Trump can push what he wants. The producers and users of coal know any loosening by him is temporary.
It is not the old coal plants in the US it is the hundreds of new ones on China
We ship much more coal to China than we burn here.
Ironically the tarifs will crash that unless he carves out an exemption
Watch for it!
Well, if you are doing point source CCS coal is better than NG, as it had a much higher % of co2 in stack gases so it’s about 1/2-1/3 of the capex to build the capture gear and it’s lower energy to regenerate the capture medium.
The goal is to move away from fossil fuel emissions, and in North America, with the huge and uncontrolled methane leaks, coal might turn out to be a better interim fuel source.
If we were installing capture gear on all the new power plants in India, because boy, do they need the energy, the world outlook would be looking a lot rosier
If trump wants to return to the days of coal he can get rid of Air Force One and commute from his part time job in DC to his full time job as Golf-in-Chief in Florida on a steam train pulled by a coal fired locomotive.
If he wants coal lead by example and build on on your golf course
He is old and dumb. The rest of the world is moving forward and he is going backwards which will cost us way more in the long run
