Coal is Extremely Dumb
Compared to the alternatives, coal is worse for air pollution, worse for ocean pollution, worse for global warming, uses more water, is less efficient, and costs more. Coal was a competitive source of energy before we had modern gas plants.

Questions About EVs? I Have Answers.
Even when comparing an electric vehicle getting electricity from a gas power plant to a gas vehicle, electric vehicles are still more carbon friendly because a car’s engine is less efficient at generating power than a gas power plant, and because a lot of carbon is used to transport gasoline. And, as electric grids use more and more low-carbon sources, the electric cars have an even greater carbon advantage.

There’s an Actual Reason You Can’t Recycle Plastic
Fracking creates an ingredient for plastic, and fracking companies can’t release that into the air because it is bad for the environment, so plastic companies get the ingredient to plastic super cheap from fracking companies, making new plastic cheaper than recycled plastic.

Trump rolls back Biden-era fuel economy standards, paving way for more gas-powered cars
“Trump said the administration was officially terminating Biden’s “ridiculous” CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) rules, claiming car prices would come down in response to today’s action. Automakers are now required to meet an average of 34.5 mpg across their model fleet by 2031, a dramatic drop from the average of 50.4 mpg across 2031 that the Biden administration had proposed.”

The Future of Energy Has Arrived — Just Not in the U.S.
As the U.S. backs away from clean energy and limiting global warming on the president’s false belief that climate change is a hoax, China is stepping in as a leader globally, leading on the issue and selling its technologies and products to countries around the world. Despite its leadership and its massive renewable production, it still uses a lot of dirty coal. China’s clean energy partnerships around the world give it influence. The Trump-led U.S. is banking on past fuels and energy, while China is advancing into the future.

Blame California Politicians for the State’s Sky-High Gasoline Prices
“”Californians pay an additional 72.4 cents per gallon at the pump attributable to state and local taxes and fees, which is the highest in the nation,” according to the California Tax Foundation.”
…
“”the state’s cap-and-trade program affects gasoline prices because it requires fuel suppliers to purchase permits that cover the greenhouse gases emitted when the fuel is burned. We estimate that this currently adds 23 cents per gallon to the price of gasoline.””
…
“California has effectively walled its market off from fuel produced elsewhere. They write that, despite bordering other states from which fuel could theoretically flow to satisfy demand and lower prices, California policies have made the state an “island” because of “capacity constraints on California’s pipelines and the state’s stringent environmental fuel standards, which effectively require fuel to be refined in-state and limit the ability to import fuel from other regions.””
