Yes, Ron, everyone knows Clean Coal™️ is the one true source of non-pollution.
Is anyone stupid enough to believe this?
Yes... People are stupid
I used to ride the bus with a lady who grew up in a coal town. We once debated over coal. She said it was so green because there were so many regulations and that wind and solar were horrible for the environment because they were killing birds. So yeah, people are stupid.
Glass windows kill birds too when they try to fly through them. How exactly did she think solar power could kill birds or be bad?
PV panels, not really, but concentrated solar can and does kill birds. Not nearly as many as coal, though, lol.
Instant rotisserie chicken!
