It is you who are being subjective, not me.

I didn't say it was good or bad, I only stated what it is. Come down off your soapbox.

In a previous thread conservatives made it very clear to me that they were not against what is known as renewable energies but more so the government subsidies they receive. I'd like to hear more on what peoples thoughts are on the "beautiful, clean coal" remark.

Read some background on Obama's war on coal and see if you can figure it out on your own.

"Beautiful coal" is an oxymoron like "healthy plutonium".

Coal is beautiful when it is sculpted into the shape of Jennifer Lopez. Otherwise, it just looks like black rocks.

It is a way to play to states like West Virginia and Pennsylvania. A number of 2016 Trump voters in that area are thinking he forgot about that area.

LOL, been down that road before. As they say, once you become Democrat, you don't go back.

Back when I was a bachelor and had more free time, I was able to sift through the nonsense in the right-wing media. There is an insane among of lies and deception in that media bubble but you need time. Fast forward to today, the deception has only gotten worse, but I don't have time to go through who is wrong and right with a family and work.
