Other forms of energy sources, wind, solar, nuclear don't seem to be taking off very well. I'm sure that the technology for clean coal has much improved over the years.
Supporting an asshole is subjective. I guess I can be subjective and say that I didn't support the other asshole.
No, it's not done, but we should be slowly dismantling it and ensuring that the workers are looked after. It's not the fault of the workers that their industry uses up natural resources that aren't coming back and pollutes the environment, so I don't see why they should just be tossed aside, but then again, Clinton didn't ever suggest that.
Don't pretend that lobbying isn't a thing in this country, because you know the real reason those energy sources aren't taking off very well is due to lobbying from the fossil fuels lobby. Besides, private solar companies are doing great at the moment, and the main reason nuclear energy isn't moving forward is the scare tactics that unfortunately come mainly from environmentalists (see, I'm not saying environmentalists are correct on everything).
