Trump is bringing back coal

President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders Tuesday aimed at revitalizing America’s “beautiful clean coal industry”—an objective that stems from his first term and comes amid growing demand for electricity sources to power artificial intelligence data centers.

I can hear the left now. "Trump wants to kill us all with dirty air"

The US primarily uses anthracite coal for power (by far the "cleanest" coal for burning), and we have massive reserves of it; China on the other hand uses mostly bituminous & lignite coal (dirty coal, high in sulfur)

No energy source is "clean"

This clip from the show Landman is 100% truth...

Stole my thunder! Yep we got endless wind turbines just a few miles from my house and Thornton explains it simply but effectively in this scene. The truth is kryptonite to leftists. It interferes with their virtue signaling tendency and oppressed narrative. Not to mention the brainless cognitive dissonance which is breathtaking. Reminds me of that hypocrite Greta Thunberg who's positioned and marketed perfectly to deliver emotional mini green manifestos - since her parents are professional actors/performers.

Who would've thought we'd have a non compos mentis president and a VP with the IQ and mannerisms of a weasel showboating a pretend presidency that pushed this lie. Trump sure put an unceremonious end to that dog and pony show while getting awesome results in no time.

@wildbill83 Thank you for that answer. I always wondered what "Clean coal" was.

So if we sold our clean coal to China it would be better for the environment, right?

You would think the left would love that, but since it is Trump, they are forced to
hate it.

@DogMan method of burning also affects pollution output; slower, hotter/complete burning whilst not being as productive tends to be cleaner; whereas maximizing energy output (fast and dirty, incomplete burn) is very dirty

It's a common misconception that any high carbon fuel is dirty when burned; while in reality, it can be as clean as natural gas when burned under proper conditions; even waste oil/motor oil (which is about 85% carbon by volume) is completely smokeless when burned hot enough
