Here amongst the intelligent we understand that you can't magically replace 39% of your energy output with another source. Especially since nuclear isn't on the table.

No one is saying that it needs to be replaced. The world can never be without coal and oil, everyone knows that. What people are saying is that the pollution it creates needs to be reduced. Who said remove or replace coal?

12clicks, I don't hate America or Americans. Your country is beautiful and your people are friendly. You guys have a shitload of accomplishments and without you, Canada might not even be here. You are completely missing my point and filing me away in a place I do not belong.
Controlling pollution does not weaken the coal industry or the American economy in any way. What you are hearing or reading about this is pure propeganda from the coal industry, nothing more. Controlling pollution BOOSTS the economy, helps keep air and water clean for today and future generations, and makes the place a nicer place to live.
