LOL: The Cruel Irony of Trump Bringing Coal Jobs Back

They " looked out " for their Dindu Nuffin " brothas " when they were robbing the corner store ! And looting in Ferguson ! Originally Posted by Rey Lengua

We know you do not read much or do research. You just like pictures and mimic whatever CNN, MSNBC tells you to think. Just once try thinking away from your masters.

I guess now , you'll bitch about the Big Oil subsidies!

You fuckers are gay pretzels

Yes in fact that is exactly wtf I did...and as anybody in the 80's would know who worked in any related field can tell you, plants close if they continue to not make money, coal can not compete with these low gas prices.

But hey, go build a fucking coal plant or invest in power companies that are predominately coal-based

I do not support coal mining, either. Natural gas is clean and produces far less CO2 for about the same price. Plus, gas comes out of the ground in Texas, so The Lone Star State gets the tax revenue, not those dumb fuckers in Virginia.

If they can compete and are environmentally clean then good for them. I'm not anticoal. I'm just not for polluting to planet at any cost.

Coal is a dead end. It is cheaper and faster to build a plant running on natural gas vs coal and it is cheaper to run and maintain. Jobs are being lost to automation so even if there was a surge in coal there would not be a flood of jobs. Instead of getting off their ass and go learn a new trade they sit there waiting for whoever they voted for as president to get their jobs in coal back. Not going to happen

Take two power plants
One is nuclear
The other is, coal especially WV coal and not lignite
Which one has more background radiation??
The coal one, because thorium is in the coal and coal ash certainly is not benign

I agree with you big guy. We won't need the coal for power til the gas runs out 50 years from now, or maybe beyond that. If anyone can ever figure out how to make a decent battery, maybe solar will overtake natural gas, but I doubt it.

Coal is the Dino. Sure with no regulations we could bring down the costs and pollute the fuck out of the country....even China is getting out of the coal biz. Originally Posted by WTF

Coal provided 16% of our total energy consumption in 2015, you dipshit. That's more than SIX TIMES as much as we derived from wind and solar combined. Even after decades of generous government loans and subsidies, your "wind and solar" category doesn't even contribute as much as BIOMASS or HYDROELECTRIC do!

You shouldn't generalize. Like other energy inputs, coal and natural gas fluctuate greatly in price. There's no guarantee today's cheapest option will remain so tomorrow.

If you're talking about power plants, there are dozens of coal-fired plants up and down the Ohio River and its tributaries. The coal is mined nearby, transported cheaply by river barge, then fed by conveyor belts into the plants. All very efficient and cost-effective. Even if natural gas looks like a better option for new plants (and I hesitate to generalize), the existing coal-fired plants represent sunk costs and their operating expenses are low. If you force these plants to shut down prior to the end of their useful lives (as odumbo's EPA was planning with its ridiculously stringent CO2 mandates), it would not only yield minimal environmental benefit - it would also shutter coal mines and jack up electric rates throughout a region that is already economically depressed.

Wishing cancer on people simply becuz da black dude is no longer in the oval office and the bitch didn't win....man, you are lower than snake shit, you sorry POS.

That said...I heard (or read...can't recall) that inventor, engineer, super-rich guy, Elon Musk, is hell-bent on developing an efficient (and inexpensive) "home battery" that would harness solar energy. Do any of y'all know if this is true (or is this simply the stuff of science fiction)? If I've got this wrong, my apologies.

But Absolutely NO apologies to that racist, hate-monger SissyChaps....pleas e go away, dude...you offer nothing positive to this site.

At the end of the day it is an economic decesion. Politicians want to get elected and jobs will usually trump enviormential concerns.
