Nope. None of those.
Quote:SRP and the other utility owners say power from natural-gas-burning plants is much cheaper for them and their customers and is predicted to be a better deal for years.
Merely natural gas.... which in spite of the WLB's horseshit and lies has always been the big problem.
We need to make it so that the surplus of natural gas isn't just burned off when the price is too low, but is sequestered somehow in anticipation of need.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

And it's losing it's battle because miners are dying twice as much during Trump and his safety regulation cuts
Quote:Mining advocates put some of the blame on the president, whose support for mine owners has led to relaxed safety enforcement, scores of inexperienced new miners and inconsistent commitment to training programs and courses. In the meantime, Republicans in the House want to cut mine safety budgets further, and Trump, who says he supports coal miners, has been silent on a Senate bill that would shore up miners' pensions.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
