ya know, there is noting wrong with a coal fired power plant. I have worked on some as an engineer.
Most have been upgraded and updated so that they emit almost no carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Yet they also remain the least expensive way to generate electricity for all.
This why and where the term "clean coal" came from. Sure, Anthracite is harder than bituminous but either is perfectly fine to generate energy to make the generators and turbines produce electric at rates that are affordable. I have a few coal fired plants within 50 miles of my house I have driven by multiple times and only thing coming out of smokestacks is white appearing steam due to the scrubbers and removal of the soot that once long ago was spewed from them.
I like coal. I know it is a great solution to a real demand. And I know it is not the pollutant that every tree hugger ignorantly makes it out to be.
I always enjoy those who are really ignorant of processes and how things actually are designed and work always are the loudest to condemn them.
Liberals are almost ALWAYS like this. Don't confuse them with actual facts.
Let's get back to mining America's most abundant resource and using it to provide for the electric that we are really short of.
