Coal companies are literally going bankrupt as coal plants get decommissioned. When it comes to actual political power, the fossil fuel industry you want to watch out for is oil and gas, not coal.
Mine all the coal you want. If you don’t have anyone willing to buy from you, at a price that covers the cost of extraction, you will fail.
So even though the coal companies’ bankruptcies are getting them out of their cleanup and decommissioning obligations, the root cause of that is that coal just isn’t competitive as an energy source.
Nah, that’s just anticipating customer rage. When I worked in restaurants I learned very early on that it’s better to put things in a smaller container, and put the overflow into a separate container, rather than try to give them a little extra in the next size container that doesn’t get filled up.
It’s the meme with the kid failing to understand that the amount doesn’t change just because the container changes. Only with angry adults who want their money back.
