Good.
I hope we might finally be at the point in the US that promising to bring coal jobs back is not a viable campaign strategy.
Replaced by US fracking LNG, who knows how much methane leaks, before it reaches its destination.
They converted their largest coal generators over to burn wood instead and now the Drax company logs over 100,000 acres of forest for fuel every year now, mostly from North America.
