    but experts say coal emits carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and several other pollutant
    What the hell is this crap reporting. It’s not like this is a contested fact or an opinion.

      Or simply run dirty energy as a last resort. You don’t need to, and shouldn’t be, dependent on a single energy source.

      they’re also getting the benefits of solar, despite voting for the moron nixing renewables while peddling coal and oil.

      States won by President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election accounted for 74% of all solar capacity installed in the first quarter

        Obviously fake, everybody knows that batteries are ruined by rain. Just like magnets.

          Heard a fantastic quote this morning for people with similar believes:

          This are the same people who ask ChatGPT what time it is

        That’s great and all, but I’m still waiting for it to be affordable to install my own so that it can also be a whole-house uninterruptible power supply.
