The New Age of Coal

[bripat9643]

Coal is on its death bed. Get over it you conservative luddites and get with the future. Stop being so friggin afraid of our changing world get the hell out of the way.

Coal will be around for another 100 years, at least.

There will always be a place for a coal, but as a common energy source it is already dying and its dying will be accelerated.

And all Trump's horses and all of Trump's men can't put the coal industry back together again.

No, it's actually not. Developing countries are turning to coal with increasing velocity. Your green energy shit simply isn't viable for countries like Kenya and India. If they want to have a modern industrial economy, they are going to burn coal.

India is making a big push into renewables. As much as you conservatives are in love with that filthy fuel and are willing to spend billions are taxpayer subsidies to keep it alive, most countries will be moving beyond it not least of all because of concerns of global warming.India Launches Massive Push for Clean Power, Lighting, and Cars

Adani builds coal-fired power plant in India to send energy to Bangladesh

When they figure out a way to make steel, carbon fiber, and silicone from recycled hippies ... we may see an end to coal.

Until then, grab a shovel, Paddy.

Seems like your head is exploding!!!

It seems that way to morons.

No matter how hard environmental do-gooders are trying to kill coal, they're clearly not succeeding. According to a new report by the Energy Information Administration, despite the ongoing fear-mongering from the left, coal continues to be a major source of power generation in both developed and emerging nations, accounting for as much of the world's electricity today as it did in the 1990s. As it turns out, coal has proven to be incredibly resilient in Asia and Africa, where it has been pushed up by rising demand.

This information may come as a shock for anti-coal crusaders, but IT should hardly be surprising if the reasons behind its staying power are considered. The stuff is cheap and readily available, making it an ideal fuel source for developing countries around the globe – especially when it's not possible for them to employ prohibitively expensive renewables on a grand scale. Indeed, for some countries, exploiting their domestic coal resources is the only way to attain economic development and create a better future for their populations.​

Op is, as usual with places like American thinker, made up of questionable information presented in such a way as to give a false impression in a reasonable sounding way.

It was known, for instance, that coal use would continue to rise for decades in the developing world. That information is neither a surprise nor unaccounted for in agreements like the Paris Accord.

Yes, it was known because all the claims about the practicality of green energy are total bullshit.

Noooo......, It was known because we know how countries develop and you have to build the tools to make the tools and such.

It's not that hard dude.

Wrong. You can simply buy them. Industrial economies don't have to start from scratch, but they do need reliable energy supplies.

So what's the point of the Parris Accord besides transferring wealth?

It's cheaper to build coal fired power plants than indulge in your "green energy" fantasies.

...cares about coal ash in rivers or lakes? ...

Not to worry, the study the article mentioned was just for a few states; nationwide coal use has been falling for decades as with total U.S. energy concumption:

The two data sets agree pretty much, in fact they fit fairly smoothly when the scales & time frames are reconciled:

If cutting CO2 is important to you, then you'd probably prefer the rest of the world just stopped what it's doing and copy the U.S. (from https://www.bp.com/content/dam/bp/e...l-review/bp-stats-review-2018-full-report.pdf ):

Then why do European banks refuse to lend them money to build fossil fuel and nuke plants , instead afticans are dying by the thousands every year from smoke in halation to heat their homes and to cook.

If the left can get coal banned it will be the largest mass murder in history.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Coal is on its death bed. Get over it you conservative luddites and get with the future. Stop being so friggin afraid of our changing world or just get the hell out of the way.

ya mean the one where Germany went back to it after shutting their nukes down,,,,

 

[Missouri_Mike]

I think the best thing to do is let left wing cities switch over and when it fails don’t help them out. No power from our plants. No generators. Nothing. Go fart on your stupid windmill and see how much energy you can produce before you die.

 

[dudmuck]

More than the 13,000 dying now?

Bullshit EPA propaganda. This figure is based on the assumption that if large quantities of a substance are toxic, then small quantities are proportionally toxic. Of course, that's an invalid assumption. Many studies have shown this theory to be dead wrong.

No one is dying from air pollution in this country.

its not from epa, its from american lung association.
MIT said 200,000 die early from air pollution, 5 years ago.

Globally, the figure is 6 million. although china india are worse than usa.

A study the EPA paid for, dumbass.

China and India actually have air pollution that is bad enough to kill people. When I look out my window, all I see is blue sky and clean air. That's true even when I'm in Chicago.

Your claim is pure horseshit.
