On reflection James maybe we should just that. Read some time ago Texas had enough coal to last it 100 yrs or so. So just do it and tell the e.p.a.to pound sand?????

Agree but have gotten confused. RFK Jr has advised coal plants poison rivers. So, have to wonder - assuming he's right - whether there isn't a cost effective way to address the problem. Particularly if we are building some new ones?
Before I retired, I worked for the Oregon PUC for 9 years. OR forced PGE to decommission the only coal plant operating in Oregon. During an inspection there was not a hint of coal dust anywhere. It was a clean operation, generating 15% of its electricity. PGE now must forgo getting any power at all from its plant in MT for use in OR. It pays to get electricity from Bonneville hydro plant and all hydro in states like OR are not consider тАШgreenтАЩ energy. The US will end up like Germany because we are not replacing lost electricity generating capabilities with nuclear.
Afraid quotes from that clan carry no umph with me. Agree alternative energy sources need to be found certainly better than the wind nonsense we are enriching china with, a china that is building more coal burning units as fast as they can
Not a believer in Global Warming or the merits of the extra $ that enrich investors in wind and sun. See it as a scam. Texas is maybe the only place wind may have some merit. At this point still support fossil fuels. However, if coal presents an issue - am willing to learn about it and whether there isn't some way to fix it. Definitely want to move beyond "quotes" and learn the truths of the matters asserted.
Texas made the mistake of relying on wind. In consequence I think the last count was 250 dead as a result of dependence 30% of its energy on wind that failed miserably during a killing cold season here. The turbines froze.

we really need to shrink our government to the basics and take away their power and give it back to the states.
They have abused their power WAY TOO MUCH, they are the monarchy they think.
Totally agree

Don't phase out natural gas. It's one of the cleanest burning fuels on the planet. Getting rid of natural gas is insanity.

The dirtiest thing about coal has been its politics
What a fantastic line. I love it!
