Joe Biden: We’re going to shut down coal plants all across the country.

[Clipper]

it's always been illegal to poison people, dumbfuck. I'm talking about the ones that prevent American companies from drilling and building refineries.

To prevent refineries from poisoning people, dumbfuck? Think those refineries don't produce toxins, asswipe?

When did you stop using the products from refineries?

The regulations imposed in the last 40 years are not saving anyone from being poisoned, dumbass.

Yes they are, moron.

The minute the latest iPhone comes out, made with those toxic plastics, he runs right down to the store to buy one.

 

[bripat9643]

Yes they are, moron.

Name one.

Who said I did? I know what you're getting at so **** off I'm not playing that game.

You're enabling the release of toxins?

You monster!!!

You monster!!!

You're enabling your moron reflex?

You're making Gaia cry!!!

Wind and solar electricity might be cheaper to generate, but the capital costs are higher than coal and natural gas. Plus the fact that they're not all that reliable and strategically, it would be ******* crazy to rely on China as the main source for equipment and repair parts for wind and solar. It would be like giving them a giant ON/OFF switch for our power grid.

No, it’s not cheaper

 

[Concerned American]

your day is coming.

Yep, in two more days. Have you got your crying towel?

the guy who bilked his supporters out of $200 million in that scam he's running gives a shit about you & your cult, sucker.

You mean the Clinton and Obama foundations? The ones that funnel support to communists like BLM and Soros globalists? Like those? Keep those blinders strapped securely over your myopic head. BTW, you still need to work on that extremely limited vocabulary. Are you a Franco sock?

What Biden should have said is that 'coal producers are shuttimg down aging plants because the money grubbing sons of bitches won't spend the money to upgrade them to today's standards'.

He should have also added that Trump's asseaters don't know that they're having smoke blown up their ass by his lackeys.

Which is what you are.

Why didn’t he say that, Simp?

Electricity generation in the USA is done by legal monopolies. Your local power company supplies power and is exclusive to your area.
The Government controls the prices they charge for electricity. Controls the profits too.
TVA is Government owned electricity generation but is sold to co-op and small sellers to distribute power....and a source of a lot of Nuclear power. (Again Government controlled monopolies)

These aging coal fired electricity generating plants are not getting any assistance in cleaning the exhaust. (Usually in the form of tax breaks)

Now for the manner that the president spoke....they could just shut down. That would cause a catastrophic chain reaction of grid failures across America, Canada and Mexico. (Because they are all linked)

Then we would need a "Black Start". And there are procedures for that....but it will require days and weeks to get the lights back on.

Coal currently provides 30-40% of the electricity. Natural gas is number 2....then comes Nuclear power.
"Wind, solar, and other green technologies " are still under around 8%.

I stand corrected....
Here's a graphic

I'm not sure what year this was produced because the numbers keep changing from year to year. Then there's places like California which refuse to buy enough electricity and cause brown outs and blackouts for their constituents. So we likely should produce more....

As for oil, there's this -
President Joe Biden made an apparently unscripted remark Sunday night that there will be "no more drilling" under his watch, in response to someone in the crowd at his rally with Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY).

The comments came after Biden wrapped up his official remarks at the election-themed event, which was intended to boost Hochul's chances against her challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY).

No more drilling,” he said, waving his hand with a back and forth motion. “There is no more drilling. I haven’t formed any new drilling.”

The person was holding up a sign that read, "5 more years of drilling is a lose lose!," and could be heard yelling back at Biden about offshore leases. He responded, “that was before I was president. We’re trying to work on that to get that done. Thank you.”

This is days after Biden released his genius three-pronged plan to reduce gas prices. One of them was to encourage oil companies to invest their profits in production.

The guy is an empty suit. A moron.

The main issue is the mercury in the coal. Mercury is toxic to people and all animal life. It doesn't get destroyed by burning the coal but is spread out as exhaust unless expensive scrubbers are installed and then there's the issue of what to do with the mercury laden filters once they are full.

This issue is the leading cause of florescent tubes being phased out and being replaced by LED lighting. (Which use even less electricity than tungsten lighting or florescent lights)

The mercury keeps showing up everywhere. Milk and dairy products, meat, fish, fresh produce, and grain.

We may have to figure our a way to deal with the problem....currently unknown how to in a financially feasible process. But continuing use of coal will increase mental illness in the population.

Spray It. It Won't Spread If It's Dead.

Does mercury kill viruses, bacteria, and harmful insects? We need to sanitize our disease-filled air somehow. Common sense (but not the consensus of Commie Science) would conclude that auto emissions truly do clean up the air of its sickening natural microbes. In contrast to the scare stories propagated by the Green Monster, what those vicious liars call "pollution" had prevented all pandemics for 100 years before the ignorant "Clean" Air Act and the cronyvirus's Lethal Lockdown.

Dead Air saves lives. Our toxic air is a habitat for all the killers Nature throws at us.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

It's not even financially feasible and would cost trillions. Just stop

Gaianazis

It would also cost millions of lives and already has. Leftists have a natural instinct to make up dangerous ideologies. From snakes like them we who are aware expect nothing but snake oil.

Uhhhh....no. mercury has no effect on viruses. The trace amounts in your average adult doesn't affect them until they procreate...which then has disastrous effects upon the offspring. (Mental illness and deficiencies)
Which is why most women looking to become pregnant or are pregnant do not get their hair dyed red...because the red dye usually has some amount of mercury.

And reductions or removal of a portion of the food chain out of the environment is never a good idea.

Seals were hunted to almost extinction...to make hats. Which then caused an explosion in sea urchins which then destroyed fish habitats and destroyed fishing. Until a market was discovered for the sea urchins and now they are fished heavily to supply that market...which is slowly allowing the habitats for fish to come back. It is a precarious thing to wipe out a species we need. Like bluefin Tuna...we need them and they are continually being overfished to gradual extinction.

Utilities are a "monitored and regulated monopoly " . Their profits are regulated by the Government. Meaning that their profits and reinvestment of profits are also regulated.

There currently exists several issues with this Nation's utility companies in urbanization and de-urbanization.

We have several cities that have been practically abandoned by people. (Detroit and others in Michigan and Ohio)
This means that there is too much infrastructure, too costly to maintain to continue to service those people who still remain in outermost areas those infrastructures still service.

This de urbanization has been exacerbated by Covid and people "working from home" instead of going into the office....meaning that the plethora of catering, offices, and related industries no longer need the telecom and power and water but the suburbs are needing an increase in Utilities.
This stuff isn't magic...it's infrastructure we desperately need more of in some places and less in others. That doesn't get done for free...and the utilities can't afford to move stuff around.

Dimocrat Joe Manchin:

“President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs,” Manchin, of West Virginia, said in a statement Saturday. “Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden.”

Manchin unloads on Biden over coal plant comments

The White House released a statement following Manchin's admonition of the president.
