Important Things to Know

This might be a tricky thread to balance; we gotta try to keep out politics, heated opinions, and very possible truths that might still cause controversy. But, let's give this a go...

Important things to know about "Clean Coal"

Possible protest to link's viewpoint: Coal has brought jobs to otherwise jobless areas, has provided for countless families, and cannot be outsourced.

Justification of this post: Wind and solar can also bring in jobs, can be kept from being outsourced with the right regulations, and all the families it provides for will live longer, healthier lives instead of perishing in cave-ins or suffering from the slow, miserable death of Black Lung Disease. We do owe a lot to Coal for our earlier generations... But we have better alternatives now, and can leave it behind as part of history.

Wind and solar would bring more jobs then coal becuase once the coal is mine it's once.

solar needs people to run the panels and maintain them over time and tech to replace them with more efficiant ones evey few years. Also it would cost less and bring more profit for the utility company that is managing them this paying thier employees higher wages.

same with wind but needs more upkeep.

coal also still needs oil for the combusters to run and to power the trucks that need to haul it there and so on.
