The EPA standards cited are on their way out but… narrative. Old coal is cheaper and more reliable than anything new…. but why let reality get in the way? Finally, personnel is policy. Anti-coal Obama holdovers are calling the shots.
Dear Coal Industry: Don’t underestimate the stupidity of your opponents
From The Economist, in continuous publication since 1843 — i.e., before electrification. Though born out of classical liberal (i.e., free market) economics, the editorial staff embraced brain-rotting climate bedwetting some years back. Anyway… we are now fighting electricity deniers.

In Pakistan, only greens complain about Chinese coal projects
Everyone else seems to appreciate the electricity and reduced frequency of blackouts.

Don’t be fooled by the ‘renewable energy’ label
The Fake News media dutifully reported this morning the EuroStat claim (Web | PDF) that 17.5 percent of EU power comes from renewables. Your default thinking might end you to associate this figure with wind turbines and solar. But you would be wrong.

DC Circuit hands EPA big science win
A huge win for all of us… thanks to eight years of advocacy by BURN MORE COAL co-founder Steve Milloy. If you read Milloy’s book, “Scare Pollution: Why and How to Fix the EPA,” then you already know that corrupt Obama EPA science advisory boards royally screwed the coal industry. Milloy began spotlighting and advocating on this issue in 2011, finally getting it in front of former EPA administrator Scott Pruitt. Pruitt made the rule change. And today, the DC Circuit upheld it. Fantastic.
TVA proposes to close Paradise, Bull Run coal units despite Trump tweet
Despite new report, CCS remains a fraud
A new report claims that 45Q federal tax credits for carbon capture & storage (CCS) can have a significant impact on CO2 emissions reductions by 2030. This is false and CCS is a fraud. The math is simple.
Trump stumps to save TVA coal plant
Grid-scale electricity storage can’t save renewables
A new report from the Global Warming Policy Foundation: “You need storage to deal with lulls in wind generation that can last for several days, so the amount required would be impracticably large. And because this would only be required intermittently, its capital cost could probably never be recovered… Wind and solar power are not available on demand and there are no technologies to make them so. Refusing to face these inconvenient facts poses a serious threat to our energy security.”
