I think you missed the point of the meme... It's that Democrats are naughty and thus always get coal... Thus making them hate coal.

I think you missed the point of my meme.
Simply put: Coal Corporate Shill.

No your meme missed the point... Conservatives don't hate big corporations. A ton of them work for them. Conservatives don't like Corporations being "woke" though because it's not their responsibility to virtue signal... It's to make their products or services.

Corporations have the right of free speech (thanks GOP.) If they want to show support for a cause, who's to stop them? Why stop them? It's largely cynnical to think that in every instance that a corporation shows support for a cause that the reason is money. And if that's a case, that's a symptom of our economic culture in which we find ourselves. Like really, who gives a shit?
Don't Cons hate Google? Amazon? All the big tech? Microsoft?

I think what I'm seeing is "Some Big Corps are okay, just not all." I'm also seeing "I'd rather have the corp who wants to stick a knife in my back" rather than the others. Because, let's face it. Big Oil, Coal, natural gas, they don't look out for people. At all. If they are, they're literally "virtue signaling" by saying how they look out for people, but their actions have proved a-plenty that they don't really. If they did, they wouldn't be cutting corners to turn a profit.

You're right - Companies have Free Speech. They can choose to go Woke and when they do... The potential trial customer base has free speech to say "we don't think you should be virtue signalling" and boycott their products. Weird how the Companies that AREN'T virtue signalling aren't losing their customer base.

Natural Gas literally reduces the Carbon Footprint when it replaces Coal at Coal Burning Electric Plants... So yes, Natural Gas looks out for people. Coal Industry? Literally mines coal - so that it can be used to make electricity - so that folks like you can complain about coal on your electronic device. Big Oil? They keep drilling for the commodity that makes all the plastic possible, that makes most engines circulate without breaking, that makes most engines internally combust... All so people of the world can do things with their plastic stuff.

Literally these industries make the life people live... Possible. To say they don't look out for people when people couldn't live without their products ... Well that's just erroneous.

Cutting corners is the key! You're absolutely right! It's not like you guys couldn't have invested in wind power in the flyover states. A lot of tornadoes there, a lot of high winds. You'd think they'd make use of that. But... they don't? What about sunshine? No? Not gonna make use of that either? Of course, it would be foolish to cut oil and gas completely, no one's asking that. Anyone who thinks that is naive.

I would say that even though the reduction in GHG via methane use is a step in the right direction, and I commend people for taking the initiative in finding alternatives, it's not the end point, nor should it be. There's a gold mine to be discovered of cheap to manufacture, minimal impact on environment, renewable energy. Whoever gets the patent on that, will be set for life. Whatever country discovers it first, will leave the others in the dust as theirs will be the most sought after energy source. Hopefully, nuclear fusion will come through for us on that, and soon.

As for me? I live over on west side. We use a combination of geothermal, wind, solar, hydro and then finally natural gas at the end of the list. This house that I'm in? Doesn't use natural gas. Hell, we don't even have Nuclear plants anymore.

I might be more on board with Methane if companies *actually* did quality maintenence on their pipelines to prevent leaking.

The bottom line is though, it can't be denied that our ocean temperatures are rising. The majority of our oxygen production and global cooling comes from our ocean. As ocean temperatures rise, it will have a butterfly effect, or more to the point, a runaway effect.

The sad ironic part of this is that we couldn't use hydrogen if we wanted. Far too unstable, but so ideal for what we need. When methane burns, it creates more carbon dioxide. What's also concerning is the mass of sink holes appearing in the arctic circle because our permafrost is thawing. Stuff that's been frozen for millions of years. Before the last MEE, the planet was not suitable for human life as we know it today.

Methane's a good step, but not the last step. You wouldn't do a job half-assed would you?

The amount of barrels of oil, combined with the other resources, traffic related issues, assembly issues, maintenance issues, and then very low output of electricity per Wind Turbine.... Makes them a very poor replacement for a Natural Gas burning Electricity plant.

You're pulling for Nuclear Plants? I mean they are necessary to keep up with the electricity demands... But they have a bi-product of nuclear waste that can't be processed for anything else. Best option is to shoot it into space to where it wouldn't collide with anything until it's well out of our solar system... But then think of all the rocket fuel used to do that.

It's debatable whether or not Climate Change is or is not a direct impact of Human Beings and our pollution. There are people who are paid, by the people peddling Climate change - to find the evidence that it's happening. Those scientists get very lucrative $$ deals to complete the research. If their research proves nothing is going on - there goes their funding. So while these experts get paid to produce results and don't get paid if they don't produce results... There are other scientists who say this is a big hoax.

We also have documented proof that the Climate Change groups have been using scare tactics since the 1970s. In the 70s, it was we had about 10 years and if we didn't do something we'd all burn up. Then in the 80s... Same thing. We have a little over 10 years if we don't do something. 1990s, 2000s, 2010s.... Allllll of them use scare tactics of 10 years and then nothing. And let's not forget that they changed the name of it - when the warming factor wasn't happening.

If you're that gullible to believe that... I've got a half completed bridge I think you would be interested in.
