This is straight out of a Fallout game.
Could be another scene from Idiocracy too
It’s got what your lungs crave!
They had to make it seem cute, because anything else would point to the long history of coal mining unions.
Chernobyl (which I believe this image is from) was such a damn good miniseries.
The Soviets going in naked to shut down the reactor went hard as hell
I did not expect to wake up in a Simpson's episode this morning.
Thing is nuclear is way safer than coal.
But nuclear waste is stored in scary looking barrels, while coal waste is safely disposed into our lungs
Politicians being "pro coal" has reached the point of being comical to me
Coal is dead
We are never going to build another coal power plant in the US. Everything politicians do, and say, around coal is nothing but pandering
coal is literally obsolete, they're just subsidizing some rich guys and giving false hope to dead towns
"You're the worst character ever, Coalie."
"I know."
Coalie has a look in his eyes that screams "help im a victim". The artist must have based of their kid.
Yeah I enjoy that most of the maga propaganda art looks like trash, which I suspect is because most actual good artists are on the left
Coalie says “You wanna get high?”
He has one hell of a smoker's lung.
In the past I warmed myself with a coal fire, now I warm myself with a heat pump. I will stick with the heat pump because I am not a fucking moron.
"Hi, everyone! I'm Coalie. Just shove a lump of me up a republicans ass and I'll be a diamond in no time at all."
Fuck you coalie!
I say we burn him!
No wait don't that's what they want! Bury him. Alive.
Wait...
no not that.
So your telling me the dingusus came up with a "coalsona" lolol
Coalie is why kids yearn for the mines.
Is this a "Simpsons did it!" moment?
AI abomination
75 years of social progress...gone.
Worst PR firm ever: "I know! We'll put big eyes a chunk of coal, and it will be cute. Y'know, for the kids! That will save our entire dying industry!"
Coal is stupid, Donnie.
“Coalie” was the best they could come up with?
I know they just squeezed this out of the AI sphincter, but did they have to name it like a parody character created by a cartoon villain?
Coalie takes a bath everyday so he can be good, clean coal.
Whats funny with coal is im fine if we use it as a base material as long as we don't burn it. Like as feedstock for carbon fiber. Thing is the industry wants to rip it out full speed and burning it is the only process that uses it fast enough for them.
Does industry even want to do that? Seems like it just isn't worth it given all of the difficulties and expenses involved with using goal. Unless like they want to ban NG for being too woke.
Yeah I doubt they do. It goes back to burning is the only way they can sell as quickly as they want to. Its simply and industry that does not care about tommorrow.
Is this a John Oliver bit?
This is so god-damned sad and funny
I'm having a vision and it's Bronti and Trexxy, the cute and cuddly dinosaur friends promoting oil.
🦖🦕
I know oil isn't literally made from dinosaurs. That just makes the concept better.
Coalie's right arm is as black as his lungs!
Coal is cool when its in a musuem
Otherwise electric >>>
