to-abolish-it

The one promise that President Joe Biden has faithfully kept is his pledge
to "close down" fossil fuels. We get two-thirds of our energy in America
from fossil fuels, and almost one-third of our power comes from coal.
That's quadruple the amount of energy we get from wind and solar, which
are niche forms of energy.

But Biden doesn't see it that way. He recently reiterated his pledge to
end coal production altogether.

"No one is building new coal plants because they can't rely on it," Biden
said on Nov. 4 while in California. "We're going to be shutting these
plants down all across America and having wind and solar."

I hope the people in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wyoming are
listening because thousands of mostly union jobs are associated with the
coal plants he wants to shutter.

Biden says we need to "shut down" these plants and the jobs that come with
them because we need to combat climate change. One problem: Most of the
rest of the world is using more coal even as we use less. Even the
sanctimonious Europeans are turning to coal because their natural gas
supplies from Russia are no longer reliable.

Germany is even burning wood now for home heating, which is about the most
environmentally damaging way to get energy.

But the biggest polluting villain by far is China. Beijing is now powering
its rapid industrial expansion with fossil fuels. The Chinese have more
than doubled their coal production and consumption over the last decade,
even as we in America have cut our domestic coal by almost half. Beijing
recently announced it is building dozens of massive new coal plants.

Does it sound like this nation of more than 1 billion people is concerned
about climate change?

White House climate envoy John Kerry has to explain how we are reducing
global warming if every time we shut down a coal plant, China builds a new
one or two or three.

Coal was the critical fuel source that powered the industrial revolution
in America, which made our economy the strongest in the world. Back then,
coal was dirty, and the constant gurgling of emissions from massive coal
plants turned cities like Pittsburgh into 50 shades of gray smog.

That was then. Now, American coal plants are cleaner all the time. In
2020, the Department of Energy issued a report that found: "Coal-fired
electricity generation is cleaner than ever. Research shows that a new
coal plant with pollution controls reduces nitrogen oxides by 83 percent,
sulfur dioxide by 98 percent, and particulate matter by 99.8 percent
compared to plants without controls."

That's a giant reduction. It's one of the major reasons why the air we
breathe today in America has been getting cleaner for 50 years. We've
reduced levels of lead, carbon monoxide, sulfur and other pollutants by
more than 50% � not bad, given that our economy is four times bigger.

The same DOE report found that "over the next 30 years, new coal
production of 145-345 million tons could result in 47,500 coal mining
jobs. The carbon products could also result in product value of near $139
billion and 480,000 manufacturing jobs tied directly to carbon products."
That's a lot of jobs, but the operative word here is could.

Will we? Not if Biden has his way.

That would be a damn shame. Under the Biden plan, we would move
technologically in reverse in our energy sources. America got rich by
replacing windmills with coal plants, and now, 150 years later, Biden
wants to replace coal with windmills.

That's a strategy for energy poverty and cold, dark nights. If you don't
believe me, ask the Europeans who are back to using candles to light their
homes during rolling power blackouts.
