    But usage is down

    Buddy…

    Burning coal where it is dug will always be less pollution than shipping it to the other side of the planet using different fossil fuels, and then burning it over there.

    Global Warming isn’t just a nimby issue…

    That’s why it’s called Global Warming

      why did we break fossil fuel production records under Biden after trump broke them?

      Trump 1 had record leases and all that new drilling came through while Biden was president, but Biden tried to cut back

      the problem is we’re talking about two different things

      It may have ramped up on Biden’s watch, but this is a Trump thing

      Global Warming isn’t just a nimby issue

      Sure, but I had responded to your question political statement and you changed the thread so we ended up in different places

      No one here will disagree with the global warming part. The us is both the largest historical emitters of carbon and one of those most resisting change. Yes in this case global warming is very much us centric. In this case the world really can’t do it without us

        So…

        You understand that blowing up mountains in America to ship coal to China so they can burn it is at least as bad for the environment as blowing up mountains in America and burning the coal here?

        If so, buddy I’m ready to count this as a win and cut ties.
