Trump Bringing Back Coal Industry!

[Old Rocks]

Rumble Mr. President...rumble! One great American!
First New Coal Mine of Trump Era Opens in Pennsylvania

Trying hard to keep a dying industry alive. When will he bring back the Model T?

If it employ's people...honk...honk...bring it back.

LOL Really?

Analysis | The entire coal industry employs fewer people than Arby’s

Solar energy in the US employs more people than traditional coal, gas and oil combined, a report has found, in a revelation that could undermine Donald Trump’s argument that green energy isn’t good for the economy.


The latest report from the US Department of Energy (DOE) reveals solar energy accounts for the largest proportion of employers in the Electric Power Generation sector, with wind energy the third largest, while the coal industries have declined in the past 10 years.

Solar energy employed 374,000 people over the year 2015-2016, making up 43 per cent of the sector’s workforce, while the traditional fossil fuels combined employed 187,117, making up just 22 per cent of the workforce, according to the report.

April 12, 2016

DENVER, April 12, 2016 — American wind power supported a record 88,000 jobs at the start of 2016—an increase of 20 percent in a year—according to the U.S. Wind Industry Annual Market Report, Year Ending 2015, released today by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). Strong job growth coincided with wind ranking number one as America’s leading source of new generating capacity last year, outpacing solar and natural gas.

It's not the 19th century anymore so coal is on the way out

I am getting tired of winning. Do you hate natural Gas too? You live off the grid with solar panels only I suppose. You burn wood in the woodstove for heat? we have already been over this. you had no answer on the other 10 thread polluted by: "Coal on the way out". China can't live without it right now.


What is U.S. electricity generation by energy source?
In 2016, about 4.08 trillion kilowatthours (kWh) of electricity1 were generated at utility-scale facilities in the United States.2 About 65% of this electricity generation was from fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases), about 20% was from nuclear energy, and about 15% was from renewable energy sources. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that an additional 19 billion kWh (or about 0.02 trillion kWh) of electricity generation was from small-scale solar photovoltaic systems in 2016.3

Major energy sources and percent shares of U.S. electricity generation at utility-scale facilities in 20161

• Natural gas = 33.8%
• Coal = 30.4%
• Nuclear = 19.7%
• Renewables (total) = 14.9%
  • Hydropower = 6.5%
  • Wind = 5.6%
  • Biomass = 1.5%
    
  • Solar = 0.9%
  • Geothermal = 0.4%
• Petroleum = 0.6%
• Other gases = 0.3%
• Other nonrenewable sources = 0.3%
• Pumped storage hydroelectricity = -0.2%4

In 1990, coal provided almost 60% of our energy. Now it is 30%, and energy demands are being easily met.

P.S. You have to win first before you can get tired of it.

Let's get it back up to 60%

Another narcissistic liberal.
