2018 is going to be the year of coal. Coal is currently humanity biggest and most important power source and is going to grow even more over the next few years. There's no stopping this coal train.

Go to bed Trump

I think you're about 100 years off there mate...
Coal is dying and that's fine.

Most Trump supporters are truly retarded.

>most
?

Coal isn't dying, nor should it be. Coal is going to be a growing power source for the next couple of decades and an extremely vital power source at that. There's also the fact that coal is a vital cornerstone of our industry and livelihood. Or the fact that new technologies are being made to make cleaner then most forms of renewable energy.
Fuck off shills

It's dead here. Right dead.
We have no coal plants left operating, no mines operating - but we do have the worlds largest battery.

Nuclear is killing coal in China

Fuck off

Who cares about dead chinks lol. America has clean coal technology already. And nuclear is a meme, only used by the chinks because they don't give a shit about human lives or the environment

Coal will be the fuel of the future after oil goes into terminal decline and renewables can't be subsidized anymore by the vast net energy of oil. Coal has a decent EROEI that can power industry and there are still plentiful supplies left. Personally i'm thankful we have it to burn, because without burning shit, where would humanity be? That's right in the dirt in rags killing eachother over berries.

Natural gas > coal

>fuck off shills
>shills for coal

classic

See this user. Coal is the future of energy and we better start developing infrastructure for it right now, even after trumps leaves office .

>nuclear is a meme
nothing personell kid

And we have a lot more coal then nuclear fuel. Not to mention that coal creates a lot more jobs.

You guys are so fucking stupid it's not even funny. Nuclear is by far the most efficient and cheapest way to generate electricity.

No you fuck, Coal is the future. Our current government and the free market has spoken and it will be so.

how can it be? it is already the year of the linux desktop

> Nuclear is by far the most efficient and cheapest way to generate electricity
Why did Westinghouse go bankrupt then?

>we have a lot more coal than nucler fuel
>he doesn't know that nuclear fuel can be recycled
>he doesn't know that seawater contains enough uranium for thousands of years of power
Because they tried to build nuclear in America, where the NRC is everything but pro-nuclear. The Koreans and Chinese have done it right with mass production of indigenous designs.
>hurr hurr it makes jobs
Because it's inefficient. Just like how renewables advocates claim that wind and solar produce more jobs. More jobs per/twh is not a good thing.
Why don't they put a plant in your backyard then? You seem more than eager.

Nuclear is no-go in Australia, even if all the red tape was mitigated, it wouldn't be commercially viable for 30+ years and even if planning started in earnest today, it couldn't be online before 2032.

Wind+Solar+Storage+Gas is the best way forward.

NO. Coal is the best way

Nah, too slow and less efficient than gas turbines.
We need generation that can respond in nanoseconds to minutes at most, not hours to days.

Coal is dying source. Only jobs in coal are shitty as fuck jobs. Trump is retarded.

You know what they say...
Burn the coal,
pay the toll...

china is really pushing nuclear tech. rolling out inland gen 4 reactors soon

>2$ has been deposited to your account from peabody

That's because global warming shills are trying to kill off coal you retard. Do yourself a favor and think about who benefits from cutting off all the coal jobs and threatening our energy security. The fucking chinese, whom then we have to buy their solar panels and dirty nuclear engery. Why do you think that Trump stated that global warming is a chinese hoax. We are playing right into their hands. They use more coal then us, and their usage is growing a lot year by year, they know it's the future and they're trying to stop us from having a slice of the pie.

>hurr coal is cheap

he really does look like a retard

You have absolutely zero knowledge how energy-economics work and how it directly relates to wealth.

Because climate change shills are internationally jacking up the prices to force coal out of business you retarded nigger. Coal is literally just black rock you dig out of the ground, of course it's gonna to be cheaper then anything else.

Insulting our president should be an act of treason you fucking libcuck

>hurr it's a conspiracy
They're not jacking up the prices in China, yet nuclear is cheaper. And don't tell me Greenpeace is blocking those coal mines, they'd get shot by the People's Army.

