Yes, Ron, everyone knows Clean Coal™️ is the one true source of non-pollution.
Is anyone stupid enough to believe this?
Republicans
Yes... People are stupid
I used to ride the bus with a lady who grew up in a coal town. We once debated over coal. She said it was so green because there were so many regulations and that wind and solar were horrible for the environment because they were killing birds. So yeah, people are stupid.
Glass windows kill birds too when they try to fly through them. How exactly did she think solar power could kill birds or be bad?
Well ya see that there sun energy gets so dagnabbed concentrated in those there pannels that the poor li'l baby birds, bein' much smaller and weaker than a big ol' coal minin' macho-man like me, ain't able to withstand all that there sun energy. Coal tho? Coal stays rite thar in non-energy form 'till you wanna use it, allowsin' us to keep the energy levels below bird-killin' amounts.
PV panels, not really, but concentrated solar can and does kill birds. Not nearly as many as coal, though, lol.
Instant rotisserie chicken!
No, they aren't. In 15 or 20 years, however, when people have left their indoctrination camps disguised as schools ...
Children in school
Yep. They're trying to get their lies in as these children's first belief on the matter. Anyone pushing a different view (such as the truth) will then have to defeat this belief first. Same thing religions do, because they know their stuff doesn't stand up to neutral mature scrutiny.
Belief in Clean Coal would be an improvement for his brain!
He's currently trying to pave Florida roads with literal radioactive mining waste.
It’s fine though, if you say “radioactive” his supporters will insist it must be nuclear.
My Dad just last night was complaining about wind farms…
