If everyone was moving to the red states that would mean that the blue states are empty, yet that is not the case. West Virginia has the highest population decline of all states and it is red.

There is no war on coal, coal is a dying commodity because of its efficiency rating versus capital cost and operational cost. Are you still pissed we don't use whale oil?

The reason why they are moving is cost of living or economic conditions.

Thanks for the links, but it all depends on the question being asked. For example, the states with the largest number of homeless are generally BLUE states, and with the least are red states.

Homeless Population by State 2024

1. California (151,278)
2. New York (92,091)
3. Florida (28,328)
4. Texas (25,848)
5. Washington (21,577)
6. Massachusetts (18,471)
7. Oregon (15,876)
8. Pennsylvania (13,199)
9. Georgia (10,443)
10. Ohio (10,345)

The state with the least number is red, North Dakota.

Coal is second only to nuclear for lowest cost for generating electricity on a large scale.

19% of US electrical capacity is generated by COAL.
