Funny thing is where most of the coal, natural gas and oil is, in the northern plains. Nothing to lose by drilling, fracking and mining up here.It's dying because Obama is killing it. We have enough coal to run this country for 200 years.Coal provides electricity for refrigeration, which makes our modern food infrastructure possible. Without refrigeration, the cost of food would be multiples of what it is today. So, yes, coal is food. It's especially non-spoiled and pathogen free food.Coal isn't food...
So coal is the only way to power refrigeration?
It powers 40% of our refrigeration. Furthermore, it's a reliable source of power. Refrigeration isn't much good if it shuts down for an entire day. That's what so-called "renewables" do. Relying on wind power means that all your ice-cream and frozen vegetables will turn into puddles every now and then.
Natural gas is plentiful and just as dependable as coal.I guess that's why coal is dying.
