We could update the transit system and power it with green energy, but we aren't.

@beckyromero beautiful picture.

@Baremine everyone hates the truth and wants a gun-. Normal murka.

@jshm2 there is no 'green' energy. Sure the way it's transfomed into electricity varies but wind and solar are still not 'free' energy.

@HootyTheNightOwl sure! Modern tram? Same as a horse, or walking! You gotta make sure that you laugh loud!

Death on the highway-. Sacred stuff!

@Baremine and those 4 layers in that one mine contain more than 1000 times the amount of coal that has been dug up worldwide in the entirety of human history so far? Or did your sources say it could last a 100 years with current demand? Because then it will be depleted in about 15 years if you correct that for the rising demand.

@NerdyPotato I didn't say that that one mine could supply the whole world a hundred years. But it could supply it's area for a hundred years. Don't twist what I said. Our local power company who my son in law works for would be losing money on their wind turbines if it wasn't for government subsidies. This green energy is economic BULLSHIT.

@Baremine ok, not world wide, but the question is the same for your local area: a 100 years with current demand or a 100 years taking into account that within the next 10 years, you'll need as much energy as your local area consumed in human history, and double that in the 10 years after, and double [i]that[/i] in 30 years?
