An article comes out every goddamn day proving that the U.S. should be investing in renewable energies. But Trump needs them votes from coal country, so we're going to be years behind economically.
The only problem with the UK's energy problem is that they are shifting to natural gas and wood (which is much more ecologically damaging than coal), and even worse when their electricity security gets worst, really dirty diesel generators.
Wood is more ecologically damaging than coal? I disagree. For one thing burning wood is carbon neutral, whereas coal causes heavy pollution. Additionally, forestry can be a sustainable industry, whereas coal will never be.
