earnings from today's coal fired plants...not ideal, and they could manage their grid better...but it is what it is...a messy "transition".
(no message)
and coal fired plants are much easier to build...NOW.
New Nuclear Power Plants take more time to build, approve and staff. You can't just snap your fingers. Fortunately, the Biden admin has passed legislation to get GEN-IV plants through the demonstration phase and hopefully into widespread construction by 2030...write your representatives, urging them to support this transition.

The only hope is that global emissions don't grow as rapidly in the future, but there can be no question that emissions will continue to rise strongly.
This is what you alarmist morons don't - or refuse to - grasp. It does not matter what we in the US do. Read that last sentence 100 times. This is why you look so foolish when you throw hissy fits over FL offshore windmills. Whether we all drive diesel F-350s or Teslas, heat our homes from open coal pits or solar power, eat steak for every meal or consume tofu burgers - IT DOES NOT MATTER.
Just one data point below. And this doesn't take into account the growing energy needs of emerging countries with large populations like Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Vietnam, Bangladesh. Our emissions could stay the same or decline materially, and it would make no difference whatsoever.
I know I'm wasting my time, but someone needs to counter your idiocy.
there are alternative energy sources for heat and power?...seriously?
...from the attached Reuters article...
---------------------
The department created the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve in 2014 after Superstorm Sandy left motorists scrambling for fuel. But storing refined fuel is costlier than storing crude oil, so closing the reserve was included in U.S funding legislation signed in March by Biden, a Democrat.
...Bob McNally, president of consultancy Rapidan Energy, said unlike the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that holds hundreds of millions of barrels of crude oil, the gasoline reserve was "too tiny to provide much energy security and won't be missed."
--------------------
btw, the legislation that created the NE Reserve...and mandated its closure...was bipartisan.
Don't put your trust in ZeroHedge.

If Biden was caught fondling little girls you’d find a link to what’s actually going on.

...from the previously posted article...in case you missed it...
------------------
U.S. gasoline prices are about 30% cheaper now than in June 2022 when they hit a record above $5.00 a gallon. Prices have fallen as U.S. crude oil output has hit a record under Biden.
------------------
And they are just narcissistic and egotistical enough to think that their re-election is the most important thing for this country (when in fact, the opposite is true).
