    The gas lobbyist will turn it up a notch to destroy their energy competitor, coal. Did Krasnov do anything for the black lung victims? I thought not.

    Most the mercury in fish comes from fossil fuel burning and mining. Coal is both.

    Meanwhile China is positioning itself as a leader in the energy sectors of the future.

    It’s depressing to watch these displays, but even more depressing in the knowledge that our nation’s power is (as usual) being squandered to make a demented old man feel like a big boy and for keeping a handful of billionaires marginally richer with money they’ll never actually live to spend anyway.

      Unfortunately one of the advantages of dictatures is that it move fast in one direction. The main problem being if the leader is intelligent enough to chose the right direction, which they rarely do.

      On the other hand, democracies moves slowly, but the damages done by bad leaders are often counterbalanced by the good made by better leaders.

    Not enough propaganda. They should call it ‘Beautiful, Clean, Greenest of the Green, Climate Protecting, Bird Saving, Woke Antifa Tears Inducing, All-American, Beef Loving, Lungs Restoring Coal’.