I'm not American. Just saying, your president looks like a retard. He also seems unable to drink water from a glass, what the fuck is that all about?

China the one pushing the global warming hoax in the first place you fucking nigger retard

That doesn't mean fucking shit, they don't put an economic burden on mining and burning coal yet nuclear is cheaper, probably even cheaper after now. If nuclear is cheaper than coal IN FUCKING CHINA then coal isn't getting much cheaper outside of China.

Coal is really the best option for us right now. And yet libtards are trying to kill it. Fucking retards

conspiracytard coal/oil shill nonsense. You realize China invests way more into renewable energy than other countries.

>hurr durrr you don't understand, I have secret knowledge
Wise up. It's not rocket science. Coal is cheap when you have lots of people. It's not a conspiracy or a global power play. They want the cheapest source that they can get. That coal creates environmental issues though. So.... pic related

COLE IS THE BEST GUYS

TRUMP TOLD ME THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX

Prove that coal is bad and that global warming is real then retard.

>prove that coal is bad
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Smog_of_London
>prove that global warming is real
The earth warms and cools in cycles, thus global warming is real

"clean coal" is a meme. Scrubbing out the co2 and other pollutants incurs a huge energy cost, making it significantly more expensive than other energy sources. Even dirty coal is having trouble competing with sources like natural gas, and renewable energy continues to drop in price as well.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Smog_of_London

We have clean coal now. No more smog.

>The earth warms and cools in cycles, thus global warming is real

>So in 10 million years the earth might be a little warmer.

Then what about all the bullshit about 5 degree warming in a hundred years you fucking climate shill.

science2017.globalchange.gov/chapter/executive-summary/

Yes, because that's totally an unbias source that isn't in the pocket of climate change shills. Really nigga?

>conspiracytard coal/oil shill nonsense. You realize China invests way more into renewable energy than other countries.
Don't answer him, he is obviously trolling.

Clean coal isn't cheap coal anymore your dumbass

In that case nuclear is definitely cheaper in most parts of the globe, and I'm using Chinese statistics, where coal isn't cucked
>most scientists agree that climate change is influenced by some degree by CO2 emmisions
>hurr it's a conspiracy

What's next? That the earth is flat? That we never landed on the moon?

The bigger problem with "clean coal" is that it produces a lot of hazardous waste in the process which has to safely disposed of. Another cost added into the process.

Also nuclear grows very fast if you let it

coal is the nigger of energy sources, only the goyim fall for that shit

>mfw my country is powered at 75% by nuclear energy
>mfw more than 40 years later and still no major failure
Nuclear for mass scale production
wind + solar where it makes sense
bonus point for hydro where it makes sense

Coal is trash.

>Nuclear plants in China
This is going to be problems for a country that can't even build reliable bridges

Why trump is reviving coal when no one wants to work in coal mines except for illegal mexicans?

even coalguys died.

Fewer people work in coal mines than work at Arby's restaurants. Why do we focus on these shitty jobs so much?

The nuclear plants are upgraded copies of French plants, no middleman manufacturing, all are directly contracted by the state-level companies. I wouldn't be wrong to say that they are of safer design than most the US fleet.

Because the people who do them are brainlet retards that will not choose to go to college again for a proper diploma.

they voted the cheeto man

Word, nigga.

I shouldn't be worried?

theguardian.com/world/2015/may/25/china-nuclear-power-plants-expansion-he-zuoxiu

So this coal is artifically created and not mined no?
I wonder if say some trees you depend on for coal might wirk just as well with the oil or sap.

Isnt terpentine pretty flammable ?
Isnt that made from pine sap?

>88 year old commie shill
Credible not.

No the coal will eventually run out as well. After that it's back to wood indeed. You can figure out the implications of that yourself.

What's the distribution of the number of workers on those energy production methods? Sounds like Simpson's Paradox to me.
