Isn't coal powering your beloved EVs? :winkwink:

That is sort of like *pissing in the pool*

Nuclear is the way to go :)

We shouldn't be handing our tax dollars out to other countries to help them NOT buy coal from us.

About the stupidest thing you could do from an economic standpoint

This is the kind of thing that Trump campaigned on and is another campaign promise he is delivering.

These kinds of agreements have cost families their livelihoods here in the US and are part of the reason so many people in our country have ended up on food stamps.

I hope Trump continues to tear apart all these global agreements that benefit other country's while fucking our own country over.
And the saddest and stupidest part of it all is that we have actually been the idiots funding our own economic downfall!

Promises kept :thumbsup

Globalists wants that - build up poor countries, slow down top countries. One country world as a final stage hundreds or more years from now.

Another genius idea...

Coal train! :pimp

There is no such thing as "clean coal", the best you can get is "less filthy". Typical coal plants use like 200 rail cars of coal per day. Of those 200 railcars, 150 or so goes up the smokestack to the atmosphere each day, the other 50 is the ash that has to be dumped somewhere.

lol what a fucking idiot. Natural gas is cheaper than using coal


Love his made in america themed week, but his family's shit is made overseas

His is an old-fashioned guy ... what's wrong with retro now??

not progressive enough for "progressives" :1orglaugh

Celebrating 4 more years a bit too much :1orglaugh

We should be spending that money developing clean, renewable energy. It would create jobs, be good for the environment, and help make us energy independent.

So what is wrong with him changing the economic environment in the USA so that companies can once again make stuff in the United States?

Seems like it's a good thing that he wants to get govt. regulation and taxes and trade deals to have a beneficial impact on US business and jobs.

You act as if it would be a "bad" thing for Trump to be able to bring the making of his clothing back to the US.

At least he is doing something about it.
That's more than you can say for all the crooked politicians over the last several decades who oversaw the mass exodus of production and jobs.

Isn't that what all the programs and regulations and govt. handouts that Pres. Obama signed was supposed to do?

Didn't work out too well.

There are a lot of issues with some of the global warming programs/regulations, but in the end, the United Stated increased clean energy production by about 55% during Obama's administration.

No matter what may or may not have happened under Obama, Elon Musk has put forth an idea stating that we could use a 100 mile X 100 mile area of Nevada or Utah for solar panels and that area could provide enough energy to power the entire country. IMO looking into this and seeing if this would work and how we would go about implementing it should be a priority.

At this point in time no one knows how well the Donald's, mostly talk/plans, will work out.

:1orglaugh

Sure Robbie. You go first - Let me know when you convert your house over to coal.

It would have increased under anybody. Much have changed in technology since Bush times, solar etc became more effective, lower priced and so on. Same with other clean technologies.
It will increase under Donald as well.

He's just trolling. He'll be dead soon anyway

yes but the petrol and coal lobbies will never allow this they can just buy more democracy...

The same was said ab out electric cars - oil lobbies will not allow it...

I'm in complete agreement on solar panels in the desert. And no...Musk isn't the first to talk about that.
That concept of 100 miles of solar panels out here in the desert has been around for a long time.

Matter of fact, back when Bush and Obama did their dueling "bail outs"... I brought that up on GFY, as I had read an article on it a couple of years before.

I think solar is great. But Pres. Obama punished the traditional energy providers in order to artificially raise the price of fossil fuels so that his buddies in Green Energy could make fortunes (and be handed billions of dollars of taxpayer money).

That kind of shit is heartless and un-American.
Families were already struggling to make ends meet...and the brilliant idea of Obama was to raise the price of fuel.
That drives up the price of everything.

So hard working people now had to spend more money to go to work, to buy groceries and clothing, to heat and cool their homes...all so Obama's Green Energy cronies could get filthy rich.

And then he slapped extra costs on people by forcing them to buy fucking health insurance on top of higher costs for fuel.

It's only a surprise to snowflakes that Trump easily won and that Democrats are out of power nationwide.

I've said it before...the Democrat Party needs to drop all this special interest, extreme left, communist bullshit and get back to being the champion of the working man and woman.

No they didn't Mr.feels...

build a wall :thumbsup

Solar wall :thumbsup

All of a sudden coal is the pet cause for the Conglomerate of Mouthbreathers and Mongoloids. It used to be religious nuts' right to discriminate against gay people, and before that it was saving the lives of precious cell blobs inside a woman's uterus they could care less about after it's born.

they just keep doing thing after thing that will earn them a special place in the history books where future people will read it and go "those fucking idiots pretty much stood for all the shitty things during that time period. They might be the most shortsighted, donkey dick sucking motherfuckers in history and it's a miracle I'm here to read this history book inside my protective dome that keeps the air from melting my skin."

USA sits on the biggest coal reserves in the world so its sort of dumb not to use them.

The major problem is Trump has been rolling back regulations to the point they don't even need to report on emissions now.

And that's where it gets scary

Coal is most certainly not the future, but for today.. its the best we have.

Tis a hard pill to swallow.

This is about the most stupidest thing ever.

yeah and whats the deal with these "e-mail"? it puts postal workers out of their job!!!1

And liberals on electric-cars which to charge from coal power plants.:1orglaugh

only 22% of the total power comes from coal...

did you ever look if there is also brain to find in USA ?

it has a simple reason WHY this coal is under the ground because if it would NOT be this planet would never have seen life.

that´s why we want to get rid of this power plants also.

still not done yet but many european countries are on a good way already.
in 10 years you will not find ONE coal plant in europe any more.

You're really not very clever are you.
