So.........almost weekly in here we hear the same handful of climate crusader nutters tell us coal and oil are dead!! Ummm........apparently not..........as China continues to build 2-3 coal mines/month and now this news!!

We will never use on the fossil fuels in the earth.

Who said oil was dead? Coal has been for a while, but oil will be with us until better sources are more wide spread.

I'm so old I remember when Barack Obama mocked Sarah Palin for suggesting that we could “drill our way out” of our energy problems.

Coal's been dead for a while huh?

I'll admit, it isn't as important as it once was, but dead?

Try it makes up a third of our energy.

 

[MisterBeale]

And the reason our coal is suffering is NOT necessarily green replacements, it is because of foreign competition and cheap NG.

U.S. coal imports surge while exports plummet

Yes, there is lots of coal still being used. However, due to automation, it is no longer a credible source for jobs. The companies make a fortune, but other than any taxes those companies might pay, there is no help for the country, or the people in the area.

Are there three times as many solar energy jobs as coal jobs?

 

[gilly82]

Coal jobs are replaced though. Has been for a long time already.

Yes. Replaced with solar and wind energy jobs.

yuk....yuk..........

In the northeast, where I live, almost all of the electricity is generated..............by coal!!

On renewables, if you study it closely, progressives dabble in pure fiction. Solar energy is f'ing joke.......still provides the US with less than 2% of our energy!

Yes, and that's great if your only concern is that coal companies stay fat and profitable. However, it does very little for the hard working miners. There are more than 2 1/2 times as many solar workers than there are coal workers. Lets hear it for coal companies with their job killing automation that allows 1 or 2 workers to take the place of dozens. A handful of people can now run a complete mine that once took hundreds of workers..

US coal generation to decline into 2019 as gas prices stay under $3/MMBtu: EIA


Houston (Platts)--9 Jan 2018 437 pm EST/2137 GMT



While coal crept closer to natural gas in total US electricity generation share in 2017, gas will widen the gap between the fuels this year and though 2019 on expected lower prices and new capacity, the US Energy Information Administration said Tuesday.

In its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook, and its first report looking ahead to 2019, the EIA predicts gas' generation share will increase to 33.1% this year, up from 31.7% in 2017, and rise again to 34.3% in 2019.

At the same time, coal's generation share will fall to 29.6% this year, down from 31.7% in 2017, and dip further to 28.1% in 2019.

t’s finally happening. After years of research and development, of policy debates over subsidies and climate change and energy independence; renewable energy is finally starting to replace fossil fuel sources of electric generation across the nation.

According to data released on Aug. 24 by the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA), renewable energy in the U.S. through the first half of 2016, including hydro-electric power, biomass, geothermal, wind, and solar (including distributed solar), provided 16.9 percent of electricity generation. In all of 2015, that number was 13.7 percent. Non-hydro renewable energy was 9.2 percent of U.S. electric generation through the first half of 2016. For all of 2015 it was 7.6 percent.

Since June, numerous large-scale wind and solar plants have already been completed. More are under construction. So renewable energy generation will rise even higher by year’s end. And while its percentage will be tempered by summer peak demand, renewable energy will still likely exceed 16 percent of total U.S. electric generation and 9 percent from non-hydro generation sources during 2016. Next year looks to be even better. With thousands of megawatts of solar and wind under construction, 2017 could see non-hydro renewable energy rise to well over 10 percent of U.S. electric generation.

In 2010, non-hydro renewable energy was just 4.2 percent of U.S. electric generation. It will at least triple by 2020. That’s a big accomplishment in only a decade for the world’s largest economy.

Renewable Energy Was 16.9 Percent of US Electric Generation in the First Half of 2016

Wouldn't we all love to have a bank account with a growth rate like that of the non-hydro renewables.

Fake

You cant trust figures from RENEWABLEENERGYWORLD.COM .......... c'mon now!!




I rather trust what the Obama EIA figures showed for the same year >>>

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=26272

Nowhere remotely near 17%.........not even close!!In fact, wont be near 17% for another 25 years!!
