All the decrease occurred under Trump. All the increase occurred under Biden.
Guess you skipped arithmetic in school.
I know you won't/can't answer or explain this, but why are you promoting the increase in coal production under Biden when his own stated policy is to shut down coal production in this country?
If you can, please explain this:
Biden's plans to kill coal plants
excerpt:
Biden sees that as a must to meet his pledge to cut
80 percent of the generating sector’s emissions by 2030 compared with 2005 levels and reach net zero five years later. Those goals are part of Biden’s broader commitment to address climate change — which he called an “
existential threat” in his State of the Union address.
They also fulfill his promise to shut down all coal plants in the United States.
*editor's note
When dealing with Leftists, it is best to watch what they actually do instead of just listening to what they say or claim. They can never defend or publicly support what they actually prefer, but they almost always vote for it.
ALWAYS
Therefore judge them on the actual results of their policies and/or decisions, not what they write about, or boast about, or claim to be in favor of. In this case, they DO NOT favor increased uses of coal, or even support the burning it! OP voted for Biden. Now he is simply trying to promote the false notion Biden is for expanding coal production. That is a LIE.
(from above linked article)
Coal, the powerhouse of the U.S. generation sector for many years, has had the Biden administration attack it through subsidies for favored renewable energy projects and by states that have mandates for their utilities to buy power from those units. Now Biden’s EPA is planning to add more regulations so that additional coal plants will be forced to retire because the cost to operate will be so high that they will not be able to compete against favored renewable plants. That is, EPA will make coal-fired electricity cost much more, and then argue coal plants are closing because they are uneconomic.
@Soaring Eagle 74 ...can you explain this since you claim Biden's policies are expanding coal production?
