@kpixtv: During an event on Thursday, Mr. Trump announced that his administration would commit $700 million in funding for coal plants and a new export terminal, reviving an Oakland coal terminal plan with $75 million in federal support. The terminal has been a source of debate for decades. Opponents have vowed to keep fighting the long-delayed project, arguing West Oakland residents would bear the environmental impacts while coal is shipped overseas.

Hey, wait - we are trying to build a Costco there! The City Council just announced that it is in negotiations for that. That is WAY more popular and useful than a coal terminal.

ToastQ09 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 :

Why are we investing in coal? Is it not hot enough?

Chuy :

Looks like work for the people

Whyy.are.you.alive :

Wind and solar can't replace power sources like coal that are scalable on demand. If supply doesn't meet demand at all times, regardless of weather or time of day, the entire grid collapses. The most solar and wind can do is supplement existing plants, which are already sized to accommodate 100% of demand. No, battery storage isn't feasible or used in large scale operations.

By the way, the health concerns did not go away
