Re: Dem's fossil fuel policy

Its always been my assumption that if the fruitloops ever killed fossil fuels like they want to the public backlash would be the end of them.   Folks tend to like eating and being warm.   Its coming.

Re: If you stupid idiots would just ...

... install carbon capture on your coal-fired power plants nobody would have any reason to complain about coal.  But you won't because that would just make coal that much less cost-efficient.

  A single-cycle coal-fired plant is only at best 33% thermodynamic efficient,  combined-cycle barely 60%.  In contrast, wind & solar is 100% efficient because the energy is free.

  A next-generation nuclear beats natural gas by a mile.

Surrender Monkeys’ larger strategy is to roll over for the global fossil fuel fascist alliance.

china is building more coal fired plants for electricity to make your solar panels.
