example. Oh China is expanding it's coal industry, why can't we. China has triple the population we do. And consumes more resources than we do. We shouldn't lower to their standards, we should be above them.
