Thanks Trump, largest Coal plant in Westren US closing 25 years ahead of schedule. (2019)
It's closing because coal is no longer economically viable as I've said many times. We aren't bringing back coal jobs unless you pay workers $1.50/hr. Even at that wage it might not be viable.. Trump = dumb, dumb that has no clue what he's talking about..
Three years ago, the EPA struck a deal with the owners of the largest coal plant in the Western U.S. to close the plant by 2044. Now?because of economics, not regulation?the owners plan to shut the plant down by 2019 instead. https://www.fastcoexist.com/3068458/...ad-of-schedule For the record the company I used to work for, installed the clean coal emissions systems at this plant just a few years ago. Meaning it's up to date to EPA standards it's just not viable to burn coal for power.. |

So are currently running mines paying 1.50 an hour? If not, your argument is debunked right there...

Even in China they are stopping coal and China has shit loads of cheap labor and shitloads of coal. China has 170 billion tons of coal reserves and they import it from slave labor in North Korea for dirt cheap, but even they see the writing on the wall. Solar & wind cost way less and is renewable.. Trump bringing back "coal jobs" is bullshit and he should be honest with these people and set up programs to retrain them rather than lie to them giving them false hope.. |

Do you not pay attention? Trump campaigned on and continues to promise to bring back coal jobs. It's not gonna happen. The "free market" has spoken and coal is not profitable. Do you want to pay $400/month for electric in 10 years? Because that's probably what it would cost for areas that rely on coal.
As less plants burn coal, the cost to dig coal out of the ground & transport it becomes more due to the cost being spread over a smaller customer base. The cost to burn coal will continue to rise while solar & wind will continue to get cheaper.. It's basic economics & business management 101.. This is the same thing which will push everyone to electric cars.. Fuel will cost more to produce as the customer base shrinks causing the price to rise. In 30 years we will not be driving gas powered cars and we will not have any coal plants left. They will all be electric self driving cars. (insurance cost will drive everyone to self driving). |

hey crockett, you dumb shit. trump, or congress, can stick a big fat tax on coal imports, & magically wipe away the economic advantage.
thats why he was elected president, dildo. promising to do exactly that, while hilary was hanging out with lady gaga. the coal plant will change their tune when the policy does. duh duh duh. back on the short bus dumbfuck. |

Coal Miners -- the writing was on the wall for them 25 years ago -- dumb as fuck. They had almost a generation to adjust -- adapt or die off.

Coal is not needed anyway, only poor people still using it which cannot afford electricity or gas.

It should be a warning sign that a guy traveling in a van knows more about the coal industry than the President of the US.. Then again it's not surprising being the current POTUS gets his news from the same sources as people like you.. Fox News & Alex Jones rather than his professional advisors who probably know something (no not the paid advisors he hand picked for his cabinet)

Unless of course you want to slap huge taxes on all of the other fuels that coal has to compete with. Now the great Orange Baboon is not about to do that. Not now he has hired half of big oil into his administration. Is he Josh.

Mapping Every Power Plant in the United States - Visual Capitalist Actually no.. Natural Gas from fracking has over 3 times as many power plants in the US. These newer natural gas plants are smaller and spread out vs really big coal plants. They are no longer investing in giant sized power plants but rather smaller more localized because even natural gas will be phased out due to cost vs renewables. The United States has 511 coal-fired power plants that generate 34% of the nation’s electricity. Coal produces the majority of energy in 14 sates. The United States has 1,740 natural gas power plants that generate 30% of the nation’s electricity. Natural gas is the most important source of power in 15 states. Coal's future is dead in less than 20 years most likely. Maybe even sooner. There is also 2 times as many people employed in the solar industry as there are in the coal industry and wind power is also catching up.. btw the stats above are wrong on the percentages (out of date the article was from 2015). According to the US gov dept of energy both coal & natural gas are at dead even 33%. (that's how fast shit is changing) |

We can have all the coal in the world, but if it costs more to extract, transport and turn into energy than the profits it will make, it's no better than a pile of dirt.. Stupid is not understanding basic economics.

Here in California we have a problem where they are going to be shutting down a lot of power plants ahead of time. About a decade ago - maybe longer - our power companies could not produce enough power for the entire state so we had "brown outs"... Which is when they limited how much power you could use. It was strange - you would walk into a department store and two thirds of their lights would be off. So since then they've built a lot of power plants to make sure it never happens again.... Now people are putting solar on their houses and businesses and power consumption is dropping down. All of these power plants are not needed, and will never be needed.

Major energy sources and percent share of total U.S. electricity generation in 2015:1
Coal = 33% Natural gas = 33% Nuclear = 20% Hydropower = 6% Other renewables = 7% Biomass = 1.6% Geothermal = 0.4% Solar = 0.6% Wind = 4.7% Petroleum = 1% Other gases = <1% https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=427&t=3 67% of electricity is NOT generated with coal fired plants. |

Now on the other hand, I don't believe the number of 0.6% for solar is accurate in the "real world". They are not taking into account all the energy generated by solar installed at businesses & by home owners. That energy doesn't get added to the totals because it just replaces energy that would of come from somewhere else. |

Also, there are actually private companies that have coal plants for example. American Sugar company operates their own coal fired power plants at their factories. Monsanto Chemical co also operates one as the company I worked for installed emission systems on all of them. Supposedly the Monsanto plant was the dirtiest plant any of our guys had ever seen which falls in line with that company's ethics. (dirty coal plant is not a good thing because they tend to catch on fire) |

If solar and wind cost way less...can someone please tell the Ontario government? Their experiment in renewable energy has saddled us with the highest electricity rates in all of North America.

My elementary school had a coal fired power plant c.1960. We generated our own electricity -- smoke-stack puffing dark grey smoke all day. Maybe, they took power from the grid for the minimal night lighting.

The problem IMO, is power companies want to build "grid tied" shit so they can sell the power where ever.. Solar as an example is power system that should be more focused on local usage with battery storage banks. That is where solar shines so to speak. I'm not really a fan of grid tied wind farms or grid tied solar as there is no way to store that power meaning it can never be consistent on it's own with out storage capacity. |

i strongly believe that our energy problem can solved - not today, not tomorrow, but in a process over the next 20-30 years - by: - first and foremost SAVING energy. more energy efficient technology (LED lights for example are a huge improvement in that) but also better building insulation for example. You can acutally build houses that heat and cool themselves without heating or air condition. Very expensive today but this is what R&D are for - backward thinking and religion have no place here. - also focussing on renewable energy like wind, sun, geothermal, water - there are still many uncharted possibilities here - and because the wind doesn't always blow and the sun doesn't always shine and we have not developed sufficient methods of storing surplus energy YET, natural gas (no fracking!) plants to even out the energy demand - also because you can power those up and down quickly, opposed to coal for example. Problem here: those gas plants are not very profitable when you just use them when the renewables do not match demand and therefore private for profit energy suppliers don't want to build them. And that's why - even as company owner working for profit - I do not believe that unrestrained capitalism is the answer to everything. Because in some things longterm thinking is more important.

Go out to dinner, have some fun. The world is still spinning when you're done.
And within the next 8 years time the world will look a whole of a lot better. Guaranteed. Unless the establishment manages to assassinate Trump - then you'll have the same shitty corrupt Washington veterans Clintons, Bushes and Obama causing wars, mayhem, division and racism across the globe. What is it with you Trump haters being so obsessed? 99% of your worries are based on empty headlines of corporate media constantly bashing him just to brainwash you. |
