They do this every now and then to ‘prove’ me wrong. I’m the only right leaning commenter on this website. It’s both funny and frustrating

coal is dying mainly due to fracking. Natural gas has become so cheap. I still haven't seen anything to say wind of solar are there yet as a technology

US is also the country that was able to reduce its greenhouse gases the most in 2017

They may never be "there yet"

Wind and solar have gotten far cheaper. Fracking is killing coal. You should see the comments about fracking on this website. So dumb

But we already have better alternatives

Than wind and solar

Lol. I dare you to go on this website and support nuclear. They will attack you. Well swarm I mean.

Which site is this?

https://www.greentechmedia.com

>greentech

It’s a green energy news site.

Of course it is

Yes. Nuclear isn’t included of course.

Getting your solar cells from China and destroying habitats and flocks of birds are super green boys

Using hydro, thermal and thorium are bad tho, for reasons

I don't see Geothermal, Tidal, Hydro.....some missing things

Yes

Green = solar and wind

Greentech=memetech

Nobody talks about geothermal.

This sites main focus is solar.

I mean, China's gotta keep growing right?

Lol. They freaked out about the solar tariff and then nothing happened while solar manufacturing facilities are being built in the us.

hmmm also according to this guy companies are mercury poisoning everyone

I live on the Great lakes....his claim is about 3 decades old and been fixed

Wait? Do you see the comment?

https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/report-on-track-for-record-coal-retirements-with-more-on-the-way#gs.ct7cobQ

That’s the article

yeah I found the comments

a bunch are around coal ash......

Yes.

I believe that the coal ash issue is overblown

I would have to research it but I think many of the complaints they have on it are old.....and were covered in older regulations and are not the ones Trump is rolling back....again I would have to look them up

Yeah. I think that the issue has partly been caused by environmentalists anyways.

coal ash is a issue. but yeah environmentalists tend to over blow things

Two reasons why I think that: suppression of nuclear energy and suppression of beneficial reuse.

you know its only when the economy is good people care about the environment.....nobody would give a shit if the economy was bad

That’s generally true.

Things will get better though.

that has been the trend through human history...funny how few realize that
