So pumped by this episode of What on Earth on CBC radio:

"Country star Corb Lund should be rehearsing for back-to-back tours. Instead, he’s wading deeper into the debate over #coal exploration and development in the #Rockies. It’s been more than five years since the singer-songwriter first set aside his decades-long commitment to an apolitical public image in order to campaign against coal #mining in #Alberta’s eastern slopes. He has lost fans and received pushback..."

A single ship loaded with #solarPV panels can generate as much #electricity over its 40-year lifespan as 100-120 ships full of #coal or 50+ large #LNG tankers, according to #InternationalEnergyAgency (#IEA) reports and analysis, highlighting a major shift in energy efficiency and value.

Most US coal plants could meet air pollution rules. Trump weakened them anyway https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/27/trump-coal-plant-air-pollution-rules #TrumpAdministration #Coal #Pollution #Energy #Environment #FossilFuels #UsNews #UsEnvironmentalProtectionAgency #ClimateCrisis

Arguing for coal is like arguing for whale oil. Tony Gilroy said it a few days ago and I think it fits really well. Coal is out of date. It worked when it was our only option, but it's antiquated now.

I hope this comparison catches on. It's time we moved on. The rest of the world knows it and already moved on, and they are laughing at us because to them it sounds like our leaders desperately want to keep whale oil going while everyone else already switched.

"The solar panels delivered by a single container ship will generate as much power over their lifetimes as more than 50 ships carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) or 100 carrying coal, according to recent IEA analysis."

Today in Labor History February 26, 1912: A coal strike began in Derbyshire, England. It developed into a nationwide General Strike on March 1. They were fighting for a minimum wage. After 37 days, the government gave them a minimum wage with the Coal Mines Act.
