SOTO VOICE (2021 Coal Production Up 8.9% Compared To 2020) Dumb Politicians Are Not Going To Like This No Way!
 American Hero |
Editor's Note; I guess that reality and necessity is trumping the Green New Deal fairy-tale of using reduced or no coal to generate electric in our wonderful country. Yea for the grownup bureaucrats who bypass know nothing transient politicians. With natural gas prices spiking and oil prices rising and West Coast reliance on hydro drying up and solar not there (5% of our electric was generated by solar last year), its coal baby coal...you might not like it but if you want your electric its gotta come from somewhere. USYEA!
