    Yes, Ron, everyone knows Clean Coal™️ is the one true source of non-pollution.

    Is anyone stupid enough to believe this?

        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?

            PV panels, not really, but concentrated solar can and does kill birds. Not nearly as many as coal, though, lol.

        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.
