How much evidence do you need - Impeach Posted: Nov 7th, 2017 - 8:36 am In Reply to: I live in "coal counrtry" and you and a few others - are way off. No one "gagging"
that coal is dirty and increasingly more expensive to extract compared to other energy sources. I am truly sorry for coal miners who have lost their jobs but many of these have been lost to technology. I would gladly support legislation to retrain these miners in clean energy industries. If this administration had any foresight there could be thousands of jobs for them!
As to the other silly questions - people who live in apartments and townhomes are not able to install solar panels or decide how the buildings are heated. All these technologies need more research and more innovation so that future generations will have the choice to use clean energy at competitive rates. Right now my townhouse is heated with natural gas - which is cleaner than coal. A new car is not in my budget right now but if electric cars are competitive when I am ready to buy a newer car, I will certainly consider it.
