More Coal > More Russia


Jul 6, 2022, 8:31 AM

lol. I was going to pose a question to the think tank here at Taggernet P&R regarding how we think we're doing on energy policy wrt climate change, what metrics we can look to see progress, etc.

Instead, I found this...so I think this pretty much summarized where we are hahaha

Coal burns very very cleanly in the liberal echo chamber.

burning wood and/or coal may make a comeback up north this year, considering the price of heating fuel this year

wood is a renewable resource too

GoWood!

we are now paying companies to accept our recyclables since china stopped buying plastic from the US (my county pays $95/ton)

seems like the technology is there to burn it and scrub the smoke, i could be rong

W T F kind of picture is that?

I see 5 cooling towers (no, those are not reactors), 3 maybe 4 stacks, and a single wind turbine? Has to be shopped, has to be.

Coal-fired plant that also has a wind turbine...


Jul 6, 2022, 9:56 AM [ in reply to W T F kind of picture is that? ]

at the site...probably a few more wind turbines out of frame.

# of cooling towers doesn't have to equal # of coal powered turbines

and

# of stacks doesn't have to equal # of coal powered turbines

I'm well aware of all that, I ain't no FBC


Jul 6, 2022, 1:25 PM

It's just the wind turbine looks out of place

MauldinT, where are you???


Pretty common nowadays...


Jul 6, 2022, 2:26 PM

generation companies throw solar and wind generation at existing generation sites (if location is suitable) since they already have the transmission lines there. A lot cheaper than locating separate sites.

you know it's serious when they ration hot water


Jul 6, 2022, 10:09 AM

which is what is happening in parts of Europe, such as Germany, right now.

In Germany, the Green party people are true sadists. Leather and chains aren't enough, they have to take away hot water too.
