I genuinely thought coal was phased out as an option for power, and that fossil fuels were starting it's (very long) descent to being phased out just the same.
Fossil fuels will take way longer, but why the more recent interest in coal again?? That's the part I cannot understand, and I don't know where it came from
Coal is a fossil fuel, btw. Part of the problem is that through subsidies, the cost of energy is being kept artificially low in the US. We need the increase in cost to de-incentivize oil/gas/coal.
Lol nope we're fucked
