Nuance isn't as monetizable. Sure, there's folks like Jordan Peterson or Brett and Heather (Darkhorse) who found a niche exploring nuance, but the masses ain't got time for that.
That's why campaign slogans are 3-syllable throwaway phrases.

If it's made of aluminum foil your could tear it up into tiny spitballs. I wouldn't rule out 2028.
I admire that he is suing the WEF for promoting him against his will. I wish Tulsi Gabbard had done that.

California emissions regulations come full circle. They're bringing back coal powered trains.

I don't even know when the last coal-powered train to operate on regular routes was taken out of service in my country, yet there is a handful of touristic routes with ancient coal-powered trains still operating. An advantage of such trains is they could even use basically any other solid fuel.

I don't know how much you can trust news out of Chyna, but this isn't good.
When the coal and Uranium are comingled and it's too expensive to extract the Uranium, then it gets burnt in coal furnaces.
Levels as high as 1000 microSieverts/hr at the mines. Then it gets burnt downtown, where all the people get asthma.

Meanwhile self-proclaimed "environmentalists" pretend to care about giraffes in Amazon, which BTW don't exist in Amazon, they always keep a blind eye to whichever madness goes in China...

Coal helped create the first synthetic antibiotics.
https://youtu.be/3xxtHTN71jM
So coal gave us thermal heat energy, hydrogen gas lighter than air non powered flight, it introduced us to natural gas, synthetic fertilizer, helped make steel, coal tar introduced the idea of asphalt pavement, helped make concrete, dyes, paint.
Coal pretty much built, powered then maintained the modern age as we know it.

You've got your anthracite, bituminous, lignite and peat.
Anthracite is pure energy, like sweet crude oil. The rest is cr*p. Unless it's comingled with Uranium, then it's an attractive nuisance.

The power of coal compels you.
Get some of that coal booze. It will probably only have a little benzene in it.
