Big bad coal is expanding and environmental groups aren’t happy

[Saltwater60]

Me I have no concerns. I’m not surprised and why wouldn’t they be since it’s way cheaper and way better than what they are pushing. These people are morons and need to realize governments aren’t going to put themselves at risk of losing elections to go green. Rising energy costs and availability are huge concerns right now. The only one stupid enough for now is the USA.

Nearly half of the coal industry is still on an expansion course in 'reckless’ mining rush

The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas is the chief driver of the climate crisis.

They're too stupid to realize this is a direct result of them fighting natural gas development.

If you want to transition to wind and solar, you have to start building the wind and solar first. If you try to eliminate the fossil fuel first you're doomed to fail.

I think a 100% green energy transition is doomed to fail regardless. I also think it will be wildly unpopular and that’s why they did what they did. It’s a there’s no turning back mentality. We’ve already invested too much time and money into this and anything else will take more time and money to get back up and running. We’re doomed.

It's like Cortez burning his ships.

Only these idiots are trying to do it before we even get to land.

With quantum advances in modern technology I'm disappointed that the world has turned it's back on coal and nuclear. Somewhere someone is making money on green energy investments and in order to maximize their profits they need to sabotage traditional energy sources. Of course they will have already taken their money out once the whole scheme collapses.

The answer to future energy is "all of the above". Energy use has to match local resources. Solar and wind might be useful on remote locations but don't make sense if you're in the middle of coal country.

Using energy responsibly and conserving are important but some mandates don't make sense.

they turned off the clean and reliable nuclear, what did they expect?

...or Implement AOCs new green deal ...
