The Real Problem

Your numbers May well be correct but the differential actually isn't relevant is it. You might be well served by facing reality and look at the future and not live in the past.

You're too busy looking for an argument . You must have missed this in my post.

"I think it's pretty obvious solar is the future."

No one is spending much money on coal research.
Coal will die stepping on it's own long logistical tail, VERY slowly!
Trump does understand the immediate future, and that future does require coal for a few more years.
Unless you are prepared to live without grid power for a decade, you should understand
that something that provides 30% of the electricity, is necessary, until the replacement is ready.
(The replacement is not ready!)

52.8% of electricity generation in 1997 to what 32% today? thats pretty quick. lets not forget coal jobs lost to automation and black lung.

LOL.

But doesn't he have it backwards? Isn't that want lwer s want???Living by candlelight..., biking or walking to work, and we'd all forego air-conditioning and tough it out in the summer and huddle together in a one room hovel to keep warm warm by body heat in the winter.

Ironically, isn't that how a huge number of people in the world live? The kind of people liberal pretend they care about?

They would give anything for a car, or central air ,or a heated home ( who cares how) . So what do liberals say to them?" Hey , you're doing your part fighting climate change-the biggest threat to mankind.Al Gore wont do it. Leo Di Caprio won't do it. Barack Obama won't do it. Hillary Clinton won't do it. Bernie Sanders won't do it. It's up to you to keep living the peasant life. For the Cause, man!"

You said "coal is fading into the past." That is a lie. It isn't.

You also said "coal people are anti American and are ignorant as hell." That, too is a lie.

Coal is a vital part of American energy production. Anyone who says it isn't -- is living in a fantasy world.

I was in Moundsville WV on Monday. I guess all those yuge barges loaded with coal I saw on the Ohio river, were just Fig Newtons of my imagination.

And it will continue to decline as alternative are built out to replace it.

Our goal should be, How do we improve the lifestyle of all those who want to improve?
Not to bring down our lifestyle to match those still coming up.

No, it is increasing world wide still.

They have more than four times the population of the USA, and are a growing nation of technology, still catching up on a per capita level. If you wish to be accurate, compare this on a per capita level. They should have more than fur times the growth. Is it?

Please... don't be ignorant.

No, liberals are not seeing the impact of needless spending.

The US employs 800,00 in renewables and china employs 4 million. Coal people are anti American and are ignorant as hell.

Looks about right to me... That is about 10% higher for China on a per capita level, but keep in mind, they are still catching up with things like hydro-power, whereas we can't build much more. They have a long ways to go, because they still have a significant part of their population living as third world citizens still. That is why they are at a higher per-capita basis, but it is still very slow for what it could be.

Why do you hate the USA?
