trump's efforts to take us back to the 1950's are going to fail. trump appears to wish that the US fails along with his coal...

tRump is a looser and so is coal.

Green energy still has a long, long way to go. Despite all of the progress so far the problem is actually more difficult than ever as places like Africa and India start to industrialize more.

Coal Makes a Comeback

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

trump will lesson regulations protecting the environment until...yes....coal will probably make a comeback....then after he is gone watch people start dying from contaminated ground water....

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

cheaper cleaner (shake an American wild catters hand )natural gas was already doing coal in. renewables have barley scratched the surface of meeting The United States energy demands ...despite being a world leader in wind and solar electrical output ...as Chinese and Indian coal demand and New Chink and dot head coal plant constructions with life spans of half a century continue to grow by leaps and bounds. theirs nothing wrong with exporting or burning American coal ...

and good luck with the Chinese and Indians care bear ... i mean ya really don't believe they're going to shut a generating station that has a 50 year life span and shut it down OR even convert it in 5?10 years? ...you got a better chance of changing the weather with taxes and regulations

That would be none

domestic coal production for steel is up three percent
over all production up 1 percent in Appalachia
western production down 2

(all three from 52 week avg )

the 1950's are sure better then the year 1300 which the left wants to take us back to.

Most US coal plants are contaminating groundwater with toxins, analysis finds

Hey...a few people die...what does trump care....?

yup you have no problem with a half million or so dying each year due to no fossil fuel right?

Do fumes from cooking smoke kill 600,000 Africans yearly?

A policy think-tank has tweeted that indoor air pollution caused by cooking smoke kills 600,000 Africans every year. But estimating such deaths is not that exact.

Researched by Vinayak Bhardwaj




Indoor air pollution is a massive public health problem across the world. That is because three billion people are thought to cook and heat their homes with open fires and simple stoves burning wood, animal dung, crop waste (known as biomass) and coal.

Breathing in fumes from cooking smoke kills 600,000 Africans each year, a policy think-tank called the Africa Progress Panel tweeted recently.

Could the number of deaths be that high?

Estimating deaths due to risk factors tricky

The Africa Progress Panel’s tweet on 4 November 2016.
The Africa Progress Panel consists of a forum of 10 prominent people, including former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan and humanitarian and former first lady of Mozambique, Graça Machel. They aim to influence policy in Africa.

We asked the think-tank for the source of its claim, which is also repeated in an article on its website. We have not yet received a reply but will update this report if we do.

In general, estimating deaths due to risk factors such as air pollution is tricky, a professor of environmental epidemiology at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, Martin Roosli, told Africa Check.

This is because you cannot directly observe the numbers of deaths. When people die as a result of breathing in fumes from burning solid fuels, they usually die of breathing difficulties caused by acute and chronic respiratory diseases.

Deaths due to three lung diseases, in particular, are usually linked to burning solid fuels for cooking: acute lower respiratory infections in children under five, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer in people older than 30.

To determine the number of deaths that can be attributed to a risk factor, such as cooking smoke, researchers work out how many people are exposed to it. From previous studies, they would know what the relative risk is of dying from a disease caused by indoor air pollution.

The resulting fraction would be multiplied by the total number of deaths in a given country in a given year to get an estimate of the number of deaths due to the risk factor.

Yeah....so very WHITE!

Leftists are SO stupid!

Trump is attempting to reinvigorate the U.S. coal industry via sales to foreign countries. This is no secret.

The reduction in coal - for - electricity here has nothing to do with coal's environmental impacts, but rather the recent availability of MUCH CHEAPER natural gas. It's all about money, and thank God for that.

You say that like it's a bad thing. My lack, or abundance, of Melanin, doesn't having anything to do with me as a human being.

[/URL]
Solar and wind both need battery backup, and despite the falling costs of installation, the technology is far from competing with conventional energy sources. Today, solar and windtogether constitute only 0.8 percent of global energy. That is an insignificant percentage, given the energy demands of the industrialized world.

What problem is more difficult ?
We are at least 30 years behind where we should be on green energy because of politicians being owned by the fossil fuel industry. Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the roof of the White House and the first thing Ronald ( Iran Contra boy) Reagan did was remove them in 1981.

 

[Confounding]

What problem is more difficult ?

Replacing fossil fuels is a bigger task than before because less wealthy but very populated parts of the world are starting to industrialize. Green energy accounts for a smaller percentage of the global energy supply than it did 10 years ago.

That's us. Thinking 10 years behind while China is planning 40 years ahead.

I'm on board with green energy, but I think we should be pumping money into R&D rather than subsidizing companies so they can mass produce shit that just isn't ready to compete with fossil fuel. Once we learn to make better panels we won't need Uncle Sam to prop up companies in the private sector.
