  1. maybe look at china first as far as emissions go

  2. Just think of it this way. That coal supplies power to you baby sniffling spoiled brats!!! Do you know the dangers we endure so you can have your electricity to supply your phone and everyday needs!!! 90% of your needs today is run on electricity! While your home cozy is bed using electricity to power your heater or A/C. We work nonstop to keep that overwhelming demand to supply your electrical needs!!! As your electric stove kicks on, your electric coffee pot kicks on. Think about the ones who work to keep up those demands, do not judge us!!! Solar and wind will not keep up with the very high usage of America's electricity. Texas showed us that! Than some states are not even able to keep up with their electric bill causing blackouts. Think….before you condem….

  3. How about Nookular Energy like George (dumber) Bush says ?

  4. This most political Supreme Court ever will delay gutting Rowe/Wade till after the mid terms. They know their ruling will harm the chances for their Republican Party.

  5. Sri Lanka went from all fossil fuel to no fossil fuel and full solar
    It is heard it was the Europeans who convinced them to go 100% organic.

    Now they have no fossil fuel, full solar and 51 billion debt and 100% organic bankrupt.

  6. WE NEED OIR COAL MINDS BACK OPEN.
    Let's go Brandon.

  7. "Less fortunate people in our area" ? – Don't say "poor" ! – That's socialism ?

  8. Nuclear is the most efficient, cleanest source of energy they can supply power to the country. But our genius politicians want solar and wind which are a joke, the two most inefficient sources of energy.

  9. We need reliable, cheap energy sources Fossil fuels, nuclear, gas, oil, coal.
    This is insane. In only 16 months under sole majority Dem leadership they have decimated our Country. We are heading towards a major recession! Overspending, too much Foreign Aid, the idiotic Biden Executive orders, the Dem/Progressive energy transitions & Russian sanctions driving up energy costs, food costs, everything.
    Thousands of illegals are ready to storm our SBorder as soon as Dems drop Title42 the beginning of May!!! Fentanyl is pouring into killing Americans daily. Yet, Media doesn’t report on these facts or hold this Admin accountable for any of it. BTW, Ethanol that are planning to add to gas creates smog!! US use to be a leader in cheap, reliable Energy & exports. US regulations & energy standards were exceeding clean energy standards by 13%. Enough about encouraging a long drawn out war in Ukraine, nuclear war, WW3!!! Americans do not support it. You are manufacturing consent with CNN & MSNBC CIA & Intelligence officials. Senators/Congressional members are purchasing military stocks! Profiting off this crisis like Covid. Exactly like Iraq lies of WMD. Biden is a war criminal like Obama & Bush Jr.

  10. We've sent over 135 million meals to families in need through food donations. The World Food Programme is launching a 3-month emergency operation for Ukraine. Real impact with one tap. Easy food donations. Make a lasting impact. Transparent meal donation.

    The meals donated will help WFP expand its emergency response to care for 3.1 million people fleeing war in Ukraine.

    Donate to Ukraine – Food Charity Donations

  11. ⌚ ng πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ choke the life out of the western hemisphere one coal plant at a time..

  12. Sounds like a problem solving itself. Coal should have ended 50 years ago. You can’t keep destroying the planet just to support a back water state

  13. Microplastics have permeated even the cell organelles of the Human Body.
    Americans are still fighting about Coal vs. Oil πŸ˜‚

  14. Thanks to Biden, Coal seems the only possible way forward.
    Letz hope his Voters are not angry about climate change. Zzzz

  15. The government has released the Producer Price Index which measures inflation at the wholesale level. Under Bidens administration it has surged to a historic 11.2% in March. The government has been tracking this information since 1913. When Trump left office it was 1.2% for the year.

  16. Teach these loser coal miners how to code. Coal is an ancient source of dirty energy that needs to finally be phased out! People's jobs don't overshadow pollution.
