The New Age of Coal

No matter how hard environmental do-gooders are trying to kill coal, they're clearly not succeeding. According to a new report by the Energy Information Administration, despite the ongoing fear-mongering from the left, coal continues to be a major source of power generation in both developed and emerging nations, accounting for as much of the world's electricity today as it did in the 1990s. As it turns out, coal has proven to be incredibly resilient in Asia and Africa, where it has been pushed up by rising demand.

This information may come as a shock for anti-coal crusaders, but IT should hardly be surprising if the reasons behind its staying power are considered. The stuff is cheap and readily available, making it an ideal fuel source for developing countries around the globe – especially when it's not possible for them to employ prohibitively expensive renewables on a grand scale. Indeed, for some countries, exploiting their domestic coal resources is the only way to attain economic development and create a better future for their populations.​

So the Paris Accord is working as planned ...

And who cares about coal ash in rivers or lakes? Just because it is toxic to life forms is no reason to care.

...cares about coal ash in rivers or lakes? ...

Not to worry, the study the article mentioned was just for a few states; nationwide coal use has been falling for decades as with total U.S. energy concumption:

Op is, as usual with places like American thinker, made up of questionable information presented in such a way as to give a false impression in a reasonable sounding way.

It was known, for instance, that coal use would continue to rise for decades in the developing world. That information is neither a surprise nor unaccounted for in agreements like the Paris Accord.

Yes, it was known because all the claims about the practicality of green energy are total bullshit.

Coal is on its death bed. Get over it you conservative luddites and get with the future. Stop being so friggin afraid of our changing world or just get the hell out of the way.

Coal will be around for another 100 years, at least.

There will always be a place for a coal, but as a common energy source it is already dying and its dying will be accelerated.

And all of Trump's subsidies and all of Trump's men can't put the coal industry back together again.

No, it's actually not. Developing countries are turning to coal with increasing velocity. Your green energy shit simply isn't viable for countries like Kenya and India. If they want to have a modern industrial economy, they are going to burn coal.

Yep we too can be like totally polluted India China and sub-Saharan Africa... The GOP is doing a great job of it...

India is making a big push into renewables. As much as you conservatives are in love with that filthy fuel and are willing to spend billions are taxpayer subsidies to keep it alive, most countries will be moving beyond it not least of all because of concerns of global warming.India Launches Massive Push for Clean Power, Lighting, and Cars
