John Kerry says US 'won't have coal' by 2030

President Joe Biden's climate envoy John Kerry said the United States won’t have coal plants by 2030. “By 2030 in the United States, we won’t have coal,” Kerry said Tuesday during an interview with Bloomberg at the United Nations's COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland. “We will not have coal plants.” The U.S., the world’s largest economy, generates nearly 25% of its electricity from coal despite the rapid retirements of coal plants in recent years that have struggled to compete with cheaper and cleaner natural gas and renewable energy. Kerry’s comment is among the most explicit to-date of a Biden

Comments:

An insane comment. Coal is reliable, cheap, and plentiful. Let's stick all the envirowackos and 1 state and make them live under their own edicts.

Wanna explain to all the buyers of the EV how they are going to charge their cars up? Not to mention cutting the rug out from under the dealers trying to sell these over priced paper weights. We haven't had a new plant built in this nation in how many decades, yet they expect to have all the power they need after shutting down coal. What does Joe Manchin have to say to Kerry? After all, he seems to be the lynchpin for the Biden administration, yet Kerry keeps offending him.

Uh...huh...well 'splain this one to me. Public Service Company of New Mexico was forced to sell its coal-fired San Juan Generating Station because of environmental activists. The Najavo Indian Tribe bought the plant. So, now PNM buys electricity from the Navajo-owned generating plant. You're going to force a Native American tribe to close their electrical generating facility. Good luck with that...

Kerry, who served in Vietnam, thinks coal won't exist by 2030. I think China might have a different idea, since they are building coal power plants by the dozen and much of that coal to power those plants comes from the U.S. So the coal business will be up and running in the U.S. for years to come.

LOS ANGELES — Customers at Los Angeles restaurants will only get plastic utensils and napkins if they ask for them, under a new ordinance taking effect Monday that aims to reduce waste. The rule requires all restaurants with more than 26 employees to remove all single-use plastic utensil dispensers, the Los Angeles Times reported. Businesses must also stop including plastic utensils and napkins with takeout orders or for dine-in meals unless a customer specifically asks for them. Enforcement won’t begin until January. Over 32,000 mailers were sent out earlier this year to update restaurants on the new rules. The letters

Watching the news, one sees constant stories about COVID numbers rising, yet again, now almost two years into this pandemic, with COVID hospitalizations in some states higher than they have ever been except for the spike last December. In my state of Colorado, the test positivity rate is almost 10 percent, with 1 in 48 infected and if the current trend continues, this will be the worst COVID spike the state has seen.
